Have you ever considered feeding your cat raw meat?
 
If you're considering adding or switching to raw food for your cat, here is a helpful article that is especially useful for the beginner or if you like to follow a recipe and are a natural at "micro-managing" things:


That is a good article, but I do it very differently for my cats. I gave up grinding the meat, for one thing. Too much trouble. Then, adding all the recommended supplements can be expensive. I now follow a different protocol that more closely "mimics" the raw prey model and allows the cats to chew the meat as well as gnaw on the bones, which I leave intact for that purpose.

Survey Results - Upcoming Book
 
Thanks to everyone who responded to my survey in June about what kind of book you'd like to read next. Nearly 100% of you specifically want to see something about cat health, with other topics filling out the rest of the preferences.
My co-author, Paul DeCeglie, and I are working on health articles and tips already. We think you will be pleased with the book!
