My Wonton eats dry in the morning and wet at night, and if he needs a midnight snack it's usually a bit of dry. I've noticed people talking about raw feeding here. Now, I already know that I don't have the time to totally switch to a complete raw diet..but if there are health benefits to my cat eating raw meat, I'd like to feed it to him a few times a week. Would that be ok-would it still have some health benefits? What exactly ARE the health benefits? Are there any good websites about this? Will he take a while to get used to it? One time my friend's cat was over, and my bf and I were making shrimp dumplings. I had a big bowl of raw shrimp, and Sarah was SO interested. So I thought cat. shrimp. Should be natural, right? I tossed her a shrimp and she wolfed it down, and I smiled at her and gave her a scritch. Five minutes later she started doing the "oof, oof" retching sound, and sure enough, up came one partially chewed shrimp. I admit to being a bit bewildered (and I felt like an arse - I didn't know it would make her tummy feel bad
). Since then I've never given a cat anything raw.
Any info at all would be good. Wonton is overweight, and I"m trying to get him healthier, and that includes modifications to his diet. My bf half-jokingly just said "are you sure you want to feed him raw meat? he's going to turn into a straight-up predator!". so, for his own piece of mind-feeding a cat raw meat won't make it more aggressive, will it?
thanks for any and all info
