Three goals I am trying to achieve, and looking for the solution, I think its fat liquified and poured over raw meal.
Let me premise this by conceding that I know with a rotating diet, I could probably fit the fat in naturally.
Here are my three reasons I think adding fat would benefit my program.
1. My cats are young kittens, about to hit four months, but tiny (and the girl keeps "nursing" on her brother)
The other day I introduced them to HT bonless rabbit (dont worry, its just one lb, got plenty of whole carcass ground in freezer). They didnt go nuts for it. Their Bravo! beef paties, not an issue. I want them eating white meat and red meat, so I think taste is swaying them.
Now we all know rabbit is known to be a bit too lean for cats, so is it advisable to add just a bit of fat to it?
I can source untreated pork and beef fat.
2. I also wanted to use it as a flavour enhancer and a way to make sure these growing kids have all the fat and calories they need.
3. Which leads to a related issue, the boy is larger than his sister, yet he is as docscile as can be.
Not only does his sister beat on him (he barely fights back), she seems to hog his food too (I think he might be losing weight).
I need scheduled feeding training for multiple reasons, mostly so I know that one isnt eating into the other's meals.
I was thinking the enticing smell of rendered pork fat (can get top end at local farm) might get them to stop sharing bowls.
Thanks guys!
