Thanks a lot.
Yes, I also wanted to come by and check on this. What else if anything are you feeding him? While chicken liver is an improvement over cereal, it is not enough on its own. As I said in a post above, feeding cats raw requires effort and is time-consuming as you have to make sure all their nutritional needs are met. Please clarify when you get a minute!!
Yes, there are a variety of home-made food options here: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/264153/home-cooked-cat-food-resources
Just to be clear, cooked chicken liver is not the only thing you are feeding him, correct? Cats need meat, organs and a calcium source at a minimum.

@soomboom: I want to emphasis this also. It is critical, especially for a growing kitten, that his food include an adequate amount of calcium. If you haven't already addressed this it should be your top priority.What are you giving him for calcium? is he eating any raw bones or are you giving him crushed eggshells? Growing kittens do need their calcium---VERY important---so make sure he's getting that somehow. Milk doesn't have enough.
Many raw feeders use raw chicken bones as an excellent source of calcium. Only the smallest bones, like ribs, are usually used to minimize risk of choking. The bones of their prey is a cats main source of calcium in the wild.NO CHICKEN BONES OF ANY KIND, EVER! too small, too brittle, can get stuck the wrong way.
