Thread: What a good idea

Agree this is a great idea. I actually joined another Forum to discuss raw feeding without being shot down in flames. Personally I believe it is a natural way to feed. Buddy is not the first pet I have raw fed, my Sams were fed raw after two nearly died due to dry food but I'm not going to get into that.Buddy is a happier, healthier, more contented cat now so to me that is all that's important. If my cats didn't like it, they wouldn't eat it.

Hank used to love mince, but went off it sadly and his food of choice at the moment is the Iams pouches, in gravy, not jelly.. he's too fussy..
I would like to get him back on to raw food again, as I also do believe its the best thing for them along with a constant available supply of good quality kibble but for conveniant frozen raw food, the only one I get near me is prize choice and he's gone off that too. I may try him again as its been a while.

The first brand we used to buy was 'food 4 cats', sadly the supplier (internet) stopped trading, however there maybe another supplier took its place but I'll have to check but he really did like their rabbit. I didn't really enjoy serving it as it had everything in there, bits of fur and god knows what else but IMO nature intended cats to eat fur, eyeballs, innards and all the gorey bits so if I could get that stuff again I would.

This is the only online company I order from and their quality is really excellent. Good customer service as well.
They also do other meats for pets, such as beef trimmings, turkey mince, and tongue.
They are looking into sourcing chicken hearts so fingers crossed they will be available soon, my crew absolutely loves them.

I will reply tomoz when a bit more able to accept both sides, in the meantime my coonies are paramount and going to enjoy the cuddles xx

Rabbit is a favorite with our crew as well. I buy carcasses (ribcages with a lot of meat still on them) and use pruning scissors to cut off the ribs. I don’t feed the vertebrae because I noticed the Coonies have difficulty crunching them. (Which is a bit strange really because I’ve heard of cats who happily munch on the vertebrae and even the heads.)

Fur and feathers are supposed to be good for roughage, but sadly our Coonies won’t eat anything that still ‘has its clothes on’ – except for little Minnie who likes day-old chicks. There’s talk that one of the Dutch frozen ground brands will shortly be introducing a new variety that contains fur and feathers, so I am anxiously awaiting that.
