Star Trek cookbook pet food question
In the Star Trek Cookbook, there's a cat food recipe under the Data character entry. My question is, how effective is it as a homemade cat food? Would it work as dog food?
The recipe (Catfood #219 , subroutine |DataSpotNancy|):
1 pound liver, kidneys, hearts, haggis or other organs
water to boil meat in
2 cups bran
2 cups old fashioned oatmeal or rolled oats
1/4 cup canola or other cooking oil
Boil meat in saucepan with water until cooked, cool, then mince/grind
up.
Mix in water used for boiling and other ingredients until you have a
dough like mixture.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Form kibble or bite sized biscuits from the dough.
Arrange biscuits on oiled baking sheet and bake for 3 hours
Turn off oven but leave sheet inside, then air-dry biscuits for
another 24 hours.

Addressing the recipe part only:
Cats in the future must have undergone significant changes in their digestion and hungriness. ;)
Cats can't really use the bran or oats, so they're essentially just filler.
1 pound of organs is quite a lot for a cat (and there's also the filler stuff).
Overall I'd say this is clearly meant as some kind of treat and definitely no full food replacement and definitely not a single meal (poor Spot!)
Considering the ingredients I'd say it's better fit for dogs than cats (they'll be able to utilize all the nutrients).
