You know all too well that cats are the fickle beasts. On some days they will eat all their food happily and other days they will give you THAT LOOK; the look of utter disappointment, then walk off in disgust. This will be the same with raw feeding... We are changing your cat’s diet. We can’t change your cat ;-)
Compared to dry or pouch cat food - both of which have a strong smell - fresh raw meat has a very faint odour and quite a different texture. As a result, some cats simply won’t recognise raw meat as actually being food when they’re first exposed to it. For this reason it’s sometimes necessary to increase the smell a bit with another, more pungent addition.
You can use whatever favourite food you know your cat likes as a bribe to encourage them to take the raw plunge. Some suggestions are:
Add our SUPER SPRINKLES
A drizzling of oil from a tin of plain sardines or mackerel (don’t use tuna as it is too high in mercury and not good for cats)
A smear of processed cat food jelly or sprinkling of crushed kibble
Some smashed canned sardines, anchovies or herring
A teaspoon of our TASTY BROTH
Whatever other favourite treat you know your kitty loves (don’t use dairy as cats are naturally lactose intolerant)
The best thing you can do is read our Cat RAWPLICITY Guide, which is sent to you to download with your first order. It's full of useful info and takes you through the switching process whether you are a regular raw feeder or totally new to raw food.
And be patient - you know what cats are like - and you know what your own cat is like. But it is important never to try and starve a cat into switching.
