Has anyone tried to feed the BARF ( Bones and raw foods) to kittys?? My cats wouldn't touch it. I BARF feed my dogs and decided to try with the cats as well, but it did not go over well!

Has anyone tried to feed the BARF ( Bones and raw foods) to kittys?? My cats eat a homemade raw diet. They've been on it for approximately 3 1/2 years and are doing really great on it. If you do decide to try it with your cats, I would recommend really doing your research to feed a properly balanced diet. It's not rocket science, but cats do have some very specific nutritional needs. I have a link in my sig for more info if you're interested.

Yes, it has been discussed at length in this group. I think that the
general consensus of opinion is that the diet is fine but plenty of research is required prior to proceeding and there is a lot more work (preparation/shopping etc) involved than you might imagine if you are going to really give the cat a balanced diet. It is definately a lot more work than just buying a can of cat food off the shelf The cat that I had as a child / teenager was always fed raw food and she lived to be approx. 18. For years I always assumed that that was what all cats ate but with the benefit of hindsight (and after reading some of the previous posts with regard to this subject) I can see that we lived in a very rural setting and I suppose she supplemented her diet with mice / birds etc in addition to what we fed her. I think on balance, in our case, it was probably more luck than judgement. Jeannie "GreyTabbyLover" wrote in message ... Has anyone tried to feed the BARF ( Bones and raw foods) to kittys?? |
