Raw Food For Cats


The first week of switching our cats over to raw food is succesfully accomplished. Or well, Moll Poll still has some doubts which kind of surprised us. Molly was the one that we found in the old stable. We think that someone had thrown her out of the car. The people that run the stable already had a cat there and talked about shooting the black and white kitten so of course we took her home. I thought that Molly had eaten mice and other animals before so she would adjust easier to the raw food diet, but nope, she did not. We are almost there though. You just have to try all kind of different meat to find out what they prefer.
Charly our little hoodlum grew up on chunkfood. He was never outside and never hunted or ate any real meat, except some flies and spiders he kills by squishing them with his nose. He was the one that started to eat the raw meat immediately and gets very excited about it. Also he eats all meat, no matter what we serve him.
We decided to switch them over because it didn´t feel right to feed them all that poisonous junk you can buy in the supermarket, at the vet or in the pet store.
When we lived in Canada they would have a huge selection of raw food for cats but unfortunatelly not over here - yet.
We only buy organic meat to them of course, everything else would just feel wrong again.
It still does kind of feel strange though, thinking about that we both are vegeterians, well Shawn is to 100% and mostly only eats raw food anyway. I stil can have an occassional burger when we are out though.
Now I only wish I could switch Milva over to hay instead of poisonous silage. Oh well, as soon as we have our own farm....

  1. Kolla bara så att de får i sig Taurin för utan det blir de snabbt sjuka. Tidigare fanns det en Påarp som fixat kött till djur. Fisk är bra för katter men mina vill ha det gillar och gärna kryddat.
