    Raw forum

    Seems like the raw section is starting to fizzle out. We did pretty good there for awhile. But now, with very few posts, it may mean we covered everything you can possibly cover. Ha Most likely not. Hopefully once my little one is born, I will be able to dive back into the research and keep you...

    Considering cooking my own cat food...

    Just a random one I pulled from the website. But the other ones, I have seen, are not complete for maintenance and would even make me sweat a little about getting everything balanced over time. So hopefully the op can get some vet guidance before even thinking about attempting a diet, and...

    Considering cooking my own cat food...

    Please don't feed anything listed on that website. Home cooked diets are, IMO, not too difficult. But, while I don't claimed to be an expert, feeding the ones listed on the website will take a little knowledge to achieve a balanced diet over time. There is a reason why most commercial food has...

    Raw as a treat?

    That seems to be the normal thing some people run into. Either can't find it or can only order boxes of them. My local Co-op, health food store, sells them in small packages of 4-6. But chicken necks are part of my kitties main diet, so I usually buy the 40lb boxes of them. I have heard of...

    Raw as a treat?

    What are the 15%, of nutrients, they are supposedly missing? First time I have heard of this. While its difficult to predict what a perfect natural diet is for a cat, since they eat pretty much anything that moves. Generally most raw feeders, if not feeding whole prey, try to adhere to a prey...

    Raw as a treat?

    If you are able to source them out and if your kitty accepts them, I would try chicken necks. They have a fair amount of small segmented bones that normally require teeth to really get down in between to break apart. If bones are a no go then my next suggestion is to try gizzards. They are very...

    Flutd

    Hopefully your vet can figure out whats going on. While FLUTD can be a diagnoses, its pretty vague IMO. I think of it this way. FLUTD is the overall condition and UTI or crystals are the specific problems in the condition. Both generally have different treatments...

    Sources of chicken necks

    I buy mine from a local grocery store. They don't normally have them in stock but can order them. Before that I bought them from an actual butcher, but she had to order them also. So if you haven't already asked, next time you are in a local store ask the meat department what you can order. An...

    chicken wing question

    I usually just feed to whole thing. But if your concerned about the tip just cut it off at the joint and feed the rest. My bone crushing veterans still have a little trouble with some of the largest part, of bone, in the wing. Sometimes they will plug away at it and other times they will give...

    Is a raw meat diet safe?

    IMO you shouldn't feed the diet listed in the link. While I feel a raw diet is generally pretty easy, it takes some knowledge before you attempt an alternative diet. I would start by getting a feel of it by searching/reading in the raw sub forum. Double check all of our info and claims...

    Prey model and bones

    Thanks for you thoughts. This topic really didn't come to an actual conclusion. With the information available to us I can only offer it as a theory and let people decide for themselves. Hopefully a concerned raw feeder will win the lotto and acquire the information that we all desire. You may...

    Grain fillers in cat food

    Nope, just a lot of wannabes. Including myself. I think feline nutritionists are a rare breed For the most part,IMO, you are correct. My question is can you provide a reason why cats produce amylase? Meat means $$$$$ while plant products are generally $. Plant products can take care of most...

    Sardines and Green Tripe for cats

    In the freezer section of a local store. They are fit for human consumption. If you have one around, the place koobe mentioned will probably be a better route then a regular store. But they may be hiding in a store near you. Before I was feeding canned in spring water. Fish fridays are...

    Sardines and Green Tripe for cats

    Mine eat whole raw sardines about once a week. Most of the time they eat the whole thing. But sometimes when the sardines are bigger than what they are use to they will not eat the head, sometimes will leave the tail also.

    Raw diet vs. today's economy

    Its on average $0.50-1.50 per day to feed one cat. I can feed my four kitties for about $1.15 per day. So meat prices will determine. Comparing to regular Innova feeding a 13oz can from a bulk buy case will cost around $0.65 to feed one cat a day.

    Has anyone tried Cranberry for UTI's?

    Thanks for the info. I am pretty sure from one of snake_lady posts that she feeds mainly wet food. Are recommendations for wet food somewhat similar to dry?
