Yes, very well. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. Not much luck getting the cats to eat bones. Lily and Bandit will, but the problem with that, as I suspected, is that Lily drags anything that isn't ground up under the covers of my bed, eating some immediately, and stashing some for later. I would love for her to have the benefits of bones, but not so much that I'm okay with finding her treasures under my pillow.
Still loving the fact that the cats' coats don't mat anymore, and that their poop is not so smelly. I'm also getting a better idea of what a correct portion looks like. I think that initially I was putting down too much food, and then panicking when they didn't eat all of it. It takes a while to shake the "free feeding" mindset, in terms of how much to feed at each meal, and way too easy to offer what should be a day's worth of food all at once.
Thanks for checking in!
As far as the bone issue... sometimes you have to find something that works for the furkids AND you... especially with a houseful. I get it.
When I started out feeding raw... I think I fed a total of 6 or 7 ounces each-ish a day for the cats. (The total amount is a lot less now.) Anyway, when feeding 3 meals a day, I had a VERY difficult time wrapping my head around such small amounts.
Even though I knew I was feeding them (cats and Lacy dog) pretty much more then the average daily amount... meals seemed soooooooo small.
Weighing everyone once a week, helped me to know what I was doing was right. It is also good to make sure no one loses or gains too much weight too fast.
