As long as you know what you are doing when it comes to feeding raw, I personally think it's a great way to go. You can buy commercial raw that is 100% nutritionally complete, or you can just buy the meat and add a pre-mix to it to make it complete. But what you should NOT do is just feed meat alone. That is not nutritionally complete. Also, I don't recommend buying the meat from a grocery store, but rather from a community B.A.R.F. group, or Hare Today or somewhere like that. Grocery store chicken is usually "enhanced" with added sodium, which is not good. If you happened to feed the kitten a piece of meat with bones in it right now, say a chicken wing, you might need to smash it with something to break up the bones in it until the kitten's permanent teeth come in.
