I am starting my cat on a raw food diet. I found recipes online, which I plan on following to the letter. In the meantime, to get him used to it, I bought a raw food starter pack from my local pet store.
He absolutely loves it, but he loves it so much he won't eat his regular food. I'm trying to introduce it to him by giving him small amounts, but he won't eat the rest of his food. I'm worried he's not getting enough nutrition. We tried giving him a larger amount of raw food (~1oz) once a day and then his regular food at the other times, but he got so sick, he was nauseous for a whole day and threw up everywhere.
I know that it's not healthy to just switch foods on a cat, but he loves it so much. At the same time, he won't eat anything else if we start feeding him the raw food. Even if we mix it in to his regular food, he won't eat it because he smells his regular food. How do I introduce the raw food to him in a way that won't make him feel sick, yet he's getting enough nutrition?
