It's not a good idea to feed cats raw giblets or any raw poultry...
canned cat food is partially cooked-pasteurized, and contains the
nutrition necessary for felines (do not feed cats dog food). I no
longer bother with the giblets, I feed those, the neck, and chicken
backs to the crows. I used to use the giblets and neck to make the
stock for gravy, but I don't even bother to make homemade gravy
anymore, the pan drippings are mostly fat anyway... believe it or not
if I feel like moistening turkey, rice, etc. I open a can of cream of
'shroom and doctor it some... cream of celery is good too. But I'm
not big into gravy so I don't do it often.
