FAQ:

   Yes, you can substitute white rice with an equal amount of cooked brown rice if your cat prefers it or has dietary restrictions. Just ensure the rice is cooked thoroughly before mixing it with other ingredients.
2. Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?
   Absolutely! You can experiment with other cat-friendly vegetables like green beans, broccoli, or zucchini. However, make sure to chop them finely and cook them before adding to the recipe to ensure they are easily digestible for cats.

   It is recommended to let the mixture cool to room temperature before serving it to your cat to prevent any potential burns. However, serving it slightly warm is fine, but always check the temperature before feeding your feline friend.
