My cats aren't picky eaters so I transitioned just b y giving it to them. They've always had bowl issues with chronic diarrhea and that night going to raw they had firm stools.

@consueloenlatierra6680 2 года назад

Tips: first change from dry food to wet food, then add to wet food small amount of raw, stop free feeding, set regular time, have raw food for only 16m max outside, transition time can take 3 weeks or up to 6 months will depend on your pet behavior, be patient!!

@beepbeep6201 6 лет назад

i guess my cat's an exception? lol she took no time whatsoever to transition. the first time i gave her a piece of chicken heart as a treat, she almost ate my finger from how excited she got 😂😂😂 she loved it the moment i gave her the premade one i bought (primal turkey formula). she got tired of it or smth eventually so i had to change back to wet. definitely wanna go back to raw though!

@miriamtejeda359 7 лет назад

My cat had kibbles for about a month, then i totally changed to wet food, then my cat just started ignoring wet food. After i started noticing that he wasn't interested anymore I bought store raw meats and mixed and ate them as if it were no tomorrow. he loves raw.

@irpassentino 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for all your videos! I am studying nutrition (for people) and I just got a kitten last week and realized I knew NOTHING about nutrition for my kitty! Eager and excited to begin this transition!

@petertremblay3725 5 лет назад

What people don't get about raw food for cat is that you can use a few spice to enhance the taste just avoid garlic or Onion. You can also add pumpkin or any type of squash carrot and brocoli but stay clear from sweet potato since first cat cannot taste sugar of any sweet food and second sugar is not good for cat even sugar from fruit or veggie. Another excellent way to get them to eat the new raw diet is to sprinkle beer yeast on top of their raw food and i don't know any single cat who will not go crazy about beer yeast, both my cat lick my fingers until they are clean of beer yeast.

Just wanna say thank you so much for making everything in details!! Though I’ve watched many videos from different people, and read many websites, I found yours the most helpful. I’ve been feeding my two kittens(brothers) raw food for two weeks now. Surprisingly it only took them a week to complete the transition from wet food to raw food! And I’ve noticed some very positive changes! Even when I used to feed them one of the best quality wet food, they eat a bit, leave, then come back again to eat more. For the raw food, it only takes them a minute to wipe out their bowls! And this is not an exaggeration because we’ve actually timed it 😂😂😂 Also their fur has already gotten even softer than before, and their poo tray does not smell at all!!! Their poo tray is in our en suite bathroom, and we used to be able to smell it while laying on our bed, but now we can’t even smell anything when we’re inside the bathroom. Thank you so much again!!!

You are amazing. I love how you give facts about cats; very clear, very informative and with deep explanations why having this knowledge is important. I just adopted a cat and he is a bit on the chubbier side- I've been looking up how to correctly feed him. I am SO HAPPY I came across your channel. SO helpful and I want the best for my new feline companion, and I feel like this will help provide me with the skills on how to do so. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom, Thank you!

great video. i have been transitioning my 2 fur babies from wet to raw. they are rescue cats ages 5 and were on dry food from the beginning of their life. one is a kibble junkie. so she has been more difficult for her to accept the wet food. crushing the dry is a great idea. so many helpful ideas.

I’m just now starting mine on raw, but they’re already used to eating wet food with Instinct brand grain-free, high protein kibble pressed into the top. I’m hoping that will make it easier. I’ll definitely be watching the warming how-to next. (They already have great coats and poops, both of which happened after I got them onto the Instinct. Before that, the smell could peel wallpaper.)

this is fantastic! i have a cat who was neglected a kitten and she has never eaten wet food. she's recently been diagnosed with asthma and i want her to start eating more healthy, but find it hard because she refuses to eat meats. it's so strange, she won't eat or lick chicken, turkey or anything. i hope this method will help her transition.

@NeonAera 5 лет назад

Will definitely try your tips. My 18ish yo family cat has been puking a lot lately, also meowing with a loud moan-like cry at certain times of the day.. He also seems depressed. Took him to vet several months back to get shot and check up; according to vet, he has stage 1 kidney fail.. I think it's his kibble food and the free-feeding unfortunately. Gonna try to transition him into raw very soon.. Hope he feels better. I could tell the little guy is in some kind of pain. Anyway thanks a lot for the advice, Jasmine! Gave you a thumbs up :)

Kibble killed one of mine and made two others very sick. They are going to keep selling it as long and they are making money on it. Worst possible food anyone can give a cat. They are CARNIVORES.

@@rockie6890 wow, so dorry to hear. Glad I stopped free feeding kibble and stopped it altogether too. Just on wet food now and some freeze dried raw which most of my cats really love

@ginamiller6754 4 года назад

I just found your channel & am ready to get started on the path to feeding my cats a healthier raw diet. First off, I have 10 indoor only rescues!! 🤦🏼‍♀️ What got me really thinking about diet is my Siamese (mix?) got very sick last November. On first site, the vet didn’t think she would make it 24 hrs. It also was during Thanksgiving week, so some days we were on our own. I’m an RN, so I’m comfortable with IVs & also giving any medications. She went from a 105.6 temp to vomiting to diarrhea & of course did not want to eat anything. I was giving her daily or twice daily supplemental fluids. Finally on day 8 she started to perk up & we all stood & watched her eat with tears running down our faces. Since then I have tried a freeze dried raw food which is extremely expensive & they were not pleased.

@cindyloomis9096 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. I have had cats from the age of 5 yrs old. I lose them on average of 11 yrs. I always believed that store bought foods were giving them cancer and wanted to transition them to a better diet. I currently have 3 over the age of 10. My male (Leo) is too skinny rarely eats, and litter mates Callie (diabetic) and Miss Tiger (medipausial over weight, snores). Callie (my bully when cutting up chicken, give me a piece now) cat, would not be a problem to transition to raw but the other's will take cunning. I started putting sardines in the food and will be removing the "free feeding". I will also try the cat nip idea. Miss Tiger has already stopped snoring (after a week) I'll bet it was food allergies. I think this is actually cheaper. I can't afford to feed Callie diabetic cat food and when I researched it they indicated that she would benefit from a high protein diet. Bless you for caring about our cats.

@She7Dayli 4 года назад

I NEEEEED THAT SHIRT!!!!! Lol💕 but I’m transitioning my kitties rightnow, my girl cat would throw up from kibble all the time! Broke my heart cause I couldn’t figure out if was from the kibble or from the wet food, she would eat them interchangeably throughout the day but now I know for a fact it was the kibble. My boy cat will literally eat anything lol he’s a MaineCoon so he has no stomach problems lol, But I made your raw cat food recipe, and I mix a little of the wet cat food with the raw food until I can just give them the raw food by itself, and they literally swallow it whole! And now yell at me in the morning to feed them more of that fresh food! I’m so happy my babies will be healthy now & I’m saving money!😍 one batch cost me $22 for all the meats & organs which gave me 5 bowls and 1 bowl of it lasts for a week!🙌🏽

@candacesuessmilch9414 5 лет назад

i transitioned my cat from dry to homemade cooked over the course of a year and now he loves his cooked food. Can I transition to raw by cutting down cooking time so the meat has some cooked aspect and some raw until I can stay fully raw?

@puyattravels5961 7 лет назад

Hey Jasmin!! Another informative video. I was in need of it last week. :P Stytch was a bit stressed from the plane trip and new setting that he didn't eat his food for about 24hrs. He ate very little and was getting concerned. Had to resort to dry food and worked back in the coming days to wet and raw. I have been having problems with Whole Food fulfilling my special ordered meats. Have you shopped at other stores? Whole Foods is the only place that would grind meats for me.

@CatLadyFitness 7 лет назад

Aw yeah he was probably stressed ;( And it's good to know Whole Foods grinds for you! But I'm sorry they are the only place... I've only tried Publix in Florida. I have one go-to store because the willingness of the meat dept to grind things up totally depends on each store (I think I talked about this in one of the last Q+A's). Maybe you can try a local butcher shop or grocery store? I hope things work out! Give Stytch love from Puppy and me!

@UknownWorlds 3 года назад

The things we need to do for our kitties. My goodness ! I'm feeding mine natural food but cook it in the middle so he can acquire that taste. I added lil bits of peas,carrots,pumpkin, and cucumbers. He ate it only when it was in my hands. Otherwise he wouldn't touch it. Such a baby my gosh !!! Lol

@whitneybuxton6162 6 лет назад

Guess I’m more absolute with my cat but to transition her, since she was already free feeding dry kibble and got wet food in morning and evening I first took away dry food, then the next change was making her hungry, she got her morning serving of wet food but not the evening and in the morning of the next day she got her wet food serving with the raw food encompassing 1/3 of the portion of wet food mixed together. She didn’t wanna eat that all day but I left it with her overnight and it was gone in the morning. Then I scale it up to half of the wet food potion being raw meat, as well as the whole portion of wet food, about an ounce was in each serving of wet. She ate all this too and now she’s good about eating quickly all her food, getting a bit over an ounce of wet food and 25g of raw food twice a day. Soon I’m changing it again to only one serving of wet with 25g of raw mixed in the morning and 30g raw meat in the evening.

@PerfectPitch62 5 лет назад

Jasmine, I have questions about how to transition my cat from wet food to raw food. To start, do I set out pieces of raw thigh, hearts or liver next to his wet food plate to get him used to the smell? In this process, when would it make sense to make a batch of raw food to introduce into his wet food? Thanks. D.

@ricknowak4582 2 года назад

My cat's eat right out of the refrigerator basically! I try to at least take it out of the frigerator for 15 or 20 minutes but sometimes I'm I'm in a hurry. But they have no problem eating the cold. I would say that I feed them "chilled" raw food. No problem.

@lsolidum8942 5 лет назад

New cubbie here! We have 2 kittens, a 5 month and 3 month old ragdolls. Are they okay now to start eating raw or should we wait til they're 1 yr old to transition to raw? They are eating both wet and dry food. Thanks for your videos, really informative!

My cat is a fat cat and she had no problem transitioning from dry to wet to raw. In fact she thought it was delicious and is always obsessed with food but not necessarily “hungry”. What should I do

@MandyRoy425 6 лет назад

My cat is going on 12 years old and I decided to transition him from kibble to raw 2 and a half weeks ago. I wish I had seen this video before, as I definitely didn’t go about it the right way. I took the kibble out almost entirely right away - I only gave him a tiny bit of kibble with a mix of raw meat and a soft wet food that I know he likes (because I sometimes give it to him as a treat). It took about 4 days before I was only throwing in 1 piece of kibble, and then was feeding just a mix of raw and wet food. I am still feeding him a mix, but I keep reducing the wet food gradually. That being said, I have to mash up the raw meat and even add water to it and mix it with the wet food. The wet food he likes has a mousse texture and he doesn’t seem to want anything but that texture. There are tiny pieces of what I assume is bone and/or organs in the raw food that I purchased and he refuses to eat them. I know he needs that nutrition and I don’t know how to get him to eat it. I tried putting the raw meat and the wet food in the blender, but I had to add quite a bit of water in order to get it to blend properly. He didn’t seem to like it, and I assume that’s because I watered it down too much. Help! :(

@anisamohtadi2631 3 года назад

Hello! 😊 I'm also transitioning my cats to raw/homemade with the help and advice of a nutrionist vet. And something that I learned after one of them threw up, and you can read a lot about it online, is to never MIX kibble with the raw food. That is, don't feed a food that is high in carbs with the good quality food that is mainly protein. They have different digestion times. And it's not good for them. Dr. Karen Becker at MercolaHealthyPets also has very interesting videos of how to transition them and she has great tips. You can find them in RU-vid!

@Butwanna 6 лет назад

Hi, new subscriber after finding your video on making the raw food. Regarding this video....I was told that a "domestic" cat needs to eat something every 3 to 4 hours because of the way their stomach acids work. That if they don't, they can get digestive problems including a sickness where they vomit their food back up all the time because the digestive system is no longer working correctly, (I had a cat I rescued like that, digestive problems after going long periods without proper food repeatedly). If true, then long periods (4-24) hours without food would actually harm them. I was told that is why they should always have some food whenever they want it because of the way their stomach acids work and so that the stomach acids don't cause problems with their digestive system. Was I misinformed?

@leezat2626 4 года назад

My cat is 11 years, and she is overweight. Loves her canned food, not too crazy about dry. I’ve started raw food 5 days ago, and she is still picky, but eventually she’ll eat it. I’ve noticed her dandruff is almost gone!!!! I’m determined for her to lose weight. I’ve mixed ground beef, blended egg yolks with chicken liver, fish oil, and vitamin B.

@monaghanim9011 2 года назад

Hi jasmin. I love the idea of raw food for my cat Riche who he weighs 8 kilos. He had liver problem months ago but he is fine now. I worry if I buy the chicken if it’s fresh enough, I don’t want him to get samolina . Can I use raw fish or meat? Although he loves raw chicken, he tries to steel a peace if I’m chopping it in the kitchen. '

Do you have a recipe for cats with renal failure?

@violettaw215 6 лет назад

Big probmem.... Since I started raw feeding my cat doesn't eliminate nearly as often. She is on raw for about a week. I followed your recipe with psyllium husk. She took to it right away (shockingly). She didn't poop for 3 days and finally went last night. Her feces are very little, much harder and dry. Should I worry? Should I do 50% wet can food (3 oz) and 3 oz at night of homemade wet food? I use venison Ziwi Peak and Feline natural. I want her to be on raw 100% of the time BUT!! I really worry about her NOT eliminating for three days in a row and her feces being so small, hard and dry. THANK YOU JAZMIN for educating and helping us take better care of our kitties !

@CatLadyFitness 6 лет назад

Violetta Andruszkiewicz i definitely suggest talking to your vet of course, especially if its on-going, but also make sure you're adding sufficient water to the food 😻 it could be due to using the psyllium husk. I hope your baby is doing better by now! And THANK YOU for watching!

@MrTrashcan1 6 лет назад

+Violetta Andruszkiewicz No need to go to the vet. Vets know nothing about feeding raw. What you observed was exactly what's supposed to happen. They won't poop every day because there's no need to. They absorb so much of the nutritional value that there's very little waste. So the poops will be far less frequent and yes, small, dry, and hard. Also they don't smell. That demonstrates how little they absorb of cooked food and how much waste there is. Raw food is the best thing you can do for your cats.

@Redridininyohood 5 лет назад

When feeding your cat a raw food diet they will eliminate less. This is largely due to the fact their bodies are using more of what they eat. It's normal. Google away :D

@rockie6890 5 лет назад

Violetta, for heavens sake stay away from dry food. I lost one from serious bladder problems and than two others came down with bladder problems because of the chemicals in it. Also, do not use litter with chemicals. One of mine started having seizures shortly after I started using a chemically treated litter. Shortly thereafter, came down with cancer and died. My Vet told me of three of her other patients that had the same problem. All started having seizures.

I got so stressed that I've been force feeding raw to my cat for a month now.... (before using chopstick and now using syringe) i know it's horrible I'm sorry but my cat is superrrrrr picky. Do you think I've ruined my chance completely of getting her to eat raw on her own now that she has bad experiences with them?

@litebrite8993 2 года назад

The worst thing you can do is to force feed your animal any food they don't like, you will only create an aversion both to the food and mistrust in you (How would you feel is someone tried to force feed you broccoli every day?) You will most likely not be able to feed them that particular brand of food ever again. Patience really is key, and plz ignore what the woman in the video said about cat's fasting, because it is NOT true that they can easily go 12 and 24 hours without food. In fact, cats are the one animals that fasting for longer periods is the WORST for them, and I know this for a fact because my kitty had Feline Leukemia in his intestines and he had to eat every 1 1/2 hrs! So, I learned a lot about how cats eat and their digestion and everything. Remember, your kitty is his own person, and if he's not taking to a food after a week or so of gentle trying, try a different flavor, or a different combo. Get them used to the smell and taste, there are lots of little tricks and tips out there. It can takes weeks or months to transition them, so be gentle both with your kitty and yourself. Good luck to you and your kitty!

@windblowsprk 7 лет назад

hi, so I just got a kitten on Saturday from SPCA, and he is only 8 weeks. it probably won't take as long, right? I also made a soft boiled egg, and he enjoyed the yolk, but I read they're not supposed to have so many eggs, do you have any advice on this?

@CatLadyFitness 7 лет назад

regina kennedy congrats on your furry baby! it should be much easier since he is so young. I also discuss this in one of the Q&A videos. As for eggs, the yolk is fine and good, but the egg whites (especially raw) are what you want to avoid feeding him. I'll make a video about this too. Thanks for watching! 😺

My cat won't eat any wet food, ive tried everything. He won't eat food if it's damp at all.. At least he drinks a lot of water during the day. Anyone with similar experience that coyld help me with some advice? (he isn't motivated by food at all - no favorite foods i could bribe him with :(

we don't even need to take away their food after a period of time, cuz our kittens just always finish all their food within a few minutes hahahaha

Is tuna considered raw food?

@rockie6890 5 лет назад

Dry kibble, any kind of dry is an absolute no-no in my house. I have had three different cats come down with bladder problems throughout the years and each of those times have been years apart for extremely short periods. Like one week? NEVER AGAIN.

Susannah Ayres-Thomas True, after 1 min or so in, interruptions are annoying and get steadily more so the more they happen...

@CatLadyFitness 6 лет назад

Hi Susannah! A few reasons! Out of respect for someone chatting/working in other room, potential dog barking (or running in to join the party), better sound, etc. I could have edited Puppy's interruptions out, but figured a few cat owners would relate 😹 thanks for watching!

@violettaw215 6 лет назад

Cat Lady Fitness I found Puppy's interruptions quite funny and entertaining. My boy used to do it. Miss that :( His sister doesn't but that's maybe because I live alone and have no need to close any of the doors haha.

I think that one of the reasons I like this channel is because they're not "dry" like so many others I've watched in the past. The host is down-to-earth, shoots videos in real-world situations, and she's freely sharing valuable information with us in real-world situations like these. I've learned tonnes here, and this channel is the reason I mustered the courage to try raw feeding in the first place. There are lots of other RU-vid videos out there that you may like better, but none as comprehensive and consistently informative as CatLadyFitness in my experience and opinion.

Can cats get sick from raw food? I really want to feed my cats the best diet possible but I'm worried that they could get sick from a raw food diet

@impmulcahy2844 5 лет назад

@Paul McCartney Check out Dr Becker on RU-vid. She has a 3 part series on what the best foods are to feed your cat or dog and why. I love Jazmin, her advise is 99.99% on the money, so you can trust what she says, but if you want the deep science, go to Dr Becker. Happy Cat Parenting!

@dustinmikesell7908 5 лет назад

cat eats mice, rats, birds.... do you think they cook it! Please feed your cat chicken heart and gizzards with some breast and small bone!! The cat will love you and then you can get away from the death kibble. We have all seriously been duped. Watch the documentary on Netflix called PET FOOLED. Good luck! Lots of research.

@rockie6890 5 лет назад

@@dustinmikesell7908 "DEATH KIBBLE" is sooo true. Causes bladder problems big time.Lost one fur baby that way, and it didn't take long. Another years later got into some dry, incurred bladder problem and she never used regular litter after that. Have to substitute rabbit bedding for that one cat which fortunately she uses to pee in and she still poops on the floor because I think she believes it was the litter that caused her pain. Not likely they will stop putting chemicals in litter that make cats sick. Money is more important to the manufacturers than the health of our pets.

@samuel escudero Boiling is the worst way of cooking the meat, as the taurine is water soluble and it will leave the meat. Roasting in the oven and using all the juices is best. I follow Lisa Pierson's method of partially cooking meat by roasting at 350F for 20 min, aiming for 10% surface cook to kill the surface bacteria; and use all the pan drippings in the food too.

@loriwilliams2167 5 лет назад

If my cat doesn't eat the raw food I can't save it for next meal right? You mentioned it having to be fresh.

@amandaciciotti3968 7 лет назад

Why can't you feed them the food while it's cold?

@BonesofStarlight 7 лет назад

Because in the wild, their food is body temperature. Like mice, or birds.

@johndoe4783 6 лет назад

Cats don't like cold food. They like warm food because it brings out the smells.

Hi My Name Is! A lot of people have said he looks to be a flame point siamese BUT I recently did a DNA test with BasePaws (check out the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K3RE0jaiw4A.html) so hopefully the results will be back to know for sure soon! Thanks for watching

The first time i tried transitioning my cats to raw i did exactly what u did (first time seeing this vid btw), put a tiny amount on their wet....they both VOMITED!! right away and then had terrible diarrhea. I have tried again with different brands, different proteins, making it..etc...they ALWAYS Vomit it and explosive diarrhea!! Why?? I want them on raw bc i believe is the healthiest. But they ALWAYS vomit and diarrhea. I have tried and tried...😞😪

@anisamohtadi2631 3 года назад

Hello! 😊 I'm also transitioning my cats to raw/homemade with the help and advice of a nutrionist vet. And something that I learned after one of them threw up, and you can read a lot about it online, is to never MIX kibble with the raw food. And when I say MIXED it means either feed at the same time or even without some 8 hours apart. That is, don't feed a food that is high in carbs with the good quality food that is mainly protein. They have different digestion times. And it's not good for them. And it may cause vomiting, gases or diarrhea. Dr. Karen Becker at MercolaHealthyPets also has very interesting videos of how to transition them and she has great tips. You can find them in RU-vid!

@ricknowak4582 2 года назад

Really?! Don't mix raw food with kibble? I mix just a little bit of kibble. He seems to like just a couple crunches in there with the raw food maybe he thinks it's bone hes chewing on I don't know.But I heard somewhere on RU-vid that it isn't that bad mixing the 2 together . of course I feed him a lot more raw food but I do feed him a little bit of kibbles. I will have to research this further.

Is it normal that my cat threw up when I switched him to raw food the first time?

@petertremblay3725 5 лет назад

Could be allergies so try switching the kind of meat to see!

@jadnshay4life 4 года назад

My Albert almost went a whole day without eating his raw food. Watched your video and put some of his tuna wet food on top and BAM! Score!

@ompk142 4 года назад

Please update when he goes on completely raw food . I have tried once and they are like what's this ill mannered food. Give us proper packet food... Will try your trick.

@harrw3168 4 года назад

Oh, so you also have an annoying cat. Mine wants always to go out, and when I am working by the basement window, he shows up to make sure I go outside to pet him and reassure him he is not alone. This happens constantly which confirms: Dogs have masters, cats have slaves.

@litebrite8993 2 года назад

The moment this woman said, "Cats can easily go 8 to 12 hours, even 24 hours without food" I knew to stop listening. This is TOTALLY INCORRECT and very bad advice! For clarity's sake as well as every kitties health out there, BE AWARE that cats are the one animals that going without food for long periods or skipping meals, is actually NOT okay because of how their bodily systems are set up. A cat's metabolism breaks down amino acids at a very high rate, which means they require more protein in their diets (and why in the wild they will hunt up to 8 - 12 small meals a day). Other animals are capable of adjusting their rate of protein breakdown when less food is available but cats can not. Cutting back a cat's diet or calories should only be done in accordance with a prescribed diet by someone that can judge the health of your cat. "The More You Know" 🌟
