I've been feeding my cat Simba a raw, frankenprey diet for about a month now. She has adjusted well enough, but she dislikes eating liver and kidney. At first I would cut up the organs into small pieces and mix it with some of the liver juice, and she would slurp it up, but recently she stopped doing that as well. I feed her chicken liver and pork kidneys, because pork kidneys are the only secreting organs I can find so far. I've also tried turkey liver in the past but she hates it even more.
Today, since she hasn't eaten organ for a couple days, I got desperate and mixed in some tuna juice with the cut up liver and kidneys. She ate it right away. Is this a sustainable way of getting her to eat organs? If anyone has any ideas or past experience, please let me know! Thanks in advance.
P.S.
1) I find that pork kidney has an unpleasant smell. I purchased it from an ethnic market and it appears to be fresh. Is this normal for pork kidneys? I hope she's not refusing it because it's not fresh.
2) Is it okay to freeze her food in two weeks' worth of divided portions? I always make sure I thaw it in the fridge overnight. Would it cause the nutrients to degrade or cause her to dislike eating it?
