Cats in the 6-12 month range tend to be pretty slender, and fill out a bit in the subsequent year or so and with Maine Coons that takes even longer, so if your vet isn't worried, you probably shouldn't be either.
My cats have just asked me to suggest, on their behalf, that you "try roast duckling, goose, grouse and pheasant, and perhaps some nice lobster tails as snacks."Hi all thanks for everyone's input, I'll read and reply properly later. We tried the cans of feringa from Zooplus. Even our moggy cat who will eat anything, refused it. It smelt and looked disgusting. In various flavours all the same. I bought a bunch of if stupidly and have it to our local animal shelter!
I can't see the pates say complete food. Will try though thanks columbine! Also we ordered thrive from Amazon as its out of stock everywhere else. It doesn't have the best reviews on there. The bad are really bad - mouldy black spots on chicken from 2 separate orders, mostly liquid... Still ill try it and see what they think [emoji]128578[/emoji][emoji]128578[/emoji] will check the other brands too.
Is it ok to feed organic mincemeat for humans just as is or slightly warmed? We have tried lamb and beef they love it. The 6 yr old moggy won't touch it even though he had no probs catching and eating mice and rats before we got him!! Why dya think that is?! He eats everything normally!!
Should we try minced chicken? If you can get that?! I don't eat chicken so not sure!! I read somewhere pork is bad for cats?? Why's that?
lol mad that buying organic beef mince words out cheaper per portion size than thrive canned haha!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

No, no - don't thank me. Only too happy to be of help.

Very good; they might thank you. Remember though - no gold-plated bowls, though - strictly solid 18k.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Thank you!! I'll be sure to attempt to please our fluffy beauties with those LOL!!
If they would be so gracious as to try it to see if it might be to their Royal Liking hahaha!! Nice one!! :-)
Not all cats are equally receptive to raw food, regardless of whether they've had to hunt to survive in the past. Kittens generally transition much more readily than older cats do, as they're less set in their ways and have a less fixed concept of what constitutes food.Thanks for the advice about minced meat. Ok will stop that. Why do you think the moggy cat won't eat it when the kittens have done? when the moggy cat was eating rats and mice?!
Yes our youngest Mojo seemed like he was brought up on raw food he loves it. The other kitten Mia who is a year old now had rubbish food growing up it seemed, felix adult cat food which is shit anyway, as a kitten... they both loved the raw mince before I read your post saying there might be too much bacteria in it. They've lapped it up so far! But Angel the oldest still wouldn't even see it as food as you said !! super interesting....Not all cats are equally receptive to raw food, regardless of whether they've had to hunt to survive in the past.

When I tried raw, my girl would eat it provided I'd coated it in enough yummy toppers (I had to roll little balls in crumbled freeze dried treats or even pulverised kibble to get her to consider it), but my old boy wouldn't even look at it - it simply didn't register as food with him!
