Feeding raw meat to your
maine coons

Cats are carnivores and need meat. Too many of the dry foods that are out
there nowadays, are full of fillers and ingredients that are dangerous to
the long term health of your cat. It is just like with people....if they do not
eat right, they may be okay, but they may not. And if you love your cat, why
take a chance on their future?

For those who prefer to buy grocery store meats, there is a company who
sells a powder mix for that. Feline Instincts, in Texas, has a few varieties of
powder to fit your needs. They also sell a powdered liver (beef or chicken)
and a large squeeze bottle of salmon oil (saves pricking oil capsules for
each meal). Our cats do well on this, and love the flavor. Our kittens are
raised on this mix and really thrive on it.  You can buy this powder with the
liver included, as we do, saving yourself time.

Once a week we recommend feeding ground chicken or turkey necks with
nothing added. It is mostly bone with very little flesh, so it is not for
everyday feeding. The cats enjoy it very much though so a little once in
awhile is a good thing. You can buy necks in the grocery store and cut
them into smaller pieces if you like, your cat will love it! They can make a
mess dragging it around the floor though. An occational chicken wing (raw
only) can also be a good treat and although they take awhile to chew it all
up, they have a blast doing this.
