I do occasionally give my cats raw - mostly chicken and turkey. They like raw turkey meat best. I rinse it well and pat dry, and cut into little pieces.
I have recently started buying organic whole chickens from Costco - they go into the freezer. These chickens have giblets, which I share with the cats. Same routine as above, tho' I don't feed liver. Not comfortable with that raw.
These giblet bags DO have chicken necks. Only a couple of my cats will tackle them. But Tex - my sweet, loving little tuxedo... having a piece of chicken neck turns him into a WILD ANIMAL!!
This is his routine. He snatches it from me and runs, growling, and goes under the kitchen table. I hear, "Snorthiiiiisssss!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr! Yumyumyumyumyum!!!" as he is chewing on his treat and warning his brothers to keep away. The first time he got tired of it and let me remove it. THIS time, no way!!! He ATE THE WHOLE THING! BONES AND ALL!
He loves loves loves it!!! When he was done he got this look of profound disappointment on his face, like... mama... there isn't any more!!!!
I put the other pieces back in the freezer for a later time.
Just too funny.
