I do have a thread going, reporting my raw feeding progress. But I wanted to say this separate. I am ....stunned....absolutely stunned, by the difference in my cats, since adding some raw to their diet.
And they are only getting a small portion of raw daily, in addition to their canned diet.
So now....I begin to understand the passion that drives raw feeders. When you see improvements in a cat who never before seemed to do well, is one thing and certainly something to be thrilled by. But when you see the vast improvement in a cat who you didn't think needed improving, it really brings the message home.
I hope I will never become one of those annoying arrogant pushy types who thinks that anyone who doesn't feed raw is not taking proper care of their cats. But..I can kind of see how they become that way. Now that I am seeing these improvements in MY cats, I want ALL cats to experience these improvements. Not out of arrogance. But because I love all cats, and it would make me happy to know that they were all feeling as good as mine are starting to feel.
I just can't believe it! I can't take my eyes off of Struvite Kitty and Little Cat. Their physiques, their energy levels, their coats. Their eagerness to play, and the way they move. And now that Top Cat is getting some raw daily, I expect I will soon see improvements in her.
I just can't get over it. It's incredible.
And it makes me realize that, in spite of all my protestations to the contrary, I may eventually end up a frankenprey (prey model) feeder after all.
