fresh meat


does anyone feed their kittens fresh meat?

is cooked chicken ok for kittens or is it a no no?

got them well trained to come to us for treats and going to start using chicken instead of the off the shelf cat treats as feel chicken would better for them....

any views on this?

thanks

Re: fresh meat


Its part of a raw diet. Some people feed it as a full diet. I use Chicken as a treat. I feed pouches and they have dried food down all the time. Just help them selfs to it.

There area few different diets you can feed. It's really down to you.

Re: fresh meat


I feed mine fresh and raw meat but only have done from about 6mths (is that when they swap to adult food from kitten? can't remember) Anyway mince, beef, chicken, lamb and pork. I have only fed cooked liver and kidney tho (didn't really like that though). I and a few people I know think it stops kittens being hyper cos there are no additives as in cat food. Can also stop dogs from smelling (coats and bums) because of the same.

Re: fresh meat


Mine have always had cooked chicken as a treat, even when fairly young (three months). Raw beef as a birthday treat. I've never tried raw chicken wings.
