Instant Mouse

I'm looking for the recipe for "Instant Mouse" from The New Natural Cat by Anitra Frazier. Is it kosher to not buy the book, but ask for the recipe? I did used to own it...
Response by poster: Thanks, all.
Greg Nog: I did try this for my own pelt! As I mentioned, I did used to own the book and have made the Instant Mouse before - perfectly fine ingredients for a human (I sprinkled it on scrambled eggs or something like that) except for the bone meal - GRITTY!
Orthogonality: Thanks for pointing that out. I intend to use Instant Mouse as a supplement, not a complete diet. I'm moving to Japan and can't read the labels, and judging by the prices, the cat foods I've found there are not the superduper premium stuff my girls eat here. So I want to mix up a big batch to take with me.
Which makes me wonder if I should leave out the bone meal. Probably cow bones, and I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to take any American beef into Japan.

Just for the record, the book itself does seem to address the topic of taurine.

In particular a cat needs and cannot synthesize taurine; without it, the cat goes blind.
