My cats were raised on kibble and canned food and I found the only way I was able to get them to eat raw food was to grind it. That's working but I'd like to start moving them to chopped. I think I'll start offering them pieces of the food as I prepare it. Whatever they like, I'll leave in chunks with the rest ground. Hopefully I can gradually move them to all chunks. I like the idea of adding bone broth, too. You've given me some great ideas on how I can change things up and make sure my cats are getting the best they can. Thanks! Also, I switched to wood pellets instead of cat litter a while ago. You should do a video about what led you to choose them and how you use them. I know I tried a lot of different kinds of litter before settling on them.
Up on the wood pellet litter video. I am using wood pellet right now due to cost efficiency but I am still seeing videos that it is not good with their paws
Raw bones don't chip cats teeth. They won't get chipped unless you give them super hard bones like turkey legs or turkey wings, aka inappropriate bones for cats. Also, they're missing out on crunching though the bone which helps keep their teeth clean, and gives them the extra mental stimulation.
@@spidermonkey2362 all duck bones (except leg and thigh bones), all chicken bones (cornish hen included), all rabbit bones, quail, turkey neck (they'd have to build up jaw muscles first though) and the wingtips. Make sure you include the skin and meat as well (just making sure to mention as there are people who think you have to remove it). I forget if there's more but that's all I can think of atm.
Our government thinks it's perfectly healthy to feed people pop and sugar-coated cereal and Twinkies, but raw milk and eggs from a backyard farmer are now considered hazardous. 🙄 Feed your cat real meat, raw meat, and it'll be fine. Feeding it processed cat food is one of the worst things you can do.
@@Livskittlepasteurized dairy is a modern invention. Older civilizations took a different approach to preserving dairy products. They turned it into cheese and yogurt, or rather the milk turned itself into cheese/yogurt. Grapes turned into wine. So on and so forth. Natural fermentation. It turns foods into a different product.

Awesome Video, thank you! We need more videos like this to spread the word that this is the most healthy and natural way for our cats to eat. I have 4 Ragdoll Cats, the first was suffering from diarrhea every day and vomited every few days - non stop. We were lost: No vet here in Switzerland (!) could help (they tried all they could -in their way...) but after one year he was getting sicker and sicker, so them I stumbled on a youtube video that talked about this and I thought why not try (I know that it was healthy for dogs so why not for cats?) I made an online course to prepare. And we changed to Raw Food, literally the next day (really) the diarrhea and vomiting stopped. He was getting very healthy again! He is now 9 years old and his blood test and health is amazing, they say, not one little thing, nothing. One of the others also had diarrhea when we got him as kitten (but not as bad), so we immediately change to Raw Food and voilà it also stopped a few days later. ...Those saying this is dangerous are just not informed enough and I hope videos like yours are helping. So thank you :) Cheers from Switzerland
Hey thank you for sharing your story! I am so happy your cats were able to get better with raw food. At least in America a lot of the hate on raw food is coming from vets. And the reason for that is the big pet food companies have been buying all of the vet clinics. So when you go to the vet they discourage it.
@@TheCatButler Thank you :) Exactly.... It's sad but it's true. In Switzerland, some vets we know have come around and most of the other vets at least are very tolerant when I say I raw feed them.. I really hope it will change soon, for the animals sake.
Awesome tutorial! I've recently transitioned my cats to a raw diet, but for now, I'm opting for a little less prep by using Viva Raw. :) I'm trying to find the perfect balance when it comes to thawing and serving. What's the longest your thawing container stays out of the freezer before your cats completely finish it? I've been trying to stick to 24 hours max... I have three cats and am prepping each container to hold enough for a single meal for all three. I feed them twice per day. My idea is to keep two containers in the fridge at a time----once one is eaten, I’d take the next out of the freezer. How do you manage this process?
I think its around 24 hour max. I have three containers at a time. One that is ready, one that is half way thawed, and one completely frozen. Usually the one that is ready is half eaten already. Hope that helps!
Thank you so much for your guide (: may I ask what temperature your cats eat the thawed meat at? I imagine that some planning is required on what time to take them from the freezer into the fridge to thaw, and also when to take it out of fridge to warm up. Can you just microwave it slightly to warm it up? As I imagine warm food imitates fresh meat better!
Glad the video is helpful! Usually the temperature is room temperature after I take it out from my fridge. The cats wait a bit for it to warm a bit. I do time it. Sometimes it’s frozen or a little cold and I do microwave it and the cats do eat it. So microwaving is an option! Hope that helps

where can I find spleen, lung and tripe? My cat won’t touch kidneys or liver. But she loves pork loin, beef, chicken wings (bone in), hearts and gizzards. She also loves raw salmon, but won’t touch salmon oil. I also give her occasionally raw shrimp and sea scallops. All my seafood is wild. Salmon is sockeye from Alaska. Shrimp and sea scallops are from Gulf of Florida. I hope that salmon good enough for oil substitution?
@@aniakrysia All your seafood should be cooked due to risk of freeze resistant parasites. Liver also needs to be half of your secreting organs so you would need to either hide it in meals or experiment with different animals like chicken (it's milder), but liver is absolutely needed. Lung and tripe are also muscular organs and are considered meats in raw feeding.
I will use up my leftover wet food (it's a good brand apparently, more than 70% meat in the can) but I think it might be better to raw feed again. My previous cat really like it ☺️
Please can anyone give advice, lost for what to do 😢 I've got a 12yr old cat that I've had for 11 years. 6 months ago I adopted a second 11yr old cat. We started by slowly introducing them, getting them to eat next to each other etc. They're at a point where they're fine in large spaces, and recognise each other, will eat together and occasionally sleep on same bed if I'm sleeping there (but the 12yr old will hiss a bit). However, whenever they're sat waiting for food (they both are food obsessive), the 12yr cat growls and sometimes hits her. The 11yr old is respectful of her space and keeps her distance. What can we do to stop this happening and it escalating?
Get them on a fresh, clean raw meat diet IMMEDIATELY! No kibble. No vaxxes - do titers. No chemical flea garbage, etc. Your fur babies will be stay healthy and vibrant.
I would just combine it all together and grind it. Not sure if it's safe to do that with the bones but you might be able to use a supplement to replace the bones. At least you get could get the consistency to ground meat . I'm sure you could puree it in a blender further if needed. I don't have any facts but it just makes sense to me in my head. Maybe someone else can elaborate 😂
My cat Jimmy is 11years and 10 months. He was diagnosed with diabetes this past June. I have him on both wet and dry food. If I begin to put him on raw food over time,could this reverse his diabetes?
My Ragdoll won’t eat lamb kidneys, beef or chicken liver- raw or freeze dried. I think it’s the slimy texture. What should I do to substitute? She loves chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, pork loins, chicken wings. I’m also curious, what size litter box are you using? Unless you have robot. Mine is 30x17, I like it as big as possible to put 2 bags of pine pellets so she can dig and have plenty of room. I see people have much smaller ones.
I found it a little bit funny that said, you are worried about your cats chipping their teeth on bone after you claimed the raw food diet makes their teeth healthier? 😂 You cats are huge they can handle bone and pre frozen meat.
