Whole prey raw. As someone else posted, convenience is an issue also especially when considering feeding raw. It is probably the most inconvenient thing you can feed but not really more expensive than canned.Originally Posted by Althekitty
Hehehe, I have put quite a few posts here about food, prob driving everyone nuts! I have tried to read online about what to look for but end up getting more confused. Maybe my brain can't hope with all the info! I am not saying that money is no object to me but just to get an idea of the ideal way to feed and what! Getting a bit anxious about my decisions and I think looking for a bit of reassurance. Just wanna know how I can do my best for him.
Hello, if i could press you further, if you look here again or if anyone else knows. What would the 'whole prey raw' mean? Sorry if i sound stupid. Would I have to kill animals? What animals would they be? Mice and birds? What does it entail? I have just put down some fresh salmon to see what he thinks, surprisingly he ate a bit and walked away. He's meowing at me now, he has some biccies down so he can have those if he's hungry. Just thought I would try it. ThanksOriginally Posted by mschauer

It's not a stupid question at all. Unless you have looked into raw feeding you would have no way of knowing what it means.Originally Posted by Althekitty

It doesn't have to be time consuming either. A premade raw food, Nature's Variety for instance, is ready to use and also costs on the order of a premium wet like Wellness. If you don't have easy access to a good premade (don't assume that just because it is raw that it must be good) you can buy ground meats and add bone meal or another calcium supplement as a substitute for bone. You would need to add other supplements as well, of course. That would be more time consuming than a premade but nothing compared to grinding your own meat. One of the foods I feed is ground, organic turkey that I add liver and a premade supplement mix to.Originally Posted by Althekitty
I really am going to look into this raw food diet, it makes sense to me. I know it is time consuming in a way but like the lady says, a sick cat is time consuming too. It is expensive, investing in a grinder and supplements, but the meat is comparable with a high rate wet, she compared it to the price of Wellness but we don't get that here, i don't think anyway.
