Wow, I must start off by saying there is a huge wealth of information here
.
All my cats are kibble eaters and I just started them eating wet and really would like for them to eat raw since that is much better for them. I was always told that kibble should be fed to keep their teeth clean, the crunching.
I realize I have to make a slow transition from kibble to raw as to not upset them much. I read a great article posted here that helped with that.
I do have a question about bones. Do small bones in chicken pose any choking hazard? I understand that a cats eating habits are different from a dogs, but I always heard never give small bones to a dog due to choking. Am I correct that a cat is able to eat bones better than a dog due to their..for lack of better words, hunters?
If so, eventually would it be good to just give them a chicken breast or leg and just let them tear at it?
Sorry if I seem daft about this. I have had cats all my life and never thought to feed them raw food until I came here. The vet NEVER mentioned the benefits of raw feeding. I am excited to embark on a new nutritional avenue with my kitties!!
