LOL. Our cat is a ridiculously happy, active, affectionate, playful and healthy 4 yr old carnivore who eats mice and happily crunches on whatever leftover meats we give her....she loves all the "nasties" that humans recoil from and usually throw away....she chomps through chicken bones and fish heads, eyeballs and pork fat. She's gorgeous and super healthy. Any real meat you give your cat is light years better than the processed crap they call cat food. It's like do you give your child an apple and worry that it hasn't got the proper ratio of nutrients, or do you give her AppleJacks because the box says it has 9 essential nutrients?

Make sure everything you give are raw, not cooked, because they can be harmful and can cause problems for their digestive tract if they're cooked.

Can someone educate me on how you can't feed the same raw diet forever but you aren't told to not feed the same commercial diet forever? Also, I hear people claim they don't share recipes because "every cat should have a different recipe" yet cats can share the same commercial food for their lives? I'd like to be properly educated, because my autistic ass can't do all the calculations and stuff myself, especially with how busy I am. I need a few one and done recipes to use for my average cat to cycle through and be done with it. :')

Basically commercial cat food companies don't actually care about our cats they just want our money. I mean if you look at the ingredients at the back of a cat food packet it's like only 15% meat if that. That's why many of us make our own cat food.

Commerical cat foods are nutritionally balanced to meet a general cats needs, its the same formula every single time. If you fed the same raw food they wouldnt have a balance of nutrients unless you do the math and talk to a vet to make it balanced. So you could feed the same raw everytime if you do it very precise. Also commerical DRY foods are kinda shit too and most cats do pay the price long term with kidney problems. The worst wet food is better than the best dry food

What do you suggest if you have a kitty that just WILL NOT chomp into bone? She chews meat chunks and I've had her chew a bit on silvervine. But no mater what cut or how I try to give it to her she'll ignore bone parts, might chomp once and then drops it and doesn't eat it or chew enough to get any benefits. I've had to grind the bones or mix powders into ground meats to get her proper calcium. But I want to be doing more for her dental health too. She'll chomp on me fine and even tough meat just wont to bone even lets me look at her teeth until shes annoyed. So I dont think its any eating discomfort, when i still did kibble she'd chomp the bigger treats

Once you have all these ingredients what do you do with it? Grind it all together serve and/or freeze? Can it be made in large batches? Ive also seen other raw recipes that call for 4000mg of salmon/fish oil…does that come from the sardines in your recipe?
