Hello. I am new to the site. I have been feeding my three boxers prey model raw for five months. Yesterday, we adopted a little male Maine Coon mix kitten, His name is Thor. I thought he was 9 weeks old, but just found out that he is five weeks old. I've had cats before, But I have never fed raw to a cat. I do believe that it is best for him as I believe in the most natural care for ourselves and our animals.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice as of what/how to get him to eat?
I offered him a few 1/2 in cubes of pork heart and a thigh from a Cornish game hen at room temperature. Originally, I thought that he had eaten a piece of the pork heart, but he did not.
We tried feeding him again this morning with no luck. I put the food I offered him last night into the food processor and made it into a mince that is similar to a Pate style canned food, he is a little more interested in it and is going up to it and sniffing it like crazy, but he isn't willing to try it.
From what I have heard/read about cats, you can not use the though love method as you can with dogs. Cats need to eat or else they will get sick?
So do I get to break down and buy kibble? Or can we give this a shot?
