Natural Cat Diet

Being a Carnivore cats survived for thousands of years eating small herbivores: rodents, rabbits, birds, reptiles and insects. In the case of large cats they consumed large herbivores such as deer, buffalo, antelope, zebra to name a few.

As cute and cuddly as our house cats are we must respect their species and by doing so begins with feeding them appropriately. Cats require Taurine. Taurine is a compound found in raw meat.

Keeping your cat healthy and happy

  • Raw Meat

    Many cats take to the raw meat right away other cats can be picky and upset over change. For those cats I recommend starting them off with cooked roasted chicken, sardines and some cooked chicken livers gradually adding raw ground chicken, ground turkey meat to their meal.

    Raw chicken - Ground chicken, chicken chunks, chicken necks, chicken legs and wings

    Raw Turkey - Ground turkey , Turkey chunks

    Raw Lamb - Ground or Chunks

    Raw buffalo or beef - NOTE: I recommend if giving raw red meat to only do so 1-2 times a week. I have found lighter meat to be easier on their digestion. However a little variety is healthy.
    Organ meat - liver, hearts

  • Greens /Vegetation

    About 5% of a cats diet should include some greens.

    Since we are providing the meat for our cats we can not feed them the entire herbivore including their intestines which contains greens and foliage.

    Having a peat pot of wheat grass and or fresh cat nip plant is always a nice way to provide some greens.

    Some cats love veggies such as carrots.green beans, berries and melons. These foods are fine for them as well.

    Cats can also have a small cat sized veggie shake

    Coconut water, Dandelion Greens, What Grass,and 1-3 leaves of Freshly cut Catnip
