Will this unit grind boneless chicken for cat food?

Yes. Without a doubt it should do a very good job of grinding chicken. Nice and powerful. Take the bones out first. Hope this helps.

Possibly, but I would buy a meat grinder for that purpose. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=meat+grinder

I believe so. We haven't used it for meat yet, but it's pretty sturdy so far! I'd probably suggest boneless chicken strips/pieces to be more efficient.

i would not use the magnum if you are doing just chicken bones. it is very good if grinding the meat and bones together. But i wanted to give my cats chunks of meat in addition to the ground so i cleared the chicken bones on about 10 and proceeding to grind them. although it worked, the bones got stuck several times and when i went to take the grinder apart to clean, it would not budge. i had to use chop sticks to push the pieces of bones out (took quite some time) and then the grinder finally opened

yes! this works great as a food processor. I've made chicken salad and grinded other foods with no problem

We have had ours for months and it is used twice a week grinding chicken and chicken bones for cat food and we haven't had a problem.

Yes! I have two units and two cats and both of them have mastered the art of pulling food out with their paws. They can only manage to pull out 1 or 2 pieces at a time (through a very determined and dedicated effort). Otherwise it is a great unit, we use them when we go on vacation.

I'm sorry, I really have no idea. I do have two cats, but I have no reason to try this with them. I suppose it would if the bowl you're using is small enough that they really have to work at getting around the device to get at the food. I'm sorry I can't be of any help with this question!

Yes. It grinds the bones in chicken legs and quarters with no problems at all.

Yes. But I would not recommend this model. This particular Granite Ware is very cheaply made and not a quality product. Despite the drawbacks, it does get the job done for any poultry items less than 3 lbs.

It will grind the tips from any animal nails as long as you get them used to the sound of the motor first. Our cats finally got used to the whirl of the motor after a few filing attempts.

Unit is designed to crush only 12 oz. aluminum cans.I believe 5.5 oz. cat food cans are steel and not suitable for any consumer grade can crusher.

I tried grinding cooked ground turkey. It required a lot of "muscle" to push the food through. As a result, I also wound up with metal shavings in the food because the metal is too soft . I wouldn't buy this product. It's not worth the risk of metal shavings in the food.

It's funny that the product pictures show chicken wings (bone in) loaded in the feed tray and some meat ground so one would assume that this grinder can grind bones. Why are you tricking customers into thinking this product grinds bones when you say it won't.

Sure it will. You don't need a lot of marinade liquid. If you have a lot of meat to marinade, do it in batches. I found that it can do four large chicken breasts but I wouldn't do more than than at a time.

It should work. Just make sure the unit is secured so the cat cannot topple the unit. You'll also have to program it to deliver the amount of food you want at each feeding. Also, try to keep the unit in a dry area, my unit was pushed in my pond by a raccoon and was inoperable after that.

No I don't think you want to try grinding bones less you want a big mess on your hands....I ground small 1" peaces of just meat and it was a big job pushing the meat down the feed hole it kept pushing the meat back up and out all over the counter....You should look at better electric unit to grind bones.........LEM makes a good unit but expect to pay 200 at least........

I have used it to puree a tiny amount of thoroughly cooked chicken breast for my cat!! I suppose it would work well to make baby food, also. The key to using this cuisinart well is: don't "overload" it. You need to put only a tiny amount in at a time per the instructions. I really enjoy my cuisinart Mini Mate. I actually own two of them, one of which I use for grinding coffee beans and the second for "food."

We use it to grind chicken thighs and legs. To get it to fit through the opening, you have to cut the pieces down a bit. But it grinds them just fine.....
