I don't see what's wrong with raw food..
I have had cats for over 6 years now. And I progressively got better at managing their diets. They weren't picky eaters anyway, until Athena came along. The sweetest, most timid creature I have ever met. I rotated several types of diet. I'm from Pakistan so 90% cat food options over here are not at all grade-A. What people in the West would probably consider a decent diet is considered gourmet by most pet parents here. 10 days ago in the kitchen she begged for chicken with teeny tiny meows and I gave her a piece, then two. I was at my family home and when we ran out of kibble the next day I thought instead of bad quality kibble at the local store I'll feed her some boiled chicken and get her kibble when I go back. And then out of sheer laziness I fed her raw chicken breast and thigh instead of boiling it. SHE ATE THE ENTIRE PLATE. Never in her little over a year of existence has she done that WITH ANY WET OR DRY FOOD. I was impressed. She has been around 3-3.5kg mostly and her weight would always concern me. And now she eats with such interest, and actually wakes me up in the morning begging for more food. Nothing gives me more joy than watching her empty the plate. Today is the 10th day and I introduced chicken neck, a tiny piece of liver and a chicken heart. She ate the chicken heart first. Not fond of bones apparently but I am thinking of preparing egg shells for her.
Though we don't have any raw pet food brands here, I do have the advantage of finding butchers who sell organic chicken/eggs and I can practically buy her food fresh daily from the butcher. I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS RELAXED ABOUT HER DIET BEFORE. I took her to the vet today for a regular checkup and he isn't happy I am switching her to raw. 10 days ago I would agree, but obsessive researching since then has me questioning whether the pet/vet industry cares about pets at all. I see the most unhealthy kibble at pet supplies section of vet clinics all the time. I'm just happy my eyes are finally open and I am feeding my cat the best food I can, the best way I can.
