Human meat for cats?
On vet's advice I've changed Milo to an all-can diet. But I wonder about giving him some real meat as a treat, because the canned food isn't chewy. So -- pros and cons of real meat or shellfish as an occasional treat? And if okay, raw or cooked? -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

My first thought: don't do it, it will give them ideas. |

Human meat for cats?
So -- pros and cons of real meat or shellfish as an occasional treat? And if okay, raw or cooked? IMO I would stay away from any seafood. It can be an allergen and it's not something cats would eat in the wild. Boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks, is something I give my cats on occasion. You can cook it (plain) or give it raw. Use organic meat if possible so it doesn't have any additives, etc. Rabbit is another option (organic if possible, also), raw or cooked. Do NOT give raw pork. There's a risk of pork having trichinosis (sp?) and passing it along to the cats. Another option is to buy chicken Liv-a-Littles, which are freeze-dried chicken breasts. Most cats LOVE them. |

So -- pros and cons of real meat or shellfish as an occasional treat? And if okay, raw or cooked? We recently lost our eldest, Ripley, to diabetes. He was 16, and in the last months all he would eat was chicken. My wife bought those roasted chickens from the grocery deli and chopped them up just for him. When I was a kid, my mother had a cat who would eat nothing but cooked calves liver. When we did foster care for a rescue group, we used the cheapest, stinkiest canned salmon we could find to acclimate scared or feral newcomers. Not good as a steady diet, as I've been told it leaches calcium out of their bones, but great for getting a scared kitty to trust you. |

I've had kitties go for blood while in attack mode, but I'm not about to go on a murder spree just to keep them fed. Let them hunt humans on their own! |

The only thing I would advise is no raw pork products or the flealines may end up with worms and you with a vet bills. |
