sadly it's much harder with cats, they need a far more complex cocktail of ingredients than dogs, they can't manufacture their own taurine so need a supplement, I add taurine powder and omega oils to a 80-10-5-5 rough chop mince and hopefully they get what they need, it's not so important for the other two as they eat Iams/Canin in addition to raw so get what they need from that, but the monster in my Avvie eats exclusively raw
I also mix it up a bit with cheap white fish, sardines, and bone in chicken portions
I mix the meat with Chudleys Classic.
I'm allergic to cats but there's a huge black and white boy that 'lives' in the garden. He's a bit of a scrapper, one torn ear and I took him to the vets once because he had a shotgun pellet lodged in his neck (no chip). My partner took a piece out of the shed wall, so there's a hidey hole under his workbench (if that makes sense), he sleeps in there in the day and prowls by night. He's used to me but I think he's semi wild, I doubt he'd be happy to be rehomed but he's fine where he is. His coat is beautiful. I'll get a picture if I can.
Me too - they make me sneeze, big time. Isn't it weird how we can be fine around dogs (& other animals), though?
Good to see you've given your 'hobo' a place to lay his head. I guess you must be feeding him, too.
That made me laugh.
