RE: Raw Feeding Cats
To me, it seems obvious that the more closely we can come to feeding our cats what they would be eating, under optimum conditions, in the wild, the healthier they might be. Purely for the health and wellbeing of the cat, I think that raw feeding would be a good idea.

However, raw feeding is less convenient and, in most cases, more expensive than the other options available to us, and it might be a little messier too.

Options that might provide somewhat of a balance between pure raw feeding and the standard kibble and canned food fare might include Wysong, which offers packaged raw foods for dogs and cats, as well as 100% meat canned foods and kibble.

If my cats weren't doing so well on Blue Buffalo kibble and premium canned foods, I might be interested in trying Wysong's nutritional program.

It probably wouldn't be a simple switch, however. Accustomed to eating premium foods that include grains, starch, and other foods, your cat might actually resist raw foods or even 100% meat foods. I rotate Wysong products into my cats' diet every now and then, and I can't say that they are crazy about it. For that matter, Blue Buffalo's Wilderness brand, which contains a higher percentage of meat, and no grains, isn't among their favorites either.

For that matter, when I offer them raw food while cooking, they generally leave it lie there.

But that doesn't mean that it would be a bad switch. Like people, cats don't automatically know what is good for them, and what isn't, and a lot of what they like or don't like is based on what they have become accustomed to.
