The Constitution Kitchen


Your cat already tells you what she needs. Nobody ever taught you how to read it.

 Here's what almost nobody explains when you decide to cook for your cat: it was never just about "fresh food good, kibble bad." Two cats can eat the exact same beautiful homemade bowl and one of them thrives on it while the other gets itchier, gassier, and more miserable by the week.

That's not because one of them is broken. It's because they're built differently.

In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, every animal has a constitution — a body type, a temperament, a way of running hot or cold or damp or dry. And food is either working with that constitution or quietly working against it. The hot, itchy, restless cat doesn't need the same bowl as the anxious, skinny, can't-settle one. Feed them the same thing and you'll help one and frustrate the other.

So that's what I do here. I figure out which one your cat is, and then I hand you the recipes that actually fit her. 



The scary part is mine. The easy part is yours.

 Let me guess what's stopping you. 


You think cooking for your cat costs a fortune. I thought so too when I priced out commercial fresh food — the numbers add up fast. What you actually spend cooking it yourself is a fraction of that, and it isn't close.

You think you don't have time. I promise you do. This is a crock pot, not a stove you stand over, and cats cook on a shorter, gentler cycle than dogs do — the texture matters more for a choosier eater, so we don't overcook it. Most of the prep needs no chopping at all. Your hands-on time runs about thirty minutes a week.


You think you'll get it wrong and hurt her. This is the real fear, and it's the honest one — and with a cat, it's not an exaggeration. A cat's body has far less room for error than a dog's. She's an obligate carnivore: real meat, real moisture, and taurine she cannot make on her own, are not optional extras, they're what keeps her heart and her eyes working right. That's exactly why this service exists.


The hard part isn't the cooking. The hard part is knowing what to cook, how much of it, and what has to go in the bowl alongside it so the food is actually complete for a cat's body specifically — not a dog's. That's the part that keeps people up at night, and that's the part I do for you. You just cook.

Two doors in. Pick the one that matches your dog.

THE HOUSE RECIPE

THE HOUSE RECIPE

THE HOUSE RECIPE

For healthy cats.

I identify your cat's constitutional element, then build you three recipes matched to that element and portioned to her exact weight — plus the supplement guide that makes those bowls complete and true to feline biology.

This is the door for most cats. Including the itchy ones, the yeasty ones, the gassy ones, the ones carrying extra weight, the anxious ones, and the seniors slowing down. None of that disqualifies you. Honestly, that's most of who walks in here.


What you get:

  • Your cat's constitutional element, identified and explained in plain English — what it means, why it matters, what to watch for
  • Three complete recipes built for that element, built around real meat and real moisture, the way an obligate carnivore actually eats
  • Exact portions calculated for your cat's weight, not a chart you have to interpret
  • Calories per batch and per serving, done for you
  • The supplement guide — taurine, calcium, everything a cat needs and how much, dosed to her weight
  • Storage, batching, and swap notes so you're not locked into one grocery run

THE SPECIAL ORDER

THE HOUSE RECIPE

THE HOUSE RECIPE

 For cats with a condition their vet has diagnosed.

Everything in The House Recipe, built around your cat's current medical records and bloodwork.

Some conditions change the actual nutrient math — how much phosphorus, how much fat, how much protein, and what has to come out entirely. This matters even more for cats than dogs: a cat's body has far less margin for an unbalanced bowl. I can't eyeball that, and I won't guess at it. So for these cats I work from your vet's records and recent labs, and I build the recipes around the numbers on the page.

This is not the fancy version. It's the version for a cat who needs something out of the ordinary. If your cat is healthy, The House Recipe is genuinely the right door and you're not missing anything by walking through it.


What you get:

  • Everything in The House Recipe
    Your cat's records and current bloodwork reviewed before a single recipe is written
  • Recipes and portions built around the condition, not adapted after the fact
  • A supplement guide adjusted for the condition — because some standard supplements are wrong for some cats
  • Notes on what to re-check, and when

    ⚠️ Required, no exceptions: current medical records and recent bloodwork. If you can't get both from your vet, I'm not the right fit for your cat right now — and I'd rather tell you that up front than take your money and guess.

Who this is for

  •  People ready to cook, who just need to know what to cook
  • Cats who are itchy, yeasty, gassy, overweight, anxious, stiff, or just... off
  • Anyone who's already switched proteins and gotten nowhere
  • People who want the math done, not a generic recipe that ignores what makes a cat a cat
  • Cats with a diagnosed condition whose owners can provide records and current labs (Special Order)

Who this is not for

  •  Anyone looking for a cure. I don't cure anything. I build food that supports the body your cat actually has.
  • A cat with a diagnosed condition whose owner can't provide records and bloodwork. Not a judgment — I just won't formulate blind on a cat who can't afford for me to be wrong.
  • Anyone who wants me to overrule their vet. I'm not a vet, I don't play one, and medical decisions belong with your vet. Nutrition is my lane and I know it cold.
  • People who want a single magic recipe. Your cat is going to change — with age, with seasons, with life. This gives you a starting point built on who she is right now.

An honest word about itchy cats

 I need to say this plainly, because a lot of people in this space won't.

Feeding for your cat's constitution takes food off the table as the cause. It does not guarantee the itching stops.

Here's what I mean, using my own house as proof. I have two dogs who show both sides of it — one whose allergies are completely gone on diet alone, and one flaring right now purely from what's growing outside this summer. Same food, same house, two different causes. The same is true for cats: sometimes the bowl is the whole answer, and sometimes it rules food out and points you somewhere else.

So here's the honest promise: if we feed your cat for her constitution and the itching clears, wonderful — it was the food, and now you know. And if it doesn't clear, that's not a failure. You've just eliminated the single biggest variable, and now you know it's something else. That's real information you didn't have before, and it's worth having. 

And if it turns out it isn't the food

 Then you've got a new question: okay, so what is it?

That's what my Constitutional Analysis is for — built for cats too. That one goes past the bowl entirely — your water source, your lawn, the pollen where you actually live (not your state, your town), your laundry detergent, your cleaners, your candles and plug-ins, your carpet powder, your cat's litter and litter box setup, the flea and tick products on her. Everything touching your cat all day that nobody thinks to question.

The Constitution Kitchen answers what do I feed her. The Constitutional Analysis answers what is going on with her.

Start where it makes sense to start. A lot of people find the food is the whole answer. And if it isn't, the door's right there.
