My lot have 1 raw meal a day, thought you might like to see just how much they enjoy it ;)

This meal is whole minced chicken finely ground with bone (Yum yum :roll: )

As you can see the raw meal time is very popular - how many cats can you get in one photograph? :-D

Are you sure bottom pic, bottom left, isn't Bentley come for tea? :)
They are enjoying their good food. Have you got one of those grinder machines to do the bones? I'm still quite tempted by raw feeding .......

The likeness between Bently and Clooney is quite bizarre isn't it?

No, I don't have a grinder. I buy it already ground. It comes either coarsly ground or finely ground. I buy finely ground for the cats and coarse ground for the puppies/dogs.

The cats also have scraps of beef, green tripe and lambs hearts. Claude will eat kidney but the others are not so bothered..

Lovely meezers n mogs! Clooney is huge..so big, but has such a thick, cosy looking coat!
The Meezers are all lovely, but Porsha is such a doll and allways seems to have a merry 'outlook' to things regardless of how bad it may be!

Love the name Mildred - bless her - she looks so tiny!!

I do a raw feed every so often - raw chicken wings - particularly for my cat that doesn't eat dried food (for her teeth). They love it - eat all of the bone and everything!!!

Can't believe you feed them on the sofa tho Fran!?!?!?! tut tut!!!!! LOL :)

Sylvester my big black and white boy will tackle a whole chicken wing and usually polishes every last bit of it :shock:

I've never had a regular raw feeding day, but mine have always gotten raw steak for thir birthdays, and the occasional treat of raw stew beef or chicken ...they love it! Those are great pics!

Looks like the raw meat is enjoyed by all!!

Just a bit of a dumb question now...
Do you get 'normal' raw meat from the butchers and give that to the cats, or do you get a 'special type'?

Also, which raw meat would you recommend?

Thanks (& sorry to bombard this thread with questions) :)

I buy mine from a specialist supplier of raw foods for animals. But I buy in bulk so it works out better for me. You can buy from the butcher/supermarket. Mince turkey, chicken, beef are fine. I don't feed pork because of the tapeworm issue. If you do decide to feed beef then make sure you freeze it then defrost it before serving. There is apparantly some bacteria in it that is killed during the freezing process. I prefer to feed chicken/turkey with bone so have whole carcasses ground up. To do this yourself you would need a grinder. You can also feed heart, kidneys, liver, tripe..almost anything that takes their fancy really.
