Raw is excellent for cats! In fact, I think raw is even more important than cats than for dogs. I believe dogs are carnivores but there is controversy over dogs being carnivores or omnivores. Technically dogs can survive on other things besides meat, bones, and organs...but of course I don't think that's healthy. Cats, however, are 100% true carnivores. They must have meat to survive. I definitely don't believe in feeding cats grains..I think it contributes to diabetes, stones, etc that we are frequently seeing in cats.
My cats eat NV raw. My oldest cat has had chronic allergies her whole life with a lot of hair loss and sores from scratching. I finally switched her to all raw (rabbit) and she is doing fabulous! In three months she has completely grown her coat back as thick as ever and isn't scratching anymore.
My youngest cat came from her breeder eating raw so she was used to it. My older cat I had trouble switching at first because cats can be so picky and will actually starve themselves to death. I switched her from kibble to canned food first which she was fine with. Then I very slowly started switching to raw. I would put a tiny amount of raw in the canned and every day added more and more and took the canned away. I eventually got her eating all raw and now she LOVES it!
