How to Prep RAW CAT FOOD

[@zeusandmaisy]

What is your kitty eating today? 😸

[@jimins_lostjaammzzz1620]

Zeus how big are the portions? Like how many grams? When do you feed this to him?

[@zeusandmaisy]

Kittens should be eating 5% of their full grown bodyweight each day. I feed Zeus as often as he wants to eat throughout the day. Just keep refilling his bowl.

I also have a Ragdoll cat, he is 1 year and a half now. When I adopted him, he was 6 months old and very often sick. Hairballs and regular trips to the vet. I instinctively changed his diet to a raw one, adding a tiny bit of taurine powder and he is now a very healthy and happier boy.

[@zeusandmaisy]

That is amazing! Zeus had two hairballs the first night we brought him home... I put him on a raw food diet right away and he has only had two in the 4 months since 😺

Taurine can be an issue for cats on an all raw diet. My cat is on partial prescripton diet, so I hope he will get enough.

[@laughandreload7005]

My cat is off insulin because of a raw diet, so it is awesome that you made this video to help spread awareness! I've been feeding my cat raw for a little over a year now but I'm always looking for ways to improve his food. I used to feed him grain-free dry cat food. I was surprised when my vet told me he had diabetes because I thought I was feeding him a good diet. I was pretty devastated having to poke my cat's ear with a needle to read his blood twice a day (and its extremely difficult to boot!) and then follow up with two shots of insulin into his back. It took a tole on me emotionally because my cat clearly didn't understand why I was doing this to him. Luckily my vet steered me toward a raw diet. After a month of close monitoring, his glucose levels returned to healthy levels and I no longer have to poke my cat with needles or inject him with insulin. He is full of energy now, even more than when he was a kitten, and he is at a healthier weight too. Interestingly, the raw diet ends up being cheaper than when I was buying "premium" dry food. Healthy cat, cheaper food. That's a win-win!

[@zeusandmaisy]

That is amazing! So glad your kitty is doing better 🐱

[@danakarloz5845]

Wow! My cat got injured and had a high white blood count and then they discovered that he was diabetic. I’m wondering if this will help him 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dj-ff9su]

Could you please give me some advise on your recipes? Will I be depriving my cat if I do not add taurine, even with a diet including bones and liver??

[@ahaokatano3153]

@@dj-ff9su Yes they need taurine to survive. Keep the taurine, bones, and liver.

[@dj-ff9su]

@@ahaokatano3153 Is it possible to put too much taurine and other supplements? I know too much vitimin A can be toxic. It's hard to know what to do because I watch videos of people who make raw food for their cat and have researched recipes and some add supplements even though there are bones and organs and some do not and they believe that the bones and organs are enough. And some people say that they use the 80 10 to 10 ratio but what they're doing doesn't really look like in 80 10 to 10 ratio so it really confuses me :( I wanted to try a small batch starting with like two chicken breast and was thinking of using small fish as bone source and also some more protien, and my cat prefers fish but I don't see any raw fish diets. Not sure how many fish to add though.

[@RovingPunster]

Looks like a pretty good mix. 2 comments though. 1) The only issue with grinding the bones is you loose the tartar removal benefits of unground bone. You might try alternating in some partial chicken frames (the rib cages) from smaller chickens (cornish game hens), or even whole quail. Just a thought. 2) I'd also occasionally include some whole oily fish, like fresh (not canned) sardines and smaller mackerel (head on, guts in).

[@malloryw6208]

You are the best cat mom! He is so stinking cute! I meal prep for my dog every other week... not raw but he hasn't eaten kibble in years 🐾

[@elijahhall8889]

[@malloryw6208]

@@elijahhall8889 usually the base is ground beef, with some ground turkey or pork. Some rice, peas, carrots etc. I usually try to give a little variety, like sweet potato or pumpkin. He gets cooked chicken livers and gizzards every so often... or beef liver if I can find it local.. plus a calcium supplement since I do not feed him bones.

[@virglibrsaglove]

Thank you so much for this! I have given a little raw food to my cats in the past but not fully. My baby girl is 1 1/2 and my big boy is 13 1/2. We went through a sad phase of poor quality cat food this past year and my formerly health big boy started loosing his teeth and becoming thin. He will never eat bad cat food again. I plan to start slowly adding as much raw food as my cats are happy with. Thanks for making this look not scary and very doable. My kitties say thank you, too!

[@MarmaladeINFP]

This is the best video I've seen on home preparation of raw cat food. Other videos made it really complicated and/or expensive.

[@paradigmglitch1054]

Fr, or they say raw food is bad.. but I've been giving my kitties 50/50 raw food and grain free kibble and I've noticed their health improve greatly. No more vomiting or stinky poops lol

[@MarmaladeINFP]

@@paradigmglitch1054 - I tried to do it with two cats I had. But for some reason, they disliked raw. They were addicted to their commercial canned foods. These were cats we fostered for a time. They were already adults when we got them. I have a permanent cat right now. She too is an adult that was raised by someone else on processed cat food. I'll experiment in trying to transition her onto raw food.

[@dbzgtcrazy]

Would love to see an updated video about how Zeus eats nowadays / any adjustments you've made! :) Gonna try to switch our new cat to raw as soon as she's more settled in to her new environment--for now we're switching from the junk the shelter was feeding to an intermediate/85% perfect dry food. Also have to figure out transitioning from free feeding to meals...phew...might not be TOO hard since she hasn't been eating all her food at once even if I put the whole day's worth in her bowl in the morning. ...always learning, and trying to do the best for her!

I'm hoping I can switch my cats to it

[@moonnoom-og]

Yup that's how they live longer. I heard that kibbles have chemicals in them and aren't good (saw an expert say that) so yeah either wet or the best is raw food (no fish) and some veggies for snacks maybe

i just adopted a senior cat she’s about 10 years old. thankfully there are no health concerns yet but i’ll do my best to start her on a raw diet to prevent problems in the future and i’ll try to get my dog started too she’s only three so thankfully she’s starting earlier. they had my poor kitty on cheap kibble at the shelter :((

[@VeganDharma]

Odd question but what is his poop like? Firm? Small? and how many times per day do you think he goes poop? I am interested in feeding a cat raw and how it differs from cats on a kibble diet

[@zeusandmaisy]

Not an odd question! Once a day and firm. The first week or so we got him his poop smelt pretty bad and was sometimes runny. Since then there is no odor whatsoever.

[@zeusandmaisy]

Also, no hairballs! He had two the first 48 hours we got him and not one since.

[@JH-zr8lo]

My boys don't have much solid waste, raw has a high hydration content benefit and the litter is not stinky. I use kibble as a treat and I notice there is more solid poopies when they get more treats.

[@JH-zr8lo]

I love seeing how others organize their raw process and embrace being actively involved with my boys meals by selecting/prepping and learning about pet nutrition instead of just opening packages, throwing their food down and walking away. I diligently watch how they react to various cuts and textures--but generally they gobble it up! I read advice to stay "feathers and fur" rather than "hooves and horns" for meat sources. I am not an advocate of supplements and prefer adding lightly cooked salmon, and grind flax, pumpkin and sunflower with eggshell, add 1/4 t for trace minerals and omega-3 per day. Their coats are soft and silky and gleam like glass.

[@mooncat81]

I’ve had my cat for three years now, and recently I’ve found my interest in biology, and specifically animals and their habitats. When I learned how important diet is for other animals, I started realizing there’s no way the kibbles I feed my cat can be healthy for him. I don’t even know if he has had wet food before, but I’m gonna convince my parents to switch him to wet food and eventually raw! Thanks so much for this video! It’s super helpful.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Try blending up the heart with the neck bones and if he likes fish, some sardines packed in water and no salt. My cat eats raw. Only thing I give her that is cooked is oily fish and shell fish. Look at paws of prey for good ideas to switch up his protein sources. I’ve been serving my cat raw for 4 yrs. She loves it. And I feel it’s worth her health as well as saves me money cuz commercial raw is pricey. And limited as to what sh3 can get. With me making it myself I can switch i5 up. Right now her mix is venison, variety of fish, and all chicken organs.liver, kidney, heart, lung. With a pork bone broth I made for her. Source of bones is from egg shells and the fish this time. Last time it was chicken wings and thighs. I’m forever mixing it up. Thanks for posting.

I would recommend washing the meat in a little vinegar water first. The processing factories have more nasty bacteria than the average prey item.

Hi Kait! U and ur kitten are so sweet! I’m a proud kitty mama to a chinchilla British shorthair named wendy :) I have been feeding her raw as well.

Their whiskers have nerevs I believe that help them to smell I believe and the bowl can block some of that or be uncomfortable for them and it also can be hard for cats to breathe and eat while their face is in a deeper bowl like that. They have cute kitty saucers all over the Internet :) hope that helps :)

[@TimeIdle]

No added vitamins or taurine, etc.?

It’s in the raw meat she feeds

[@dagorian86]

Unfortunately a lot of commercial food is caked in various forms of sugar, and is largely cereal based (with bits of meat blended in and other additives to make it more nutritious) The labels 'premium' or 'gourmet' are just tricks to make you feel better. The ingredients are essentially the same Some commercial foods are better than others, but I highly recommend you read the ingredients first. I personally do a combination of some commercial with raw. If your cat is hesitant try flash frying it first ( 20 - 30 seconds is enough) that usually does the trick

[@RH-nk7eo]

I use Natures Menu Country Hunter which is 96% meat. My kittens love it but it is quite expensive and once their a little bit older I will transition them to raw. I was shocked to see how many "premium" brands out there only have 20-30% meat in them.

[@rogerdana7950]

Hello, I have read freezing the meat reduces taurine. Have you heard of this or done some research on the matter? Thx

[@ginakim7699]

I see a lot of debate between using supplements a MUST vs people who don’t and it’s really confusing to me. It makes sense to me why someone would choose no supplements because raw is supposed to be raw. My cat has FLUTD though I don’t want to mess anything up. Can you grind bones in a regular blender or does it only work for high end machines like Vitamix? Lastly I can’t find any variant of giblets here so can I substitute for gizzards? My cat is 8 though idk if he will take to this. I don’t want to commit to buying 1lb of supplies if he isn’t even gonna eat 3oz.

[@egabri4279]

First I want to say that a raw diet is a really good idea for resolving FLUTD issues, I've read countless success stories from others who switched their kitties to raw with the same issue. As for your cats age, it may not play as big a role as you think. All cats are different, some take to raw right away and some could even take a couple months however I'd like to say that all cats can be transitioned, it just takes patience. I've seen the most stubborn and picky of cats eventually make the transition. I'd suggest giving your cat a small sliver of raw meat and see what he thinks (you can even coat it in his favorite canned food or if he eats dried food crumble some of that over the piece of meat) There are some great articles on transitioning kitties to raw food, I'll link some at the bottom. There is also a facebook group called Cats Completely Raw And Proud with over 30,000 members. Its a great place for beginners to ask any questions they have as there are many knowledgeable members who love to help. Supplements are not necessary (aside from some omega 3's) if you are feeding a PMR style raw diet (prey model raw) which basically entails feeding whole chunks of meat, bone in cuts like chicken wings and organ meats. There are a few basic guidelines to follow so here is an excellent site that tells you how to prepare the PMR diet for cats: catcentric.org Ground raw diets for cats are generally supplemented due to the meats increased surface area which can cause some nutrient losses especially Taurine, a very important amino acid for cats which is known to decrease when meat is ground. Ground raw is often easier for cats to accept as it doesn't require any chewing and its more similar in texture to canned food. There are a few raw (ground) cat food recipes online but they require a grinder. Alternatively you can order pre-ground meat/bone/organ grinds from online suppliers such as: hare-today.com and add the supplements in yourself. One thing to note is that raw food is much more bioavailable then commercial food and cats utilize almost all of it (which is why raw feeders often report less frequent and even odorless bowel movements) therefore raw fed cats consume less food than canned and dry fed cats so it doesn't cost as much as many people think. The average cat will eat about 4 ounces of raw food per day. Here are some other pages to check out: tcfeline.com (one of the easiest ways to raw feed, its a supplement premix that can be added to ground or finely chopped muscle meat no need to add organs or bones) feline-nutrition.org/nutrition/how-to-transition-your-cat-to-a-raw-diet facebook.com/groups/CatCrap/?fref=ts

[@aimeemclernon1492]

This is a great recipe, and I have access to all the same ingredients (minus the beef heart powder but I can get chicken hearts), so thank you! I am just wondering if you can say more on using up the remaining organ meats? I assume that it's not a great idea to freeze them and then refreeze them again, if making another batch? I eat liver myself so could probably just use up the rest in my own food, but it would be preferable if I knew I was buying it specifically for my cat, and so I know I have more to make his next weeks meals. I'm wondering if maybe it's best to just make two batches of this recipe at once to use up more of the organ meats? Or, if not enough muscle meat for another batch, just separate the rest into daily amounts in containers to freeze, and then add the muscle meat back in later?

[@ElegantOverlord]

Hey! Where can I buy those meats from in the beginning!?

Any luck? I have a 17lb (2lbs overweight according to the vet) somewhat lazy 7yr old and his prescription food is not working. This is the second one we’ve tried and he’s still not really lost any weight in almost two years. The worst part is he is always begging for more food.

[@drkatich9063]

It’s amazing that you are doing this for him but I have a suggestion that is beneficial for kittens especially. That doesn’t look quite balanced but it’s nearly there so I suggest getting help from a nutritionist or finding a recipe that suits him!

[@stephaniestylianou9129]

Do you have a recipe you can refer us to? Its been hard to find one online

[@RCCreal34]

Thank you for all the helpful videos! How are you calculating percentages? Do necks and wings count entirely towards the 10 percent bone, even though they do have some meat on them? Thanks in advance!

[@margaretmeaker2830]

Good question. If bone part is 10% for eg..say total amount raw to be feed is 900 gram/day. (Dog) So 10% of that is 90 grams.. but u feeding eg raw meaty bone of chicken heads which is 50% bone- so must one feed 90 grams or 180 grams of chicken heads ??

Where do you get your food from? Also, how do you prevent salmonella and things like bacteria? Also also, is it expensive to switch to a raw diet in the long run? IM SORRY ONE MORE QUESTION BARE WITH ME. Do I need to schedule feed my cat for this?

[@elysmlopez]

Im from Brooklyn and having a hard time getting chicken necks and hearts. I ask every time I go to the supermarket and the answers is NOPE and I laughed. Question Do you get them online? can you give me ideas of other ways to get other types bond and easy to grind it. I do make my own chicken or marrow beef bond broth for him. Is that enough for his bond percentage? I don’t t have any problems getting chicken liver and chicken giblets. Keep up the good work. Thanks Elys

I'm in Australia and I can just get them from the supermarket. Check this out though since you're in the US: www.nosetotail.org/product-page/grass-finished-whole-cow-pet-food-w-organs I have been grinding bones, and more recently egg shells into a browser to make up the bone portion. This website is a good resource as well: rawmeow.com.au/blogs/raw-info

[@elysmlopez]

Thanks so much for you respond. And thanks for the websites. I would let you know more. My cats is slowly getting use to it. :)

[@frida9753]

My cat has started to lose a lot of weight and I’m wondering if raw meat could possibly help him? What are some meats that are pretty fattening that I could feed him?

[@Noorstud]

You add the fish oil (omega 3) on the food you made ?

[@fluffthemagickitten]

Hi, I have a 13 week red point and he’s always been on a raw diet and is growing and thriving! My question is what do you use for treats? He won’t touch anything but the food I make him.

[@ewolffe8355]

I use little bits of prawn. They are only used as occasional treats, but my cat loves them, and knows its treat time when I get the bag out of the freezer. I just defrost a couple in warm water and break them into small chunks. And he has to earn them. So far he knows 'sit' and 'high five'!

[@yutorzh7144]

I used freeze dried meat treats and lickable treats for my raw fed cats! They hate just about every other type of treat!

[@MysticButterfly9]

I have 8 cats, does the meat have to be organic pasture raised ?

[@timsmith9577]

Hi, I would like to know the 10% of bones in the diet, does it includes any meat in it or just pure bones?

[@zeusandmaisy]

Pure bones

[@xocoolchickxo]

i want to do this for my mainecoon kitten but don't even know where to begin

[@dr.ioannab.ulrich3558]

[@user-el1qd8vy6j]

Where do you get your raw meat from? Just the market or specific pet stores?
