Thread: BARF = Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods = Bones and Raw Flesh

Hi Antonia,

It was not easy, specially with the older one... like Frodo and Faria... who had only eaten buiscuits and cooked food... But basically I kept at it.. Frodo lost a lot of weight in the begining ( but he needed too) so did Faria... but ALL my cats are now loving the food... and I will never go back...

I have the Tinlo food .NL for the Mince mince its fantatic.. and I found a supermarket in NL PLUS that do the minced heart and the heart cubes... and Tinlo also do the head and Cheek meat..


I made the the unit other day, they were in Ambers room for her playstation gear, but she is too old for it now.. and I had them in the Attic room.. but they were really only collecting dust... and so I thought I will try it and the cats love it..

I am on my next project after seeing something Monika Dany made in her home... with an IKEA unit.. I am going to glue thick carpet on all sides and use the shelves with boxes.... for little hidy holes... they will not trash that lol...


I worked it out and it will be cheaper than paying another hundred plus euros for another cat scratch they wil trash...

My Coonies love the Tinlo mince as well. They get some for breakfast every day. I used to buy wonderful rabbit carcasses from that company as well, but sadly they don't carry them any longer - only the rabbit heads which my Coonies won't eat.

I will email you a list of other suppliers in Holland, for your blog.

LOL - How to recycle your kid's furniture.
I am thinking of using such a cupboard to make a see-through kitty-friendly separation wall between the living room and the home office.

I have one of these units with my Tv on with Black boxes to fit in them.. and the cats are ALWAYS in them... So I thought why not.. Monika had a single one she made her self... and ALL the cats loved it so I have had this idea for a while... Busy busy lol..... xx

Is that Monika who breeds traditional Persians? She has some very inspiring stuff on her website about things like catproofing gardens, etc.

Oh, I see… I got confused because of the name Dany. The Persian breeder (she no longer breeds btw) is called Dani but that turns out to be her first name.
Anyway, here’s a link to the web page.

I think I am going to start a separate thread to share this. There's load of images and useful links.

The total days supply for all my cats...

Bucket yellow 10 kilos of mixed bones, carcasses and containing Chicken meat,

White bucket rear, 9 kilos of mixed mince all 5 meats and bones needed per day including organs.. HOME minced by me!!

Front bucket 3 kilos of defrosted day old chicks.

Looks great Debbie, I bet they love their mealtimes.
So a total of 22 kgs of meat per day for your crew???
I thought mine ate a lot at around a kg per day!!!
Do you mix all 3 items together, or feed from each bowl separately?
Do your cats eat the DOCs whole?
