Salmonella strains are not particularly a problem to you, if you’ve had cats in your past. My cat is fed a T. Of plain nonfat Greek yogurt every night, before my bedtime. I mix it with a tsp. of cream to make it palatable. This is insurance that he/she won’t suffer from diarrhea after eating raw chicken.
Sorry for commenting on an old article, but I found it very useful and I will be keeping this for future reference! I haven’t got cats of my own yet, but when I do I will feed them a raw diet. I will give Mark’s recipe a try, just make much smaller batches since I am going to be only adopting a maximum of three cats. I have noticed that my local supermarkets sell all the ingredients, including chicken hearts and livers. I am in Aus, so I don’t think I will be able to get Kitty Bloom. If I can’t get my hands on Kitty Bloom, I will find some other complete supplement for cats.
Yep thats true, i guess in small amounts it might work.
I agree that cats won’t eat food that is contaminated badly.
Michael, we trust our cats to not eat bacteria-laden food. Have you ever seen a cat eat dog poop? I haven’t. 😉
Woops. That was not clear: Because our cats have such fastidious personal hygiene (most, anyway), and they have a particularly interesting immune system which is greatly tied to the Gut and their saliva, they are allowed to carefully clean their hinies, lick their fur till satisfied with the smell, and then lick our ice cream/yogurt cones. <3
