Raw Food Diet > Raw Food as a Toothbrush

Princess Pterodactyl Cat     Purred: Sat Oct 13, '12 3:11pm PST  Thank you for your fast responses. I had considered switching my cat to raw because Princess is now 10 and has recently had to have a tooth cleaning, apparently raw diet is much better for their teeth because they're using them in a more natural way and on food which isn't loaded with crap. It sounds like it would be better to take the approach of feeding raw/wet rather than rat/kibble. My cat can sometimes get the runs if she's had too much wet food, though... do you think the same thing could happen with raw/wet? my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become friends [notify]

Princess Pterodactyl Cat     Purred: Fri Oct 12, '12 12:41am PST  Hi All, Please forgive me if this has already been answered elsewhere: Right now I am feeling quite selfish about my cat's diet. I want the pros of Raw Meaty Bones (cat version) diet, but I still want to be able to fall back to the convenience of pellets-and-packet food should the need arise. For example, we currently feed all the cats 1/2 sachet of wet food and basically free feed through toys, cat pellets (Royal Caine). I'd like to be able to replace the sachet of wet food with a thawed chick or some other raw life like prey. Or cut up beef or whatever. I have been testing the waters somewhere ineffectively with the cats by offering them slices of salmon, raw chicken and cooked prawns if I'm cooking (the rats already get this so it isn't an issue offering more) and the cats seem interested. I dunno, my question I guess is whether the raw diet is an all or nothing kind of affair If what I'm suggesting seems fesible And do you have any cat-raw-diet specific links that I can look at? my posts | my page | msg me | gift me | become friends [notify]
