I know the vitamin you mean but don't know where it can be bought.
Duplicating a cats natural diet with raw meat would be difficult as they
eat the entire carcass.


Yes.....I don't feed them raw meat.....It's usually at least partially
cooked.....But chicken is cheap. Sometimes cheaper than cat food. So you
might as well feed it to them. We have a feral male who seldom eats
anything else. I first attracted him into my house by feeding him roasted
chicken....


My cats do get cooked chicken once a week but it's not a balanced diet since
it doesn't contain the entrails which cats eat in nature. To get the entire
chicken carcass one must raise their own chickens (or buy mice at the pet
shops) and be willing to slaughter them. I couldn't do that.
