Do you have a food processor? We make turkey burgers and turkey meat loaf by chopping up fresh raw whole turkey meat with a Cuisine art food processor. It works really well for any meat that is raw – the best ground beef for hamburgers etc. So, a meat grinder really isn't necessary.
Also, I would recommend dipping the meat in boiling water for just a moment before grinding/chopping it because frequently salmonella bacteria is found on the surface of fresh raw poultry found in U.S. grocery stores. By dipping the meat in boiling water for just a moment, all surface salmonella/bacteria should be killed without cooking the meat through (to keep it raw). Bacteria is not generally found in the meat (i.e. muscle) itself.
did the cats eat the prepared raw food you got from the grocery store? this is pat. if they like it, remember what I told you. i will help pay for the meat grinder. let me know.
It sounds like it will take less time if you make your own cat food than going round all the pet shops who have no raw food. Worth giving it a go to see how long it takes and you can get the meat whilst you do your grocery shopping. Hugs for the cats
Wow, you're making me glad for my local pet food store, Pet Beastro. I don't purchase a lot of raw food, but I purchased bones and stuff for my pass dogs before and they've always been helpful. Whenever I have a question they are either know or find out.
Stella and Boo look up from the tray, their eyes lock, and they remember the days when they shared crunchies scattered on the patio.
Feeding the cats ordinary fresh meats may be a very good solution. Couldn't you prep it and freeze your own nuggets on a tray? Then pop them into a bag and they'll be handy. Certainly it should be far more economical. Not sure what you might have against rabbit; it is, after all, a rodent, and something cats often catch in the wild.
Maybe LF is the one who needs some CBD oil, then the cats can carry on and she won't care. 😉
Rituals like that with Splash and Simba is silly and cute.. My first dog we had..he developed an odd habit only with me in his later years..when I'd go say goodnight to everyone..he'd make sure he had a dog bone by him and when i said goodnight he'd growl..not mean like ..but he made sure he had a bone by him to make it like an excuse to do so..he only did it with me and it was weird but funny.
Awww…Splash licking Simba makes my heart melt…even if it is a precursor to wrasslin. 😉 Poor Splashy, he just wants to sniff Papa Boo, and gets swatted for his trouble. Boo! Be the love bug we know you are. Then next morning, he strikes out at Stella. Maybe he wants to let her know he won't be intimidated by her anymore. Weird. Then those two strike out at Boo. He may still have some thug in him, but he's getting mixed signals and is confused. He does try. Glad the kitties enjoyed their new meals. Betcha they'd like the chicken livers for snacks. Hope there was healing after the CBD oil. Sleep well!
Dang, that food situation is really frustrating! Since you can‘t buy packaged raw food for cats in Germany at all, I used to buy turkey and chicken meat and prepared it myself. I just put it in simmering water for 3 to 4 minutes and mix it with veggies. It keeps fresh for 3 days in the fridge or you can deep freeze it. It’s much cheaper and you know well what to put in it. My kitty was the most finicky eater you could imagine, but she loved this food (especially thuna…). She was even purring while eating sometimes 😸😻😽 Can’t you order the food online directly from the producer? That’s annoying to be driving around town just to hear from some employees „I didn’t know, I only work here“ 🖕 😳😟🤪- I mean, come on, are you kidding me ?! 🤢 I would probably freak out in the middle of the store….😡🤬😱🤢☠️👹
Cats do speak in a unknown frequency to us humans. I would like to be around when someone understand their way of communicating and can explain it to us lowly humans.
Awww Stella is spoiling simba. Such a good mom.
Splashy is so cute when he grooms Samba’s head. I love Boo’s Marshmallow belly.
Hydrox looks very happy and comfortable. He is really at home in your patio.

Lol. Picky picky picky eaters. Maybe the CBD oil will improve their appetite. Lucky ferals, listen to your Mama and eat your food🐱🐱🎃
Hahaha Boo always acting like it's the Boo show lol.
Awe Splash and Simba how cute being affectionate with each other.
At 9.00 when Boo moved at Stella and you asked what was that all about, Boo then glanced at Stella and back at you
saying "I was trying some of that cat on cat contact thing thay all do, I do not think that it went to well".
Splash is still nervous around Boo.

Hey they look like bad teeth lol
Boo reminds me of my little tux when he rolls over for pets. She had a little white patch between her back legs too.
Sweet fluffage of Da Fluffz!
12,000!! Congrats!!
PS: Lost phone keyboard. Have to cut and paste each letter from Calender entries. Laborious. Thanks for Oyster Festival!
I Love Chocolate Fest at Bethpage this weekend. Never been.
PREACH LUCKY, PREACH! THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME KNOWLEGE OF WHAT THEY ARE SELLING WHEN THEY WORK THERE! THAT'S RIGHT!

These kitties eat better than I do! 😅

Thanks for the idea about kneading the freeze dry ct food I will try that. Mine doesn't like the chuncks of any kind. Enjoyable video thanks.
Boo is becoming quite the spoiled house cat. He is a lucky feral indeed. ❤️
Stella and Boo eating off the red and white tray reminded me of Lady and the tramp so cute.
I didn't notice before that Boo has a patch of white hair between his hind legs.
LOL @ the rug off the pads. I would just give up on the raw. Too expensive. Too hard to find. Probably doesn't stay frozen in transit.
Darn a cliffhanger with the attempt at homemade raw food.

It is amazing how far Boo has come in over a year…he can't get enough of your pets!

Awww Splash and Simba really love each other. Cats can be really picky eaters. All beautiful cats.
Boo"It may be cliche but you can take the cat out of the street but you can't take the street out of the cat"😎😼👑
Splash and Simba are practising for their debut into the UFC,,,,

They will never get tired of eating crab legs, trust me.

Boo is a fussy eater!
