Portia is 15 and a small eater who likes 'real' food and still likes to kill and eat her own.
Obie and Ophie are now 9 months, and have constant dodgy tums. Morph was the same and I wonder if MC are prone to sensitive stomachs. They can't eat any supermarket cat food.. goes straight through them, even dried is hit and miss (and boy does the miss make a mess) and they have gone off Animonda which they originally tolerated reasonably well.
I am willing to try raw, because it seems a logical thing to do..but I'm not not sure how to go about it. They like a bit of chicken anyway.. gradually cook it less til it's raw and try tiny pieces? Do I just go to a butcher and buy heart (my Mum used to buy it for her cats but cooked it) liver etc. How about bones? I know they are designed for bone crunching but I'm not sure how to introduce it! I'd like to try slowly moving them to raw to see if it would improve the cat-shit-ometer factor. I have been much stricter with them recently ..removing food so it's not freely available between meals because they had got so fussy, but I don't want them just on dried . Ideally I think I'd like them to have some dried (so if we are away for the day I can leave a bit down) and some raw.
Any tips on how to start please?
