Lucky-puppy,
You say that you feed your cat a raw diet. How much meat do you give? I have a weird cat that won't eat meat, and I'm worried that he isn't getting everything he needs. He will only eat dry cat food, fruits and vegetables. I've always heard that citrus smells made cats nautious, but he loves them. He gets hairballs easily, so the dry is Meowmix Hairball formula. It helps, but he still gets them at least a couple times a week. Any advice?
I know this is a dog forum, but I thought I'd ask since some of you have cats too.

My cat doesn't like raw all that much. That's why she gets both raw and cooked meals. I've discovered that if I make up a batch of raw food and freeze that way, soaking it in a plastic bag in boiling water for 5 - 10 minutes cooks it enough so that she'll eat it. My cat also loves taurine and sprinkling it with a bit of taurine powder supplement makes it more palatable. She eats about 6 to 8 ounces a day. Most cats only eat 4 to 6, but she goes outside most days and occasionally mouses, so she gets much more exercise than the typical indoor cat.
I would suggest visiting a few raw feeding sites:
catnutrition.org

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not on here everyday. You can pm if you have more cat questions or comments.

They can have skins.
Garlic - the jury's out on garlic. A very little seems okay, but not every day (unless being used medically) and definitely not lots.
Onions, grapes, raisins and chocolate are all very toxic to dogs.

Find the cause, find the cure.
A dog is never 'bad' or 'naughty'. It is simply behaving like a dog.
