The theory is that cats are adapted to eat small prey (birds & rodents), so if you are feeding raw meat from bigger animals like rabbits, you need to have some organ meat, some bones (must be raw, we used to pulverise them in a blender) and the rest raw meat (the raw food aficionados call this 'frankenprey'!). We also sometimes add powdered taurine, as taurine doesn't like being frozen, and we generally prepare several meals at once, and then freeze the rest.
It works out a little more expensive, but not much, than conventional pet food, and obviously it takes little bit longer to prepare, and you end up doing a lot of butchery (chopping up rabbit, heart, liver) but our cats seem good on it.
Don't take my word for it, read some of the literature (mostly on the web). Some of it is woo-woo, but some of it seems founded in good science.
