Anyone feed raw ?After having some discussion about cat food in another thread I though I would ask if anyone feeds raw meat to their cat?

Hi Matt it`s me again, that is one route I am seriously contemplating going down, I have over the last few months done quite abit of research about it and I think it would be a good idea for them both but especialy for Maxi with his problems. I have already got a stash of whole raw rabbit meat (sorry for any rabbit owners, I do love rabbits as well) it is meant to be really good for them though  I have just held off really giving it to them properly until Maxi has another clear sample( don`t want to tempt fate).They have had some and Maisy wholfs it down she loves it but Maxi just has a nibble and then walks away not to interested  , but will keep trying. |

I feed mine raw chicken wings a couple times a week but not a full raw diet. Same with the dogs although they get a bit more than just wings. |

Hay Leesy, yes I'm also contemplating this route. I've been told that small chicken wings are good, the bones in them will brush their teeth. I'm a little cautious of this as I'm worries about bones and my cats choking, but after all its fairly natural for cats to eat bones. Next time we have fish or steak I'm going to test it on M&M before I cook it. Then i might move up to chicken wings. |

I have read about this, but the thing that makes me think it would be good is that it is harder to eat than normal cat food. It would take longer and therefore be more entertaining. Indoor animals get bored! Except, I can also see it being messy. Now do I really want raw chicken wings being carried around the house? |

Have a look at this thread, where you will find a fairly poor quality video clip of Bentley demolishing a chicken wing, whilst he was still pretty young. They love them! Yes, you will need to wash the kitchen floor after. You can also give rabbit joints (sorry bunny owners) or lumps of 'tough meat' - a piece of sinewy shin of beef for instance, or a lamb's heart. All serve the same purpose - food, exercise, teeth scouring and entertainment. (I was a little apprehensive at first - those bones! - but they just get those teeth and jaws working on them. If they were in the wild and fortunate enough to catch a rabbit or pigeon they'd eat the lot - not request that someone fillet it first) |

I feed my two a completely raw diet, can't recommend it highly enough. |

I dont feed raw to mine but did consider it for a while. I tried them on chicken wings and they weren't that interested at all. |
