just curious how does the cost of doing this compare to buying raw cat food
Too much complication creating cat food 😂
Awesome tutorial! I’ve recently transitioned my cats to a raw diet, but for now, I’m opting for a little less prep by using Viva Raw. 🙂 I’m trying to find the perfect balance when it comes to thawing and serving. What’s the longest your thawing container stays out of the freezer before your cats completely finish it? I’ve been trying to stick to 24 hours max…
I have three cats and am prepping each container to hold enough for a single meal for all three. I feed them twice per day. My idea is to keep two containers in the fridge at a time—-once one is eaten, I’d take the next out of the freezer. How do you manage this process?
I was feeding a bit of ground beef heart and liver on the side but my one cat ONLY wants to eat the raw food now, so its time to make her a complete food! I’ve had a little trouble finding the right raw bones but was able to get some food grade bone meal so I’m very grateful to see some information on how much to put in!
what’s the vitamin E for
~7:00 broth has carrots in it… is this like a nitrate preservative substitute similar to what bacon does with celery powder?
How do you warm up the cold refrigerated meat for your cats?
My Ragdoll won’t eat lamb kidneys, beef or chicken liver- raw or freeze dried. I think it’s the slimy texture. What should I do to substitute? She loves chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, pork loins, chicken wings.
I’m also curious, what size litter box are you using? Unless you have robot. Mine is 30×17, I like it as big as possible to put 2 bags of pine pellets so she can dig and have plenty of room. I see people have much smaller ones.
How do I transition my cats from kibble to raw
is this recipe ok to give to a kitten
How much heart do you use?
don’t give raw food to your dog or cat
The water i drain off after boiling pasta or potatoes seems to be great for cats. My cats seem to love it.
Our cats, we have six males, will eat chopped chicken liver and hearts. I use a premade raw cat food mix. They love raw rabbit meat, but it is challenging to locate. They also like raw buffalo and raw elk. They have never liked chicken meat, but they will eat other birds. My husband insists on giving them dry food, which I don’t like to do. I prepare 15 pounds of raw meat with the powdered supplement and 1/4 cup of fish oil. I place one cup in small freezer containers. They will eat one cup of raw food daily and clean the plates.
Please can anyone give advice, lost for what to do 😢 I’ve got a 12yr old cat that I’ve had for 11 years. 6 months ago I adopted a second 11yr old cat. We started by slowly introducing them, getting them to eat next to each other etc. They’re at a point where they’re fine in large spaces, and recognise each other, will eat together and occasionally sleep on same bed if I’m sleeping there (but the 12yr old will hiss a bit). However, whenever they’re sat waiting for food (they both are food obsessive), the 12yr cat growls and sometimes hits her. The 11yr old is respectful of her space and keeps her distance. What can we do to stop this happening and it escalating?
I will use up my leftover wet food (it’s a good brand apparently, more than 70% meat in the can) but I think it might be better to raw feed again. My previous cat really like it ☺️
No tail gang

Keep bird flu in mind. It is in season and identified in our meat right now (US/Canada) January 2025.
I would love to feed my cat a raw diet but meat is so expensive these days
My cat Jimmy is 11years and 10 months. He was diagnosed with diabetes this past June. I have him on both wet and dry food. If I begin to put him on raw food over time,could this reverse his diabetes?
Do they each eat one full bowl or is it divided?
What about worms in the raw meat?
thank u
thank you for this! it’s so good to see how easy it can be to make raw cat food and spread awareness of the dangers of dry kibble.
Are cats sterilized?
I love this video, how do you make to bone broth?
What about taurine? Cats need taurine in their diets to stay healthy.
My kitties are two boys from the same litter and they love each other so much. They are only 8 month and eat raw meat diet. I give them beef in chunks, chicken liver, a bit of chicken feet and head when it is available. Sometimes I add some dried fish instead of fish oil and kelp in powder form. Once a week they get a bit of finely minced garlic as pest repellent mixed in. To mix the broth already before freezing the portions is a good idea and to add eggshell powder as well. Any idea how much of the eggshell powder is required? I read in the comments, that beef tongue is also a recommended source of meat. Can I mix a certain amount into the mix or only give it from time to time as a treat?
Where have you got the mouse toy from? It seems very interesting making sound. Do you have a link to the article?
You should look into ground up eggshells instead of MCHA
Your cats live better than 15% (333 million) of the world’s children who live below the poverty line. What a time to be alive.
I have cats in year 2019 i made raw food that time for my cats also its almost 6 years and i forgot how i made
Hello. Thank you for the informative video. It seems you buy the meat frozen (when you’re cutting it seems hard)? If yes, that means you are defrosting the meat to prepare the meals and then freezing again the meat within the meals? I thought it wasn’t advised. My issue is that I can source all the meat and organs but only frozen, so I was wondering how it can be done if you can’t find the meat and organs fresh.
Need recipes for a toothless rescue
Is this food suitable for sterilized cats? Is it possible to make a video about the diet of sterilized cats??❤❤
Do you always use chicken? And are you still feeding raw with bird flu issue?
I can’t wait to make my cats home made raw cat food 💝 thank you for enlightening me with your deep understanding of what’s the best meat to get and where and why 🎉
why should they eat raw food give me diet with cooked food
This is really some dedication there… and a very large freezer space!
Everyone is banging on about dry cat food being bad for cats. Every cat I’ve owned was brought up on it. And none of those cats had health issues and all lived long and happy lives.
Hello! I am confused on the MCHA to use. You said 1/2 cap to 3/4cap per ounce of meat. I have seen others suggest like a capsule a day. The average 10lb cat eats around 5oz of raw a day … that would be 2.5 to 3.75 capsules a day. Could you please clarify? Thank You.
I found it a little bit funny that said, you are worried about your cats chipping their teeth on bone after you claimed the raw food diet makes their teeth healthier? 😂 You cats are huge they can handle bone and pre frozen meat.
I used to do the whole recipe but didn’t enjoy the time it took. So now I just get SAVAGE CAT raw. I just ordered Quail Eggs for her as treat. Hope she likes them!
thx for the info i have learnt soo much i might also get a ragdoll cat so i am learning from you ❤😊😊😊
Raw food is now unfortunately dangerous due to Avian Influenza which is a devastating illness for cats. Food must now be cooked to an internal temp of 165 F.
raw is risky because of salmonella e.coli parasites bacteria. If freshly butcher maybe ok but still parasites.
MCHA adds extra phos so I like rotating bw MCHA and eggshell powder 🙂 Thank you for the video!
Wait was that Gaia
Your cats are gorgeous!!
Thank you so much for your guide (: may I ask what temperature your cats eat the thawed meat at? I imagine that some planning is required on what time to take them from the freezer into the fridge to thaw, and also when to take it out of fridge to warm up. Can you just microwave it slightly to warm it up? As I imagine warm food imitates fresh meat better!
Thankyou. I see you do.not add taurine. Is it because the meats that you do have enough taurine,? Raw.
I see with cooked meats they add taurine. Does heat destroy taurine?
