There are currently three cats living with me. Two belong to a friend (Thorn and Lynx), and they are staying with me until their owner can find a place to live where she can take them. One is mine (Spike), and he has had digestion issues for a long time. I have been wanting to do a raw diet for him and have done a lot of research. I have also been collecting an assortment of meats and am almost out of kibble for them, so I figure once it's gone I will feed just raw and canned food.
The owner of the other cats has no problem with me feeding raw, and understands that it is healthy for the cats. Everyone, including mine, has had some raw before. Spike has learned how to take on larger chunks of meat, but I still can't get him to eat bones. My plan is to try to get him to eat pinkies or fuzzies to get him used to it. Until then, should I just make sure to feed them some canned food as well so that I know they are getting balanced meals?
What is the easiest way to feed raw in a multiple cat household? Do you just divide up meals and have everyone eat in the kitchen together? Generally, do cats know how much they need to eat on raw? I have exact measurements for Spike. He is ten pounds, in between the weight of the other two cats. Can I just eye-ball how much the other two should have based on his portion and watch their weight?
