Raw cat food, good or bad.

[Kronos]

Anyone feed your cat (s) raw cat food? If where do you buy it or do you make your own? If so what recipe do use use.

I recently got a rescued cat and the only information on her is that she is 2 and a half years old and belonged to an elderly lady who sadly died. I would imagine that there was not much play involved as Millie is a very laid back, or one could call it lazey so consequently she is putting on weight.

I have been doing a lot of research on cat foods and I tend not to buy the proprietary brands fom the supermarkets. I tend to use Zooplus as they have an excellent choice, keen prices, cheap delivery and reasonable customer service.

But I have come to the conclusion that raw food would be far better option than her current 50/50 wet and dry food she gets now. Better for weight control and overall health.

Any advice suggestions would be welcome.

This should be in the big kitty thread.

I disagree as questions can and do get lost under pictures of cute kittens, I know as I have posted a question on more than one occasion without an answer.

i used to feed my cat Feringa from zooplus. It has one of the highest meat contents of any car food.

Its expensive, would cost maybe £60 a month for cat food so we had to stop. Plus it stinks

If you just get some good dry food it will not make any difference to the cat. My cat will only eat Purina dry food. Tried lots of different but he don't touch it.


Other makes to look for: Applaws, almo.

It does make a difference according to all the research I have done. dry food is not natural. The recent excellent series on cats touch on cat food and by far the healthiest cats were the farm cats who hunted for their food. Even my vet has told me reduce the amount of dried food. I am currently using Eukanuba light dry food and Hull science plan light at the moment but I feel she could eat better and her food be more beneficial.
