First of all, I apologize in advance if my question turns out to be trivial, I don't know very much about cat nutrition or raw feeding.
I was looking through the online Catster articles when I came across one about therapy cats. Not that I thought Charlie could be certified (he doesn't like being handled very much), but I was just curious what therapy cat training entailed. Most of the requirements made sense (cats have to be calm, amenable to handling, get along with other animals, be leash and harness trained), but the one thing that I was confused about was that the article said, "there are less obvious things, like cats who eat a raw protein diet not being eligible to participate." I was just wondering if anyone has an idea of why this might be there case, it just seems really random.
