Thank you for your opinion…but my cats DON’T have teeth..well they have very few. One came to us after some kind of accident and had many broken teeth that had to be pulled. The other 2 seem to have crappy genetics all around, and have had to have many teeth pulled over the years. There is NO way they could eat whole animals..none.

Your website looks very interesting, alas it is not one I encountered on my journey into raw food. Thank you for sharing it, but I’m thrilled with the results I’ve had with what I’m feeding now, and will be sticking with it and wholly endorsing it. I realize that there are many opinions out there concerning raw foods, and I’m sharing what I’ve found to be helpful.

And honestly? How practical is it to give a housecat a whole quail? Sure it might be good for them, but really? It’s not going to happen in 99 out of 100 cases. I’m pretty lenient with my cats, but am not going to be thrilled to find quail remains in the middle of my living room.

Paula, you forgot http://www.rawfedcats.org! Great site with real info on real food, how to switch cats safely, etc. Cats imprint on kibble, and the form of the food is so different from the real stuff that they often won’t recognize meat as “food”. It can take loads of patience and persistence to switch cats to raw… and some cats switch easily. You can’t starve cats into it like you can with dogs (not that you *should*, but you *can*) because they can get hepatic lipidosis – fatty liver disease – which is often fatal. Knowing how to switch cats the right way is critical, but it’s not difficult to learn. The cool thing about switching cats is that you can – and should – give them variety right away; whereas with dogs you want to introduce one protein source at a time.

Whole prey is the greatest thing! What could be easier than thawing out a quail or a mouse and handing it to your cat? No measuring, no calculating ratios, no worries about whether the meat:bone ratio is right or whether Kitty is getting enough organ meat. It’s all in there, in Nature’s perfect proportions! Your job is to get as much variety of whole prey as you can find. It’s a web hunting expedition! Flesh out your varietal offerings with prey-model foods, pieces and parts of larger animals such as pork, beef, turkey, fish, lamb, goat, and even exotic stuff such as ostrich, water buffalo, alligator and kangaroo!

You don’t need a “recipe”, you don’t need supplements or additives, you don’t need a grinder. If your cat has teeth, she needs to USE them. Cats and other carnivores just need raw whole prey and raw meaty bones; make sure they get some edible bone (small prey, chicken ribs, rabbit parts, etc.) and a side order of liver and other organs. Easy peasy. And cheap, if you’re resourceful about it! Not to mention you’ll be missing out on all those vet bills, futilely treating chronic diseases that are caused by the expensive fake food your vet sells you or recommends.

Thank you!
