When cutting, you have the freedom to choose your method. Just a headsup: it's best to wash and keep the skins on the vegetables and fruits, as the skins are packed with nutrients.

Step 4: Job Done

What are the benefits of vegetable and fruit puree for cats, and why must it be blended into a paste? Can't it be eaten as is?

Vegetable and fruit puree mimics the undigested "vegetarian" parts found in the digestive tracts of prey, which is an essential component of a cat's natural hunting diet.

While not particularly palatable, too much puree can lead cats to lose interest in their regular food. It's best to add it in moderation to your cat's meal.
