Hi everyone!

I'm Lise, I'm French, and I've been reading posts here for 4 or 5 days now, so I figured it was time to step out of the shadows.

I've stumbled upon this site while searching for information on Raw diets for my cat, Sparrow.

Here's little bit about him :

Sparrow is around 4 years old, I got him a year ago.

He's a rescue, and was living outside for some time (no idea how much).

And he's just awesome! My avatar is a pic of him taken last year by his foster family, right before I adopted him.

He's neutered, tattooed (like me!), and in good health.

He's also on a kibble diet (bought from the vet), on an "all-day free buffet".

Well, he was, until 3 days ago...

I switched him to timed meals, and right now he's looking at me like I haven't fed him for weeks... That's one of his strong suits actually, looking so cute that you almost forget why you didn't want to give him that little bit of extra tuna in the first place...

After finding lots of info on raw diets (all in english, everything I found in French was about BARF, which doesn't interest me), I decided to do it.

So, Frankenprey, here we come!

Glad to have you here on TCS Lyzzie. Think you are doing a good thing. I am considering doing the same. Please keep us informed of Sparrow's progress.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm glad to have found all of you too!

@Boney Girl Dad I will make a thread once I'm starting Sparrow on his raw diet.

@Kat0121 Yes, I have pictures, lots of them!!

Here's some, and I'm gonna make a page for him soon.

Thanks @Kat0121 & @KittyPa

I just gave him his first all raw meal, chicken, and he loved it! I'm gonna work on the meal plan and make a new thread for it.

He was so cute!

I have an old boy that looks like he could be a litter-mate,  what do you call this breed?   locally he is just a tabby cat....  by the way do you give French lessons?  I was living in Villefranche Sur-Mer  in my years in the U.S. Navy.    I wish I would have tuned into learning French back then, but the interests of youth prevailed.      Keep us posted on your diet results,  It seems to me that cats love a variety in their diet.  My boy wants a taste of anything that I am eating, spaghetti, flan ect.
