I know most raw feeders believe that once you switch to raw, raw should be the only food fed to cats. I'm wondering if anyone here feeds a combination of canned and raw, dry and raw or canned, dry and raw?
I can't switch over completely because my food processor is small and even the 2 pound recipe won't last long if I don't also include commercial cat food. Plus if I ever have to rely on a pet sitter I don't know of any pet sitter willing to feed raw which means I have to have my cats used to commercial cat food too.
Also I sometimes think it would be easier for me if I just buy ground meat so I don't have to use my food processor all the time but I've read about the fact the ground meat in grocery stores contains more bacteria than chicken breasts and thighs because the surface bacteria has been ground into the meat and then it sits in the refrigerated shelf as opposed to being frozen. But if it's safe to feed ground meat, that will be easier for me.
Rosie ate a whole meal of raw today flavored with tuna water since right now that's the only way she'll eat it and Spotty had his first taste of raw today(the tuna water convinced him too).

) and give it a few hours apart from the raw
They look at me like, "where's the other stuff"??
