I just recently tried changing my cats diet. Although she felt better on it (more playful, running around, being nice to us instead of lying around all day) I had to change back because it gave her very bad diarea. So, when we have moved to mexico (she´s coming with us) she will have to get used to different food... but i will also buy more fresh meat for her there (cheaper).
What meat especially is good for cats? I have been afraid to give her raw chicken because of salmonella.. is that a real worry for cats? |
ssandra, you can read my previous post in this thread. The fresher the chicken, the better. Cats naturally only eat meat, they handle raw meat better than humans. If you have ever had uncooked chicken, you see how quick it "exits", where a cat has no problem. I remember picking up my little boy Bradley, who was fed mothers milk and dried food (6 weeks old) and the first thing he got when we brought him home was cut up chicken breast. Since that day, he has eaten nothing but raw meat. Chicken, turkey, rabbit, beef. He has a habit of stealing tortillas, bread, cereal and ice cream/yogurt, but what can we do. For a 13lb cat, he is quite sneaky.
