MEAT THEIR EXPECTATIONS

Have you had your light bulb moment about feeding your cat?
Cats are obligate carnivores. Let’s try and understand that statement better. When people refer to cats as obligate carnivores, they are attempting to emphasise how distinct cats are from many other meat-eating predators.

What is an obligate carnivore, and how does it differ from a regular carnivore?
Obligate means "by necessity” - In other words, restricted to one particularly characteristic mode of life & bologically essential for survival.

It's easy to see how obligate and carnivore go together. Cats must consume meat; it is a biological requirement. This may come as a shock to some of you, but, there’s no such thing as a Vegan Cat!

An adult cat needs to eat 3% to 5% of its body weight, while a kitten needs up to 10% of its body weight as they grow. Commercial and processed pet food contains a lot of ingredients that the cat's body cannot make use of, it will make them feel full for a while before they become hungry again.

What's a Raw Diet?

A raw meat diet should consist of foods that have not been cooked or processed anyway. Typically, a complete and balanced raw diet, is formulated to mirror a cat’s ancestral diet (species appropriate diet) consisting of meat, organs, and bone. These diets are high in protein and nutrients, which promote optimum health. Raw diets are also high in moisture, which helps keep your cats well hydrated.

A meat based diet digests more gently and efficiently, which can be beneficial for cats who have digestive issues. Cats' digestive systems is specifically adapted to eating raw flesh. They have the shortest digestive tract in relation to body size of any mammal. When your cat is completely on a raw meat based diet, you may notice that their stools are less frequent as their body utilises so much of the food.
