Raw Meat?
Hey,
What's your opinions about feeding raw meat to your cats, as I saw that '**sozzy**' gave lamb to one of her cats? Suggestions, cautions and tales would be great! sham126 http://community.webshots.com/user/sham126a |

I used to cut up beef kidneys for my Burmese a good many years ago. They liked it, but I didn't. But it was never their primary food - only a supplement.

My two boys get trimmings from the cutting board on a regular basis.

My cat also is frequently successful in making the dog back down from her meaty-bone dinner, and thus has been known to make headway on turkey necks, chicken backs, chicken thighs, pork brisket, beef necks...etc. He enjoys chicken hearts, but isn't much into other offal. I think I've tricked him into eating liver a few times. He gets bits of canned fish, the occasional raw egg yolk, basically any protein-rich snack I care to offer him. I also gave my 6 week old foster kitten a chicken wing every other day or so while I had her. She LOVED it! I'd feed my guys a raw diet in a heartbeat if my husband would let me give meaty bones to his cat. -Alison in OH |

I'm a bit leery of raw pork tho' as it can carry trichinosis worms. An ugly little parasite that causes muscle cyts. Kitties love raw egg yolks, especially duck egg yolks! They are richer than chicken yolks. My vet told me to be careful with eggwhites, so I don't give them that part of the egg. We had one older kitty dying of metastatic breast cancer who would not eat well. She adored raw emu so we fed her LOTS of that to help her keep her weight up until the end. :-( No, she did not appear to be in any pain or we'd have had her put to sleep. Just weak and thin. Cancer is not fun. :-( Stormy actually lived to be about 15. Fortunately emu is not hard to get here in Texas, even now. I got lots of it for free if I was willing to work for it. I can't think why raw meat would be bad as long as it's nice and fresh. :-) K. -- ^,,^ Cats-haven Hobby Farm ^,,^ ^,,^ "There are millions of intelligent species in the universe, and they are all owned by cats" -- Asimov Custom handcrafts, Sterling silver beaded jewelry http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAP...s&userid=katra |

I'd feed my guys a raw diet in a heartbeat if my husband would let me give meaty bones to his cat. I guess I'm lucky. My husband helps me feed our cats a raw diet.
