Anyone feeding raw/ homemade ?

[rentuna]

Hi!
I'm curious if anyone is feeding raw and/or homemade diet for their cats ?
Also curious about this type of feeding for kittens !
Thank you in advance

Yes, we have an entire sub-forum dedicated to raw and homemade feeding. It's here: Raw & Home-Cooked Cat Food

I feed a mix of raw and wet food to one of mine. The other cat started refusing raw and homemade so now is strictly on wet food.

I know there are people who immediately start their kittens on raw...they know nothing else.

As long as you are confident in the balance of the food you are feeding, it’s fine to feed raw foods to kittens whenever they show an interest in solid foods. The key is to feed several meals a day (at least 4), and let them eat as much as they want. Expect that amount to increase as they grow, of course.

Once they get closer to their teenage size, you can guage how much they eat in a day and level off the portions accordingly. Even then, they will still have a good appetite!
Re-evaluate their portions again when they get to full adult size. Depending on size and activity level, some cats may actually eat less at that point.

Yes! I am a passionate advocate of raw, and my girl Misa is fed primarily raw with a bit of wet food as the occasional treat!
