Cat Feeding

A Simple Guide to Feeding Cats a Raw Diet

Cats are obligate carnivores — their bodies are designed to eat meat, bone, and organs. A raw diet supports their natural biology and overall wellbeing.


Benefits of Raw Feeding for Cats

  • Improved coat condition
  • Better hydration
  • Reduced stool odour
  • Natural weight management

What a Cat’s Raw Diet Should Include

  • 80% muscle meat
  • 10% bone
  • 10% offal (5% liver, 5% other organs)

Transitioning Cats to Raw

Cats can be fussy, so a slow transition works best:

  • Start by mixing small amounts of raw with their current food.
  • Increase the raw portion gradually over 1–2 weeks.
  • Warm the food slightly to enhance aroma and appeal.

Foods to Avoid

  • Cooked bones
  • Onions and garlic
  • Highly seasoned or processed meats

Start Simple. Stay Consistent.

Cats often prefer smaller, more frequent meals. Keep things simple and let them adjust at their own pace.
