Hi,
Hershey Rose was a feral I adopted last September. She eats raw that I make from Dr. Pierson's recipe. The first few batches I made were white meat chicken. Then I added dark meat the next few batches. She wasn't as interested. Recently I added pork as a second protein. She was fine with that for a while, but is now bored with it. I went and got some lamb yesterday, but she wanted no part of it. I can't afford rabbit or lamb, but the lamb was medalion samples (glad I didn't buy any from the market). The last batch was 2 whole chickens, minus bones because my grinder would not do bones (waiting for refund so I can get a Tarin), chicken hearts, gizzards and liver, pork, eggs, bone meal, Taurine, E & B complex, salt, etc. But now she leaves about 1/3 of it in the dish. She is still getting the same amount of food she has been getting since November when I started her on raw, 1.5 oz 3 times a day. She looks fine, not overweight or underweight. Can anyone give me a way to "spice up" her food so she gets interested in it again?
Also, my other cat, who has been raised on Friskies and Whiskas canned food (before I adopted her) won't eat any healthy foods (Merric, Inova) but wants her junk food. I am trying to mix some of the better food in with the cheap stuff but she won't eat it. Eventually I want her on raw also. Has anyone converted their junk food eater to raw that could give me some advice
Thanks,
Lei-Ann
