Hi,
From the discussion on this forum, and after reading this article (http://felineinstincts.com/dontworryaboutsalmonellawhenfeedingrawtoyourcats/) I now know that raw food is the best for cats. This is how God created them.
But I have a concern, when my cat eats raw food (which has loads of bacteria which cat GI tract can handle well) and the licks himself or licks me, or bite things in the place, won't that be a way for transmitting bacteria to us?
I'm a bit careless, I let my cat lick my face, bite my pillows, sniff and lick my dish while I'm eating.
So if I feed him raw, would that be safe for me? I don't want my surfaces contaminated with things that could make me or other people sick.
Another question,
when feeding raw, what is the longest time you can keep raw food outside?
Thank you.
