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.

Inflammation of the mucous lining of any of the structures in the mouth, which may involve the cheeks, gums, tongue, lips, and roof or floor of the mouth. The word “stomatitis” literally means inflammation of the mouth. (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.
