raw food for cats

Cat Diet Improved

November 2021

.

This short post is in reference to previous post.

.

This is just a quick summary of what has been implemented. My cats weigh 7 to 8 lbs each

.

♦ Raw ground sirloin 1 tbsp each.

.

♦ Cooked chicken thighs a few scoops on top of cat food. Substituted a raw chicken heart or chicken liver (about 1 or 2 tsp.)

.

Olive oil 1/2 tsp per day (AM)

.

Lysine 1/8 tsp per day, until improvement in both cats, then 1/8 tsp twice a week.

.

Taurine 1 scoop per day per cat. No side effects for giving too much. ( Of course a person needs to be realistic in the amount.)

.

Oratene Toothpaste Gel after each meal.

.

SeaMeal 1/8 tsp twice a day.

.

Bone meal seems to be about 1/8 tsp per 1 oz of food. Since I am adding cans, I probably only need 1/8 tsp per day per cat.

.

Note: Always consult your vet. This is only my experience for my cats. I am not a vet and can’t advise you how to feed your cats.

Gingivitis

.

Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums. Bleeding is a primary symptom, and other symptoms include swelling, redness, pain, and difficulty in chewing. (reference: Medical Dictionary)

Lily and Lucy both have red gums. There has been improvement since I first started on this quest. Lily’s breath improved. Their coat is silkier. Still, there wasn’t enough progress.

By appointment time for both cats, I made a recent purchase of cat food. Ugh.
