Thank you so much for your videos, the 1st time I owned cats I lived in the US, I had NO idea how bad the cat food was, how misleading. Makes me sad that I fed my 2 cats so badly. I am now back in the UK and I use a company called Bella and Duke. It’s raw food delivered to me frozen. It goes straight in my freezer. My cats love it! And are healthy and a good weight. No more kibble…. (Only if used in toys as a treat) I’m going to change to Ziwipeak after seeing your video. Let’s hope more cat owners find your channel and realise how misleading cat food labels are. I try to get all my friends to watch the documentary Pet fooled!…… Thanks so much…..

Thank you for your kind words!! I'm glad you found a good raw brand in the UK. I'll check them out and add to my reviews list. I think air dried ziwi peak would make a great kibble sub for treat release toys. Or you could do freeze dried raw. Pet fooled is what started my cat nutrition journey back in 2017!

Hello Jess again! I’m watching your videos and noticed this was from a year ago. The video I watched before this, you said that you are giving Jericho less powder nutrients and are feeding him more “whole prey.” Now I’m starting to get confused on what powder nutrients are needed and what isn’t needed. Do you have an updated video on what is essential and best for raw food diets. Didn’t know you could order mice for cats. This should be interesting! 😊🐈‍⬛

How do you feel about ez complete? I'm wanting to do the homemade raw diet and switch from primal but i need to simplify things in my life and the extra steps and prep work with grinding and having to put all supplements in one by one would be hard with my adhd and problems with executive function. He's got stomatitis, so how would i do this when chewing on meat chunks would be good for his dental health? Cannot find a vet nutritionist locally or i would go to one, so I've just been feeding primal since it eliminates all the extra prep work needed when doing homemade or Frankenprey raw.

I warm up the pinkie mice, but I do not warm up his food. I should warm it up though. Perhaps next time I sort out his food I'll put them in individual jars (rather than daily servings in each jar) so I can warm up the meat a bit while still in the jar.

What would you feed your cat if you are trying to keep them on a urinary preventive care diet? My cat developed an UTI from eating a certain brand with the color Blue in its name. Then I find out Royal C is not good for your cats either, first few ingredients are awful for your pets, I don't understand why it is so highly rated by Vets!
@jesscaticles
@jesscaticles 3 года назад
Hi Cathy, Veterinarians are medical doctors, not nutritionists. So they rely on the pet food manufacturer to tell them what's good and what isn't good. Billion-dollar companies own the cat food brands you mention. So they have the money to do clinical feeding trials. They usually feed their "prescription" food and a very generic lower quality food (if lower quality was even possible!). So of course one of them will be better. Vets want to see the hard data. And those billion-dollar companies can pay for it. They are also sponsors of the American Veterinary Medical Association. So they have a very heavy influence on vets. I did a lot of research on this topic, if you are interested in reading more: www.caticles.com/vet-recommended-cat-food-is-garbage/ The best urinary care diet is high moisture, high protein, moderate fat, and ideally no carbohydrates. This is the best diet for ALL cats. You can check out how to support your cat's urinary system here: www.caticles.com/urinary-care/.

I am leaning more on giving wet food and less gf kibble. Havent tried Raw foods yet. I didnt know that dry kibble could also have Salmonella? I feel so bad for those cats in the UK and their owners. I have a multi cat household. In switching to Raw would u still have to add the extra vitamins & taurine as u portion it out to them slowly, meaning if u are offering Tiki cat for example & u add 5% Raw would the Raw food need to be with the extra vitamins & taurine?

@@debbieshomes6984 Hi Debbie, thanks for your comment and kind words!! Jericho is my precious baby boy 😻 You are correct that you would introduce raw foods with the additional vitamins and minerals. But that's only if you're using Hare Today as I do in this video. If you choose a raw food brand that's already complete and balanced, you would not need the additional vitamins and minerals. So far this year there have been more recalls for kibble than raw. Midwestern pet foods alone have recalled hundreds of kibbles due to potential salmonella contamination. But when raw recalls, it's only a handful of products. Very crazy! At the end of the day, any wet food is better than dry. Simply because cats rely on food for moisture. But just FYI "premium" on the label means nothing according to AAFCO. Thanks again for your support and kind words!

Check out this video for raw cat food brands: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ju11GwhhRGQ.html If you were to make food at home, you need to incorporate all aspects that would replicate whole prey. The natural diet is more than just meat. Also, if you're cooking it's important not to cook bones. Raw meaty bones are fine, as long as you don't feed weight-bearing bones. But cooked bones can splinter and cause harm. It's important to balance this properly too because too much bones can cause problems. There are vitmain/mineral premixes available online. I'd suggest testing making cat food using premixes first. An unbalanced diet can cause problems. Check out my guide here on how to use them: www.caticles.com/benefits-of-homemade-cat-food/#recipes

Hey Jess. I have a question? So the glass jars u use to put the food in, you said u put a days worth of food in these freezer jars and that is about 5 ozs for each jar generally speaking. On Amazon the jars highlighted are smaller than the ones u use (4 oz. green lids) but the description on Amazon says 4 oz/8 oz.) I am trying to figure out how to order the exact same jars u have because obviously 4 oz isn't large enough to hold the amount of food u feed Jericho ? Sooo, i'm a bit confused i guess. I am detailed oriented so i may be your problem student going forward. I'm also trying to find your video that shows the push up ice trays?? I just read your response to Grace's question so thinking i need to followup with that video. 😁
@jesscaticles
@jesscaticles 3 года назад
In this video I am using old salsa and jelly jars that I've saved, washed, and reused. But technically they are not freezer safe. So that's why I put the link to jars that are freezer safe. Since I made this video I've updated Jericho's portioning. I am now putting 1 serving in ice cube trays and 2 servings in the jars. I've also updated the amount of food being fed. 5 oz was way too much for him but I was still figuring out how much was correct when I made this video. I plan to make another video with an update to Jericho's diet sometime next month. But I'd suggest 1-2 servings in each jar rather than putting the entire day's worth of food (like I do in this video). Sorry for the confusion but I will make an updated video soon!

Great information even if probably useless for me, but I might try one more time. Obviously, vegan; whole mouse is a bit too much for me to stomach plus my abandoned cats are real proficient at killing birds and lizards but have yet to figure out they can eat them too. I also only feed twice a day because my not-at-workplace schedule and their 'hungry' schedule usually don't mesh and ants/roaches/flies are a real issue. Tried keeping inside, but home owner was not happy (plus vomit cost me several hundred to clean up rug) and the two cats barely tolerate each other's presence. They are permanently 'outside cats' now and yes I'm aware of the dangers. Nothing I can do but put out 'safe structures' for them with some weather/temperature relief. Younger cat (gobble/vomit if given over 4oz) refuses several tries at slow transition to raw meat. I tried even as little as 1/4t and he'd eat around it. Mix it into the cooked and he would snub the whole lot. Can and will go a week without eating at all (at least from our house.) Older cat (barely eats 1oz) used to want only Stella & Chewy's frozen chicken nuggets and Select, but suddenly stopped and now both only want Tiki Cat Succulent Chicken canned. They don't even care for fish. Never had cats like this before! I can get the younger to eat some hydrated S&C freeze dried, but only in combo with the Tiki. I'm certain they are both eating crappy dry food put out by well-meaning but ignorant neighbors for stray cats because sometimes they vomit up some truly colorful combos. Both cats are 10.5 lbs at optimum weight. Getting these cats to eat even half-way decently is a real chore. Is this what parents of toddlers and rebellious teens go through? :( What brand of digital scale is that? I once looked them up, but the bad reviews were a put off.
@jesscaticles
@jesscaticles 3 года назад
I mentioned in another comment response to you, but all cats develop pickiness in their lives. It's likely due to the dry food that's left out by neighbors. Cats get addicted to those flavor enhancers. The digital scale is in the description. I've had it for months and it works great!

if you can’t afford to feed your cat a raw diet every day, would it be okay to buy raw foods/meats occasionally and give it to them here and there, alongside their regular wetfood, for enrichment?

Yes absolutely! Fresh food toppers are great. Some fresh food is better than no fresh food! My video for this Saturday is all about that so stay tuned!

@jesscaticles
@jesscaticles 3 года назад
I give 1 minnow a day. I haven't been giving the green tripe as often maybe a few times a week is fine. As long as treats don't exceed 10% of your cat's total daily intake it should be fine.

Hi Jess, Does Hare Today treat their meat to prevent pathogens, like salmonella and e coli? If not, do you disinfect the meat somehow? I buy from Darwin's right now and they treat with organic acids. However, their meat choice is very small and so im thinking to try Hare Today. Thanks!

There is no need to treat meats. Just practice safe handling and feeding. And wash your hands after cleaning the litter box.

So if you feed the minnows you don’t have to include the fish oil? Would it hurt if you did both?
@jesscaticles
@jesscaticles 3 года назад
I personally don't include fish oil because Jericho eats whole prey (the stomach contents include predigested plant matter which has been converted to EPA/DHA). So if you are not feeding whole prey, you wouldn't include fish oil as well.

Love your channel! Thank you for this incredibly informative video! Jess, do you have any idea where European options for specialty items like this may found? Or best pre-made raw food companies here? I've done a bit of searching but not come up with much. I am in Serbia and will make some of my own food but would really love the convenience and additional variety of having some good companies like this to order from. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

@jesscaticles
@jesscaticles 3 года назад
Millionaire?! LOL I am insanely far from being a millionaire. You can feed a 100% raw diet to 1 cat for less than $1,000 a year. You don't need to be a millionaire. The average American spends more money on soda and coffee! Check out this video to see how much a raw diet actually costs, plus average health issues for cats costs: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-czB_owuxBic.html The best thing to do is learn how to read cat food labels properly. That way you can find something that's actually good quality. One example is that the word "premium" on the pet food label means nothing according to AAFCO. AAFCO has many rules and definitions that all pet food manufacturers have to follow when creating and labeling the product. Here's my playlist for that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3TfenJ7op0U.html

I believe what they mean is not to mix it with other vitamin/mineral supplements.

Is it okay for them to eat fish and mouse bone? I worry if they choke. I want to try to feed my cats with raw food after learning dry processed food is not good for them. Btw your cat is so lucky to have you that you look after his health you don't just give him just food but healthy food. 😊 I want to do the same with my cats
@jesscaticles
@jesscaticles 3 года назад
Aww thank you for your kind words!! I am very lucky to have him in my life. Whole fish isn't the greatist idea for a few reasons.. Cats form an addiction to fish and this can cause pickiness. Also, fish is high in thiaminase which destroys B vitamins and cats need higher amounts of these. However, freeze-dried minnows are fine as treats. And I actually give these to Jericho every day. Mouse bone is fine because this is exactly what cats eat in the wild. You would just have to introduce it slowly so your cat understands he has to chew it. Start with pinky mice and move up from there. Since you're interested in starting on raw, check out my playlist here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SMHYEMFmjV4.html

I'm going to slowly put less kibble each day so hopefully, he will learn to eat the wet food but I'm thinking of going with the freeze dried food you mentioned in one of your videos if it doesn't work. They drink a lot of water though and I noticed their poop is kind of watery :/
