Everyone
should be conscious of the
fact that cats are not omnivores like pigs. Cats
are carnivorous animals, which only nibble at grass and their
only vegetable intake is the stomach contents of their prey.
Cats need 80 - 90 % of animal protein! Regular dry
food contains mostly only 30 % meat, premiumfood
can contain as much as 40 - 50 % meat.
Therefore many
owners also feed
canned food in addition (please note that this canned food
should contain only meat - no cereals). An ideal
replacement for canned food is raw meat - beef, poultry
or rabbits.
Note:
- > fish
and pork must
never be fed raw.
- > all bones -
particularly poultry
bones - must only be served raw
Besides raw meat -
(frozen) chickens, chicks, quails and other poultry - our
cats sometimes get Miamor Fine Filets and
stewed fish. We don't feed dry food anymore.
For grinding chickens, quails and so on, we use a sturdy meat grinder:
Jupiter Universal Grinder 885.500 (German product).
With a plate: hole size 0.551 inches and a
two bladed knife this one
grinds chickens, quails, chicks and
rabbits complete with bones,
innards and skin.
