they are kittens...about 10-12 weeks old... the vet told me that if i want to prepare their food myself i should cook the meats rather than give them to them raw. but i have heard that raw foods do great things for animals. and i want them to get the full nutritional benefit of the foods they are eating. i am thinking that i might still cook certain foods for them to soften them up.... for example broccoli, carrots, might feed them some cooked brown rice.... etc. what other foods would you reccommend for my kitties? ive heard about raw eggs, raw wheat germ, bone meal, bee pollen, cooked millet, oats, greens, and even seaweeds. does anyone prepare their kitties food by hand, and if so what do you prepare? how would you reccommend going about the transition onto a whole food diet?

Re: transitioning cats to raw meats/fish?
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 9:29 AMI have just heard about an already prepared raw food for cats called Rad Cat. It's in Oregon, not sure if it's anywhere else. It's a great thing from what I hear. Have you talked to a naturopathic vet? They might have a different perspective than regular vets on the best time to start going raw with kittens. -
