How to make homemade cat food?
How can I make homemade (wet) cat food? I usually feed my cats Natural Life dry cat food during the day, and canned wet food in the morning. But I want them to have more nutritional wet food, and I don't think the commercial products are good for them.
Besides what I should make for them, how often should I give them wet food?
I would feed the cat wet food exclusively. You can prepare homemade raw food for your cats easily but you'll need some background information first. I suggest that you join the Yahoo raw feeding groups for support and information.
For some information on cat nutrition read these to start. They are long, but worth it:

There are many excellent canned foods. You will not find them in a supermarket, dept store, or even in some of the chain pet stores (they may carry a couple).
Some premium canned foods are: Natural Balance, particularly Ultra and Chicken and Liver Pate, Wellness, Wellness Core, Innova Evo and Innova Evo Duck and Merrick's.
It is completely untrue that wet food rots a cat's teeth! I have had some very elderly cats with good teeth and gums! None of them ate much dry food, I used it when I went away overnight only. My dear Elvira was in her early 20's when she died and she had them professionally cleaned only twice - the vet was amazed at her teeth (she never lost even one) and gums.
I'll try to update this later.
If you are intimidated starting out this company makes a product that takes all the guesswork out of making catfood.
Here is the recipe I use for about half my cats' raw food. Scroll down 1/4 of the page. You actually don't need a grinder for this if you are willing to chop everything up finely or chop some and put some chopped in the blender or food processor:

The recipe shown is for use with that product which is a supplement mix.
