I've been feeding my 3 cats the raw food for over a year and they are doing

great and absolutely love it. (although at first they looked at me like

" what??? you think we're going to eat that? what IS IT?? " One actually went

on a bit of a hunger strike, so I combined with a tsp. of canned food lightly

stirred in at the beginning.

For about the first 3 months i was cooking the grains and chopping the

veggies... after that I found out about Sojourner's Farms and now it's so

much easier. They sell a dry mix that has all the human-grade grains mix and

kelp and other stuff.. You rehydrate it by soaking with water, then mix with

the raw meat. I also add the Healthy Powder, which is the same recipe as you

listed but has kelp powder also. It's from Dr. Pitcairn's Natural Health for

cats and Dogs book. I make up 2 days at a time, and have containers in the

freezer with the meat for 2 days. Yeah, it's more trouble than pouring kibble

into a bowl but it's worth it... And I'm a vegetarian, so of course I'd

rather not deal with the meat.... But I'm convinced it's the way to go, and

so I go to what extra trouble it is, and will probably save time and money

down the road on vet bills...

Soujourner's web site is www.sojos.com

Jody, cats are the ultimate carnivores. They do better without *any*

grains. Commercial pet food (??!?) companies need to add grains to the

artificial food so it can be extruded into cute shapes. They don't even need

veggies. They do great with just chopped raw meat.

 

You guessed it.....I'm from BARF!!

Carnivores like cats normally eat small herbivores like mice or

small birds with veggies & grains inside their guts. I suspect they need

some greens & veggies. I know I have had cats go wild on wheat grass.
