i do not believe it is good for the kittykitties because i subscribe to the theory that animals are built in order to eat a certain way.  kitty cats are built to tear into meats.

that's just what i believe though. 

Hi FreedomB, I would like to read the Raw Pets section. Can you give me the link. The other thing, is there a search engine on this site to locate specific articles on the forum.

my cat is a proud raw cat!

a raw MEAT EATING cat!

Those sharp fangs, those sharp claws, the short digestive track, the harsh stomach acids, the killer instincts... positively scream OBLIGATE CARNIVORE!

Personally I think it is one of the cruellest things to do to sacrifice an animal's true needs to honour one's own ethics... if your ethics are that strong... get another kind of animal whose biological needs reflect your ethics!

Just as we raw vegans know we can never be truly healthy without lots of the foods we're designed for - ie raw fruits and vegies - so too should we respect that our furry friends cannot be truly healthy without lots of the foods they're designed for!

I feed my kitty a mixture of pork, chicken, beef and fish, chicken wings for her teeth and organ meats like chicken hearts and livers. Do I like the meat? No, it's gross. But hey, I wanted a cat! I consider my duty.

Did you find that people with allergies are less allergic to raw cats? We had a friend staying with us who were allergic to cats and was surprised that she did not suffer any attack. Great stuff!

We do not feed the girls exclusively raw but The Pauper enjoyed stealing Dan's chicken from the cutting board so much he gives her a small dish each time he has it. Raw meat is the only food she doesn't "hunt"- she stalks her dry food and tosses it around the kitchen. She doesn't seem to care for raw fish unless it has a chance to dry out first. We give it to her just like the chick but she watches it for a few days then eats it up. Any top-notch books out there for raw cats? Cheetahs are my fave big cats- i would love a body like that! So graceful and determined.

When i was younger, i spent a summer in MN at the lake. There was a family of feral cats who adopted me. The queen was preg and adored laying in my lap being loved on. Her trust brought the trust of her current litter- originally, they'd run off into the brush when i came around. The last member of the family was a tom w/1 ear. The other appeared to have been lost to frostbite. His trust took the longest to gain. @ the x, i was a veg and animal rights nazi but, because of that gorgeous family, i found myself down lakeside fishing. As soon as the perch were off the hook, they'd be carried- or dragged, in the case of the kittens- to be eaten. It got to the point that all would come running when i walked out the house! The best vacation ever.

For anyone in Sydney who wants to swap their cats and dogs onto raw meat but doesn’t want to actually touch and cut up the meat themselves, here is the link for an organic natural pet food company who does raw meat and vegetable mixtures:

I have not tried them yet but will, as their products look very good and very natural.
