My cats are 12 years old. I'd like to have them be raw fed without a grinder, or are they too set in their ways to learn to chew and swallow bones, or will I not have to spend $100 I really shouldn't be?
My cats weren't completely on raw (liver there, hamburger here), but now they can't do it at all. My mom is moving into a friend's house until his tenants leave and I don't think he'd like all the grinders and meat filled freezer. Plus, he feeds his dog Science Diet so would he really...
You can harness train an older cat, and Figure H harnesses is especially good if he's uncomfortable (no need to slip the cat's head or leg through-it just snaps together).
Small, meaty, uncooked bones are fine. Cooked bones are not appropriate, or ones with little meat. Chicken ribs, wings, necks, and small turkey wing tips are healthy.
Both of my cats are former barn cats and they see desperate to go outside sometimes. However, being former barn cats, they are somewhat skittish. Is there any harness that doesn't require slipping their legs or head into (which stress them out)-just snap and go? Any advice would be great.
Have you tried the multivitamin? Spinach, beef, chicken, and steak are healthier than lunchmeat, but she still may be lacking important nutrients. Vary her sources a lot, too. I'm glad she is okay.
