Hello,
My kitty has been exclusively raw-fed since he was very young. He would wolf down a wingtip from a chicken in minutes. I usually feed him ground whole prey, with boneless chunks added in. Once a week, he gets a chicken neck or wingtip. For the past few weeks, he has been refusing to eat larger chunks of meat. I have to cut them into smaller pieces or he leaves them behind. As for wingtips, he ignores them or plays with them and makes a mess, but does not eat them. He has no dental problems that I can see, and his vet was impressed with the state of his teeth and gums at his last checkup.
Any ideas? Should I be cutting the wingtip into smaller pieces? I have been leaving it whole or at most cutting it in half, for fear of creating a choking hazard.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
