RE: NN for animals - and another Q

[Guest guest]

I'd like to follow this question with another that I've been meaning

to ask for some time. I've got two cats that I think are ready for

a more species appropriate diet. I got Pitcairn's book and The

Natural Cat (Anitra Frazier). These recipes obviously are much

better than the canned food they are currently eating, but they

still seem a little grain-heavy and supplement-heavy. Does this

work well or is there something more NT for cats out there?

Katy,

I feed from Pitcairn. Sort of. Actually, all I do is use the

supplement proportions from one recipe (I think it's called Poultry

Delight) - I mix them up ahead of time and add an appropriate amount to

each meal Da Boy gets (raw this, that or the other, sometimes cooked

chicken, he loves his chicken heh). I have NEVER added any of the grains

even when I was using those recipes more specifically - just the

supplements (major one being Healthy Powder). I'll usually add a small

amount of chopped mixed veggies to one meal, though, for some reason he

seems to like that.

My guy's nine and a half now, been feeding him this way for over five

years, and he's still feisty as ever. :-D

If I have to be a grownup, can I at least be telekinetic too?

Katy,

The animal folks on the list seem to dig this group:

rawpaws/

Katy,

The two books you mentioned do have some serious shortcomings. Someone

recently posted about a group--rawpaws--where you can get any question

answered about recipes, chunk feeding and supplements. It's a totally

no-grain approach, with minimal supplements. (I use no supplements). They

have great files as well on fleas, etc. Also, it's a very friendly and

supportive group.

Try http://www.catnutrition.org - the recipe I use is a variation of

this recipe as well as the one at http://www.blakkatz.com. I started my

cats on raw 4 years ago. Another good site is catinfo.org and a really

helpful and friendly list is felinefuturediet
