Make sure to cook it all the way through just like you would when cooking for people. Make sure it is not cooked with any onion or garlic, because this can be toxic to cats. It is best to remove bones, because these can sometimes get stuck in their throat. Feeding meat is good for cats, but you want to give a variety of different meats and organs (like liver and kidney) as much as possible to meet their nutritional demand.
