Occasional raw meat

[lillypie]

Hi! I feed Lilly a combo dry/wet food diet of Merrick, I cook a lot and often have leftover raw chicken (unseasoned) left from cooking, is there any reason why I couldn't give this to Lilly in little chunks for her to enjoy occasionally? I gave her about 3-4 big chunks tonight but now I'm wondering if that was okay to do... Thanks

I will occasionally give my Pushy some raw meat as a treat. Just a little while I'm cooking, and just because he begs so desperately for it. He has been known to steal raw steaks/shrimps/whatever he can get his paws on and when he eats too much he'll either vomit or get diarrhea. But just little treats now and then are fine for him. If your Lily enjoys them too then I don't know why a healthy cat can't have some.

Thank you!! She went crazy for it, you forget how sharp those teeth are until you put a big piece of meat in front of them, lol.
