Since I got my kitten Duncan (now 7 months old), I have been closely looking at the ingredients in commercial cat food. He seems content to eat anything you put in front of him and constantly begs for table scraps, but we never give in. I have been looking at transitioning him to a raw diet. I have found a lot of good information about it, but every website you look at has different information. Is there one site that has everything I need to know? Or do YOU know everything I need to know? I want my kitty to have the best of everything.
It seems easier to use a raw diet supplement than to try to find all the different vitamins they need. Are these as good as they seem?
I'm not the typical broke college student (my fiancee has retirement benefits from the Army), so I can afford spending a bit of money, but I don't want to go broke feeding him! How expensive is a raw diet compared to a diet of kitten food and canned food (we feed him about half a can a day)?
Duncan tends to have very stinky bowel movements. We use Arm & Hammer litter, which does an amazing job at covering this up, but for the first few minutes after he goes, it is AWFUL! He doesn't have diarrhea or anything, just smell. This must be a sign of something. Is this vet-visit worthy (very expensive...), or does it just merit a change in diet? Does raw diet help with digestive issues?
Please help me. I feel a bit lost. But I really want what is best for him, and I doubt "meat by-products" are in his best interest.
