The Catfood Problem

Alright... so first of all, the cats have to be fed, that's the first priority. With that said, I definitely know of zero locally made/sold cat food that would be bar code-less... so I've decided that probably the best route would be to start making my own. I can get veggies until they start g-moding bar codes into their peels, and i can buy bulk rice at the asian market or oatmeal in bulk, but cats need(?) meat in their diet... or at very least they definitely need lots of protein (apparently 4x that of dogs!)

I'm not about start giving money to the meat industry just for this project, and most of that would have a bar code anyway... and stealing meat (legal disclaimer:stealing=bad) doesn't seem reasonable with the butcher counter and all that... and then I'd have to cook it and get all my food stuffs gross and fleshy... which isn't that big of a deal, i can wash a dish if i have to... but still, that'd be a nice lesser option. Any one have any experience with making your own cat food? anyone know a local brand? totally open to suggestions on this one =D
