If your cats won't eat bone then you can supplement with a pinch of ground eggshell powder. Fish body oil is good for omega-3s if you're not feeding grass fed/wild
meat.

Just wanted to add, the amount you need to feed will vary depending on the cat - I have a growing, big Maine Coon who's over 5kg now and he gets 150g per day. It's best to start on 80g, then see how it goes. If your cat starts getting skinny, feed more
And agree about the supplements - as long as the cat eats bones and organ meats in addition to meat, there's no need for supplements other than fish body oil (NB! Not cod liver oil).
I don't see any reason for including carrots, or any other vegetables for that matter
