7. CAT JELLY

3 cups chicken broth
4-1/2 tbl flour
1/4 cup carrots --diced into small cubes
3/4 cup minced meat (cooked) pieces of fish- optional, but it would be better to use this (COOKED)

After the chicken broth has been made, allow it too cool for around 2 minutes. Add all the flour and mix. Some flour might not dissolve but this is absolutely no problem (It will when you heat the mixture later on). Heat broth and flour mixture on high heat until a thick creamy mixture is formed. Immediately add all other ingredients and pour all contents of this meal into the cat's container. Allow it to set into jelly like substance with the carrots, minced meat and fish suspended in it. Serve to the cat.
