So long story short, I plan to make my own cat food from now on after having some troubles with commercial brands. While looking on Amazon to find a premix to mix into the raw meat, I came across U-Stew. It has everything you need to feed a cat, just add COOKED meat! At first, I thought this was a bit weird. Why would I cook meat for a cat that's able to digest raw animal protein? Isn't feeding raw better, afterall?
After a bit of thinking, I realized that regardless of the meat being raw or cooked, I'd have to add supplements in anyways!!
So this leads me to my question... what's better: raw or home-cooked?
I'd think raw would be better... but I can't seem to come up with a reason why. Both - raw and cooked - would need supplements added regardless, so it's not like one is better than the other in terms of nutrition...? I can see cooked being better in some instances, especially if you're dealing with ground poultry meat, since ground meat has a risk of spreading bacteria since it's grounded up.
I hope this all makes sense. I'm just really confused now, lol.
