Does anyone feed their cat this food? The Raw Boost one?

I am wondering if that could be the reason why my cat acts out so much. It gives him superman powers I feel like. Like as if he was a wild cat.

Bumping this in the hopes you can get some more replies. Nature's Variety isn't available in the UK, so I'm afraid I can't help you.

Are you referring to NV's dry kibble with raw boost bites? If so, the moderator should move this post to the other forum where you may receive some replies.

If you are referring to the frozen raw or NV's freeze dried meal food, raw fed cats usually have more energy on these diets, they are easier to digest, higher protein and generally less fillers.

I have fed the dry with raw boost before and didn't notice any behavioral changes. I typically feed either NV's Pride line of dry or their LID Turkey or the regular chicken formula. Haven't noticed anything unusual. (I work for a rescue so between personal cats and those in the rescue we're talking about 65+ cats.)

Can you give a little more information about your cat...What food were you feeding before? How old is your cat? What specific behaviors are you seeing?

If you have recently switched to NV from a lower quality food, I could certainly see where your cat could have more energy/feel better overall.

I just started feeding that to some of my kittens/foster kittens in their rotation. Nothing really unusual in terms of behavior. Although my kittens were total terrors this morning, but they're 6 months old, so that's just expected.

I'm not sure what you mean?  I feed my boys NV and they seem like normal happy cats.   They do go nuts for NV Raw however.
