Raw food diet for your cat!

We believe in feeding raw cat food to all of our cats and kittens, as cats are obligate carnivore’s we want them to have the best possible diet and by feeding raw it replicates what they would eat in the wild.

Below is a paragraph taken from the Purrform website one of the raw food suppliers we use.

Cats are obligate carnivores and their systems have evolved from thousands of years of eating a raw food diet in the wild.

In their natural habitat, cats consume prey high in protein with moderate amounts of fat and minimal amounts of carbohydrate.

The natural diet of cats in the wild is a meat based regimen eg, rodents, birds, rabbits, lizard, insects etc… that contain little carbohydrate therefore cats are metabolically adapted to preferentially use protein and fat as energy sources.

From time to time, and as the mood takes them, they may nibble on herbs, grasses and even flowers. However, cats possess very few digestive enzymes for breaking down vegetable matter.

Cats’ digestive systems are finely tuned to handle things humans can’t. Their stomachs have a highly acidic environment, which is an excellent deterrent to ingested bacteria and therefore they are ideally adapted to eat raw meat.

It is perfectly natural and safe for cats to eat raw meat, bone and organs as they would with their prey.

They have been doing it for millions of years, after all.
