Thank you so much! This answered all of my questions! My bengal has been on an all meat diet his whole life. He is new to me though! His owners before gave him chicken legs so we followed with that as he wouldn't touch anything else. I wasn't sure if it was the best choice for him, but now I'm sure he's doing well! He's does exactly what you said. Takes the leg runs away with it and eats the whole thing, sometimes bone included. He won't touch livers but likes eggs okay, so I'm going to try the blender way next :) thanks again!

Raw is natural i agree, but i studied butchery and it's quite incredible how fast bacteria grows, bacteria that wouldn't be there in the wild. I might try raw, but it's going to be a big step for me.

I saved the plastic cups from store bought wet food, and measured out equal portions of ground meat in each one. Then I sealed them with a sticky plastic wrap and froze them. Each container had enough for 1 day, and I made enough for a month or 2 at a time. My adopted cat lost weight and soon had a glossy coat. (If your cat resists the raw food, add a little tuna. But don't do 100% tuna, because it's like feeding a kid pringles and mountain dew for breakfast.)

Excellent videos from you, very interesting. I wish everyone put as much effort and care into their cats as you do. I have just started feeding my Bengal a raw food diet and it's the best decision I have made (that and letting him outside - I'll comment on that on your other video). I adopted him from cats protection last September and I couldn't find a cat food he was happy with. So after much research I got my local pet store to order some commercial raw cat food in and he absolutely loves it. It's easy too prepare, has the right mix of meat and organs and costs no more than normal cat food. The way to go!

I just take out of the freezer what I need for the next day and it's easy to deal with - no mess and no smell. Early days yet but I am optimistic!

Excellent video, I have 2 Bengals and they are 14 years old. Each one had to go to a vet only once in their life and also the last blood analyzes are excellent. I started also with all the additional work you described, but simplified it with the years: for each cat 1 raw chicken leg in the morning and during the day they go back many time to eat something from the leg. At the end of the day there remains only 3-4 cm of the bone. The tooth of the cat are excellent!!! I do disagree only on one part of the video: the cats in the wild do eat vegetables but they eat it indirectly from the stomach of the mouses they caught. So I give the cats in the evening a small portion (40g) of quality cane food, which has a small portion of vegetal part.

I buy a frozen box of 5 kg raw chicken fillets a month for my Bengal, the bones can be dangerous so I find fillets is the best way to go. My cat prefer to eat the chicken almost frozen so I take out a chicken from the freezer 5-10 min before and never had to worry about bacteria on the chicken.

When I adopted my cat from a rescue I was given cat food recommended by the vet. She had horrible farts and overly soft and incredibly stinky stools. I had considered giving her raw but after I saw how horribly sensitive her digestive system was I changed her to raw. The smells stopped entirely. Her cat box doesn’t reek like previous cats I grew up with who we fed dry to, though they were hunters and caught a lot of prey. One of our cats would refuse to eat kibble or canned and would only eat raw meat. So it wasn’t a new concept for me. But it amazed me how quickly she improved. She is so healthy and her fur gets softer every week. Her eye goop is clearing up and she has so much energy. It’s like I have a kitten in the house. I started by putting psyllium in her food. She has started chewing on the bones from the meat I bring home. She loves it. And she used to gulp her commercial cat food down too quickly so now she eats much more slowly. I have to close my bedroom door when I give her a bone cuz she will drag it off and most of my house is linoleum. I got to feed the tigers at the Monterey zoo and they fed them whole chicken soaked in supplements. My raw food is similar. You can buy the premix supplements without having to buy the individual supplements separately. That’s what I do right now. It’s not really that hard to feed raw. Thanks for posting.

You are amazing, you know that? I will be adopting a handsome Snow Bengal in a couple of months and of course I want him healthy and spare him as many trips to the vet as possible. So this information is so very helpful! I'll definitely look into a raw diet because the hydration thing is a really good thing you to consider. I was wondering if you're familiar with BARF menu and if you would recommend it for a Bengal? Its basically all raw meat, organs and bones without any grains, rice and other unnecessary ingredients. It's also quite affordable and available in most pet stores.

Hi, that's for this video my little Bengal girl is 16 and she's been having a lot of issues lately with eating and keeping food down, we've tried every commercial brand of food imaginable over the years she gets bored within a week usually but she's always there for the Sunday joint to have her slice as close to rare as she can have it. We where worried about switching her to a more fresh meat based diet due to her age but she's coping a lot better with it although she only likes red meat, she's never liked fish and will rarely eat chicken. She's gone from deaths door to jumping around and keeping everything down in a few days. Although I have been feeing her more cooked meat and gradually introducing raw as she's such an old girl and she's still getting used to it. Thanks for putting my mind at ease over trying this to try and perk her up.

I know this diet wouldn't be strictly for Bengal cats, but I had considered going raw for my kitty, she's a rescue (which I highly encourage before going to a breeder). She's a Bombay which is a breed that is kinda known for being dense lol. Bombays are a small stocky breed that typically weigh more than they look. Shes pretty heavy and I've tried everything I could to get her to lose some weight because cats that are overweight can develop secondary problems such as arthritis- which she's exhibiting the early symptoms of and enlarging of the heart which she also has. I feed her what is recommended and got her tested for thyroid issues which she was apparently fine for. Right now I have her on a low preservative very expensive cat food high in protein and minerals for her bones. It's diet. She hasn't been on it long but I noticed she seems more hungry more often while on this diet. Everything you've mentioned benefit wise in this video seems like it'd help her a lot. Bombays tend to be more prone to getting build up on their teeth and gingivitis which is also something I can see shes getting. I guess what I wanted to ask if there is any downsides to this? I know it shouldn't matter but I've tried raw fish for her before and she didn't want it. I just figured shes so spoiled and domesticated that she won't eat the raw food. (last night she found a cricket and she just sat and meowed at it. It's like her kitty instincts to catch and eat or even play with it, were just not working. lol)

Great Video! My two cents: Put water fountains everywhere. I have three, and my cats will drink way more water this way even on a raw or wet diet. Never had a problem with blockages, UTI's or poop problems. I do also feed a high quality wet food diet with only meat: one thing I'll point out though is small amounts of grains are OKAY as cats in the wild eat animals that have undigested grains in their stomachs and therefore can tolerate them in small amounts. Brown rice etc.

Please oh please do not just feed the muscle meats. You are guaranteed vitamin and mineral deficiency if you do not include organ meats (and some ground raw bones) that contains vitamins and minerals. Lack of taurine guarantees heart problems. The vitamins via the links above in the show notes are the vitamins recommended by an actual veterinarian. Good luck!

Hi again! I was talking with a breeder and she said that raw food the way you say might be dangerous (although brokes in little peaces). Is that true? How to solve that? I really want to feed my cat in raw meet...Thanks!

When you prepare your ground chicken, do you put the bones through the grinder also?

Yes, but ONLY in the amounts listed by Lisa Pierson, DVM. Go to catinfo.org/making-cat-food/#Making%20Cat%20Food%20-%20Quick%20Summary and scroll down until you find “I use the following ingredients - in amounts listed - per...” This is where the recipe begins. NOTE: DO NOT USE synthetic vitamin E, only the natural vitamin E (link provided in the video comments section above). Use only the products listed above without any added ingredients. Make sure your grinder screen is a SMALL grinder screen, or the bones pieces may be too large.

What about feeding them frozen mice? You can buy packs of them at a lot of reptile stores. I would think it would also be a more natural diet since the majority of what cats catch in the wild would probably be small rodents, reptiles, or birds. They would also be getting the organs, bones, and meat with every meal so you don’t have to worry about proportions. Have you looked into this option? I would guess it’s probably more expensive to go this route though.

All cats are different. Many cats will over eat if they have dry or canned food 24/7. She was giving a personal example as a guide, not as written rule.

Thank you for this great video! I have a question. My Bengal Kitten was born on the 17 march..so i must wait till June 19 till she can come home to me. At what age could i start a raw diet? Is it safe for a kitten or should i wait till she is older? Thanks for any advice!

Well, it might take a few judgment calls. You see, in the wild, the mother bengals will feed them cooked jerboas until they're old enough (about 18 months) to eat raw ones. Usually after 3 or 4 months, they begin to add small increments of raw jerboa in until their systems are fully accustomed to it. Jerboas may be hard to find where you live, so just use your judgment: mice would be all right as a replacement, but I would steer clear of guinea pigs.

My kitty's vet insisted that we DON'T feed her wet food bc of a tooth problem that costed over $250 to have fixed. She ate mostly dry food her whole life and she was a happy kitty (on her own terms of course.) She WASN'T a Bengal though; she didn't have THAT much energy. My friend has a Bengal kitty and he acts like the Energizer kitty sometimes. It makes my friend laugh to see his kitty zooming up and down all over the place.

Love this idea and awesome video. I just have some concerns or fears....my kitty recently died of some random issue of anemia. Know one understood why she suddenly died of anemia with no real explanation from the vet. We got her a blood transfusion and she just couldn't produce red blood cells. I was so heart broken and the vets had no answers. I strongly believe that it is possible that it was the food I was giving her. Idk why but I believe maybe the dry kibble was why her body shut down:/ I just didnt know...but I am ready to change my other cat's diet and get them off this fake food. I just heard there are harmful dye and hormones in the meats to make it a red color. Will that harm my cat? And should I get farm raised meat since the live stock from factories is fed corn and pumped with hormones?

I do buy a very high quality kibble but I do want to switch to a raw diet. Now their are a lot of commercial raw meat brands such as carnibest...but I tried that and they are not that drawn to it and not really eating it. Do you have any advice feeding raw? What kind of raw meat do your feed your cats and where do you get it? I have to normal European shorthairs btw.

Please do not feed cats raw chicken from Walmart or Aldi or any chicken that has water “solution” or brine “solution” or tons of sodium added. If you look at the nutrition facts and it says 400mg of sodium per serving, put the chicken down and go elsewhere. I have used "Greenwise" brand chicken from Publix safely. Just don't use Walmart or Aldi or some other discount store chicken.

We feed our Savannah Tau 7 yrs old and our Bengal Ari 5 yrs old , Blue buffalo wilderness, they get 1/3 of cup of kibble 3 times a day between both of them and 2 tbsp’s of wet food each twice a day and we put extra water on the wet food, never had urinary tract issue and they are a healthy weight and plenty active.
