Hi everyone! Something I also do is heat up the plate in the microwave for ~30 seconds (JUST the clean, empty plate alone) to make the surface of it warm before putting the food on. This helps a lot and I recommend it in addition to the water, to ensure the food is at least room temperature or even slightly warm WHILE staying raw. For those asking, this does NOT cook the food as that would defeat the purpose.. It just warms it up from being fridge-chilled ;) Also, remember to check out my cat stuff playlist for a ton more videos (including one actually using the scale I talk about here because I bought a new one! Yay!) I hope these videos help and thank you so much for watching 😻

Oh good idea! I'm starting to transition my adult cat to raw and I just started so I grabbed a zip lock bag but warm it up but like she said using these zip locks and throwing them away twice or 3 times a day is a waste! Gonna go get a jar! Thank you.
I’m a new subbie & been considering a raw diet for awhile. Your recipe for making it as well as how to warm it up are so much easier then I was anticipating!! Wow!! My 10 rescues are going to soon get to try this!!
your videos are awesome I love the way you show everything you put in the food , the brand's and amounts. Thanks so much.
Puppy loves your cooking. I watched to see how you warm it up for him. He makes sure you don't have too much washing up to do.
Thank you for taking care of this cat. Such heaven ❤
I freeze the food in glass jars. I feed 3 cats twice a day, so I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup with a handle to measure the amount my cats will eat in one meal, which is about 3 ounces each. I immerse the whole measuring cup in a saucepan with 2 inches of warm tap water, heat the water to boiling and stir the food until it's slightly above room temperature. This takes about 2 or 3 minutes and works great when the food is still slightly frozen, too. The pyrex cup washes up quickly and I've used absolutely no plastic.

Your idea sounds great. I plan on freezing the raw food in 4oz Ball canning jars and maybe just immerse the jar in the boiling water, although I also like the idea of adding warm water to the food as cats need all the water they can get, especially my cat who's had urinary issues.
I love all these tips! It really helps me decide what I need to get for my kitten
Your cat is a good witness! ❤️
Your awesome 👏 I’m going to soon now my own raw diet!! Will be watching your videos for ideas :)
You may warm up just the dish on boiling water... and place the food ... wait a little bit till the dish gets colder and serve it.
i got 2 cats and your videos are really helpful, subbed!

Hi! Just came across your video, I am a bottle feeder for kittens w/ a westchester co,NY cat rescue. My husband & i have spend a lot of money on trying to feed our fosters the best food(While saving the rescue group money in buying Friskies cans). My husband has made several attempts making homemade food for our fosters, They seems to tire out on the cooked food (chicken livers,hearts etc), do not take too nice on his food :(. So he put me to search for recipes He can make for them. Then I found you. Your videos are very well done, nothing difficult,-wanna thank you for that. Have passed it on to my husband to check out, Thank you for caring to do the best for your baby & for those who care about felines. Also funny thing I have a foster kitty, 1 1/2 years old that recently returned to us. The same markings & color of Puppy -amazing! My foster kitty’s name is lovely. Shalom.
Love your kitty! I use a glass pie pan and put hot water in it and set my cats plate in the water. Takes about a minute :) It's never a bad idea to add moisture anyway so it can work both ways!
Absolutely love this! Sometimes I think people forget a cats "background" is carnivore. Cute cat❤❤
Awesome video, thank you!

You and I share something in common....cats....I'm cat lady in Louisiana.....names Deja....I love your video I learn a great deal from you....
I sandwich a damp washcloth between two plates and nuke it for about 50 secs. The top plate is now a warming plate. Just put the food on the top plate and stir it around. The warm cloth underneath keeps the top plate from getting cold too quickly and you can usually get the food close to room temperature this way without fussing with boiling water, and much quicker than floating a container of food in warm water. It's the quickest method I've found, yet.

Hi there! I think he was saying he just warms up the empty plates in the microwave without the food on them. And then, place the cold food on the warmed up plates to allow the food to warm up that way after it is mixed around a bit. Hope that clarifies! :) (I agree microwaves kind of suck as a means to heat up actual food). And thanks for watching!!

Yes! Let me know if that does the trick!
Excellent technique! A+++++ Plus anytime you can get cats to take in more water, it's very good for them!!! 😸
another thing to try (though it is more work like you said) is using reusable ziploc bags! my little girl has FIV so she gets goats milk and an immunity booster as a hydrator with each meal instead of water so she has her own little baggie at my house that i use. i have a silicone ice tray that i use to portion out her goats milk and immunity booster in the freezer so i throw one of those cubes in and her food from the fridge and in 4 minutes while i just get everything put away and cleaned it’s ready to go!
I noticed that the hot water kind of cooked the meat a little bit, which made me feel a bit better about the raw food. I think I like Dr. Pierson's partially cooked method, at least until I get used to feeding raw food, and see how they do with it.
Yep, I learned that with my first kitty. No plastic bowls! He had chin acne from that. Switched to ceramic. He still got a little bit. Then, something I didn't even think of until a friend on thecstsite told me. Take up his plastic placemat. Yep, that helped! Guess it was the PBA's in the plastic! 😬
Thank you for the tips! It was super cute that your cat kept trying to start the meal before the filming was over LOL Did you prepare the food and keep it in the freezer? How do you defrost it every time? I am trying to help my cats transition to a raw diet but they don't seem interested. They'd refuse to eat or just lick off the tuna paste (i used to make the new diet more tempting but to no avail) and leave the rest untouched.
You are right about the acne. My flame-point siamese kitten (i think he will looks like Puppy when he gets a bit older), used to get the black sticky spots around his mouth and nose. Now after I switched from a bowl to a plate, I don't see the black spots anymore.

Hi, thank u for your video and i've subbed! I was wondering if pouring hot water onto the food would degrade the taurine, vit B, vit E and the salmon oil you've put in? I am new to making my own cat's food and chose to make it cooked as a start. I've not bought all the vitamins yet and am fretting over how to warm up the food with them mixed into the food later. Right now, without vitamins mixed in, I've done the same as you, pouring hot water over the food. Thank u so much!
Tip that might work better for some cats. I used to warm up my cat’s raw food like this, but then I moved and didn’t have that electric kettle anymore. Apartment came with a microwave, which I’m not a huge fan of, but has become handy when warming up food. Since transitioning my cat to raw food I’ve had to entice her with dried salmon treats on top. I recently discovered that if I warm up the food more than I had before she eats it without the salmon! I pour a little bit of water on the food, place in microwave for 6 seconds, mix, 6 more seconds, mix and 4 or 5 more seconds. Doing it in intervals like this and mixing it keeps it from cooking and it warms it up nicely to where she doesn’t wait for the treats and leaves the plate cleaner than she used to. I recommend this for cats that might be ignoring the raw food or maybe leaving some behind.
After watching your video a year ago I also feed my two Ragdolls a raw diet. Your such an inspirational person. Ps: I heat my cold meat for my kitties by microwaving the plate for 60 seconds then spreading out the raw food until it's just right for them to eat.

I usually heat up a small bowl in the microwave and keep mixing unil the food is warm (this usually takes a minute or two).
Can you do a video of how to make smaller batches or what to do if you don't have fridge or freezer space to store batches of raw food? My fridge does not stay colder than 40 degrees so things spoil pretty fast. Overnight is the longest something will stay good. My freezer in turn regularly gets to thawing temperature before it freezes everything so I deal with a lot of either freezer burn or frost crystals that form from the moisture of a just barely thawed freezer. I could maybe freeze it in portions, but I also have very limited space. It's an RV fridge. What are your feelings on the raw food sellers?
Hi! I like your videos. I was wondering if you could advise on how to introduce cats that are used to eat dry and canned food (mine) into a raw diet? Also, my cats are much smaller (~4kg) and they usually leave some food to have it later during the day. Yet since the raw food can go bad quickly I would like to hear what to do in this regard. Thanks in advance!
Hi, do you have a recipe for healthy homemade cat treats? Thanks
Bone broth is excellent as well.
Hi there, how long can you keep the thawed food in the fridge?
I have a question for you, since I'm feading three cats they will go through a whole container in a day. One from the freezer is always swapped out for the newly emptied one (leaving two in the fridge all the time). My problem is that a day in the fridge is not enough time for the second container to dethaw by the time it's needed. What should I do?
Nothin about how you made that food !! O we have to see another video ?
I'm getting a 2-month-old kitten from a breeder that is feeding her dry/ wet food. what should I do about the transition? and how many tbs should i give her each meal? should I worry about anything wrong that might happen??
That little amount of the water won’t warm it up, I always use my finger to feel after I mix it, also the hot water cooked the food😂
To grind the bones in the raw cat food, can you use a food processor? Or only a high end blender?
Hi, great video thanks....quick question. I have 24 house cats andninwamt to bring them over to raw.....but some only like cooked.....once made...coukd i steam a few portions too?

Question? Doesn’t he get tired of the same meal every day? I love your videos! You do a great job, I’m thinking of switching to raw from canned for my 4 but they don’t like the same flavors all the time. I’m always rotating cans everyday 3x a day.

My cat is 15 years old and she has an overactive thyroid and she only eats wet cat food but I’m thinking of switching to a raw food diet. Do you think I should add any other specific supplements to it? Or any natural remedies for her thyroid? Her meds make her sick.
I think I have been too paranoid, but how serious are people with washing things, using separate utensils, using gloves, etc when handling raw meat? If I wash my hands with warm water and soap and clean areas should I be fine or are there other precautions I should be taking?
Question: If you serve the raw cat food in a metal bowl, couldn't you just put the metal bowl in warm/hot water (obiously not to the point where it pours over the bowl's edge) and just let it sit for a while? Should simmulate the plastic bag, without the waste. Might work with a ceramic bowl aswell but I imagine that would take longer as the bowl wouldn't heat up as fast... Or if you have a ceramic bowl, would an option be to put hot/boiling water in the bowl, let the bowl get hot, put the food in, and basically let the food heat while the bowl cools?
You can try to put the food in a zip bag and put it for a little bit of Time into hot water
Literally every British household has one of those kettles. It's weird if you don't have one. 😂
I add water to my cats raw food anyway. Smart to use a hot water pot. My cat doesn’t seem to care if the food is warm or cold. Lol. She just loves her food. But I did add hot water one time cuz the food was still slightly frozen. My cats food plates are old saucers who’s cup broke from my moms cupboards. Easy to keep them clean and my cat finds it easier to lick the plate clean than a bowl.
You must have ESP, because when you "Liked" my comment I was searching about gelatin benefits for the kitties.

cats don't need vegetables or fruits, raw meat alone won't cut it, i suggest you go to catinfo.org blog to read the full recipe (someone pointed out above that 80% raw meat + 10% uncooked bone + 10% organs = 100% balanced diet) I'm personally feeding my cat raw muscle meat mixed with Raw Meow Mix powder, you can check out pre-mix packages like TC Feline as well if grinding meat is too much of a hassle for your furry buddy!
I love your vids, Jasmine, but this one is too problematic. Pouring boiling, or even very warm, water directly onto the raw is going to cook the food, and will also not be adequate to warm it. It seems Puppy has got used to this, but it's not a method to share with others. There are great tips in comments for warming the raw, and putting the plate over a "water bath" of very hot water would be the way to go, as it would warm from underneath. Also Puppy needs feeding 3x a day -- 2 x 4oz meals is not enough!
I do the same for canned wet food (grain free, low carb and meat-based) right now. Then I'm transitioning my cats to raw food. They've forever been having kibble and after the death of my 11 year old cat due to kidney failure, my research led me to raw cat food as the healthiest best food for them.

Hi 96150coconut! I would suggest against keeping and re-feeding any prepared or served raw food, simply to avoid any chance of introducing bacteria to it. If your cat's appetite fluctuates that greatly, try using the portion calculator on CatLadyFitness.com and going with the lower recommended percentage and then monitor your cats weight and behavior to see if he/she maintains an ideal weight (and finishes each meal). You can adjust the serving size or even feeding frequency from there :) hope that helps!

Yes that helped and thanks for the quick response. I learned from your great videos that I have been doing it wrong all this time. I would put out a lot of food in the morning, what she didn't eat I would put back in the fridge, then when she looked hungry again I would take it beck out. I would do this like 6 times a day. (definitely controlled by my little girl...lol) not to mentioned I didn't heat the food up. So this morning for the first time, I put the correct portion for her in her shallow bowl/plate, stirred in hot water and set it down. She ate the whole thing in 2 min, looked up at me, gave my a wink then went out to play. Actually watching more of your vids as we speak. So thanks again for your great and helpful site.

Youd be surprised, the food weighs more than it looks (I always thought so too!) for the 3.5 or so ounces he gets - I actually re-purchased the scale recently and have a video coming out next week showing how to use it/measure for the recipe and meals 😻😻 stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. How much do we give our cat?

Dry cat food is possibly the worst thing you can feed to a cat. Over the years I've had four cats come down with a urinary problem with dry cat food and their main food was wet food. Never again.
Why do u need to grind the food? The mother of my friend just serves her cats chicken legs, hearts etc

It’s more convenient. Also, it’s not pure meat as that is not nutritionally complete, she adds supplements and egg yolks for a complete diet with all of the necessary vitamins and minerals.

I would rather just add the supplement in eggs
How do I make sure the raw food is safe for my cat? Please tell me. This raw food stuff looks good, but I didn't find explanation for it's safety. Pleased point me a direction

Learn about raw food from mercola pets health. Type it on KZread about raw food. You would do better know about this

has anyone heard of mixing raw muscle meat with Raw Meow mix (something like Australian TC Feline)? since I can't invest in a meat grinder (currently studying abroad), this is what I opt for, but I'm concerned about the lack of real bones :( can someone advise me on how to make up for the possible deficiency in calcium and phosphorous(an outcome of premix packages)?
The ONLY way my cat will eat is if I water down her food.... I never had a cat like this one before! And then she sleeps in a sunny location resting instead of running around crazy like. I am just beginning to understand her because I've only had her since Christmas... not even 2 months. She is 6 months old my vet decided. She came already named Pickles and I kept the name but, I call her Momma Pickles because she looks like a boy cat but, she is VERY lady like and I felt bad to have her spayed but, I did it anyway rather than deal with her when she went into heat.
