I know some don't agree with raw feeding, but this is for those who do
I've been trying to work raw into my kitties diet for some time now, with not much luck (partly my fault, I've been inconsistant in my efforts). They won't touch the pre-made complete raw diets unless mixed with so much wet food you can hardly tell it's there. Pretty much the only thing they'll eat is REAL meat. They're currently getting a wet food diet, and I'm comfortable with this, but I know I could be doing better for them. Since I'll be feeding them meat, (and it can't be ground up either... they're so fussy!) what's the proper balance of organ/muscle/bone? I want to make sure they're getting everything they need, in proper levels. I went out today and bought beef, chicken organs, and chicken necks, and I'm looking to bag it all in "meal" sizes in the freezer, so I can just defrost and serve
Also, would it be okay to feed one wet meal and one raw meal in a day? I don't know how ready I am to switch them over completley. I know some feed raw and kibble, but you won't find kibble in my house other than for the strays.
OOH! And how do you convince kitties to eat their veggies? lol I know they need SOME carbs in their diet, but mine are difficult little buggers. Anything non-meaty and they walk away. Help? lol
Thanks so much
