The dilema with feeding the carnivores in the house



So over the last few years, I've been trying to find the cats a good raw diet that is easy for me to prepare, isn't overly gross to me, and is easy to find and buy. Most of the easy to find ones have a little too much vegetable matter in them than I think they should be eating or have something else "wrong" with them so that I haven't kept using any variety for very long. Recently I noticed that the cats were getting overly addicted to their canned food so I looked online to see if I could find any new products or something I haven't seen before. I stumbled upon the Feline Future website and decided to give it a try. Their ingredient list is pretty simple (total of ten) and all you do is mix it with any kind of raw meat. It arrived today and the cats gave it a try. They all ate it up. So far thumbs up. Now the next thing will be to find a place to buy relatively inexpensive ground meat that is hormone free. I used to be able to go to Whole Foods in the city for that kind of thing but not sure where to go now. I don't trust the supermarket very much.

Looks like interesting stuff. I can't figure this out though . . . can you use ground meat and bone? Or should it just be ground muscle meat? Have you ever tried ground tripe with the cats? That might be something you could mix in, and we have it at HOD! ;-)

Carnivores are hard.

I guess I should be glad I don't have to feed them live prey...

Ugh! The tripe is so stinky! I know it's good for them but it smells awful. This mix I bought is only for ground meat no bone but I'm going to try to figure something out since I drove around for two hours this morning trying to find something with no hormones no antibiotics under $3.99 a pound. I'm going to look around in the city when I go for work too...

I think you get used to the smell of tripe with time. I used to gag when I first opened it, and now it doesn't bother me at all. Our pups get it at least once a week. They love it, of course!
