Everyone said cats were hard to switch, but my cat throws a damn fit every night because she wants raw like the dogsOriginally Posted by GoingPostal
Ehh harder than dogs, easier than cats usually. Just have to be persistent and convince them meat is food, I've swapped 5 ferrets, all adults to seniors from kibble to raw. Got a new boy in Dec 2012 and had him on raw within a month. He was underweight and his coat felt super coarse and gross, now he's a fattie but so soft. Mine eat mice, quail, rabbit, chicken, turkey, goat, duck, grouse and a few other proteins less often.

Satomi I didnt want to quote your whole post but that is really cool. I love when animals get to eat diets appropriate for their species. Only good things can come from it. I just wish people would get over their old wives tales about raw foods and dogs lol especially since we own APBTs, someone on a page today said
" Feeding a dog raw meat is no better than giving them steroids or gun powder. Just plain wrong. It's a damn DOG, not a jungle cat!"
and
"RAW MEAT??? That is not sanitary" cuz kibble is so sanitary..
and
"Feed your dog raw meat and it will get the taste of blood, then you cut yourself and taste of blood and you're a dead fool!"
