I've got 4 cats, all moggies. The oldest is 19 & 1/2 and has all his own teeth, the kitten is now 10! and I have one that we don't know his age but he's at least 6.the last one is about 14 and has 2 teeth at the back, one on the top and one on the bottom. He lost his teeth due to his jaws, he's a DSH x oriental and has 1 jaw that corresponds with each breed so his teeth never met, eventually he got gum disease and his teeth started to come out. He suffered with lots of absesses and trips to the vets, he had to have steriods for a kidney problem and the vet warned me it might affect his teeth that were left. The vet never took a single tooth out and the cat always ate even when he has a huge absess forming (the cat has problems when he's under as we found out when he had his kidney problems) He was a rescue cat and most of his problems had been caused before I'd got him due to poor diet and his jaw shape. The vet was happy for his teeth to come out naturally as he didn't have any problems. He's also blind in one eye as well, lol.

Does anyone feed a raw diet to their cats? Mine are on Hills i/d at the moment due to illness but I have just started my dog on raw food and was thinking about doing the same with the cats. They've already stolen some from the dog so have go the taste for it! Anyone got any opinions???

Any raw food is beneficial to your pets, it is the most normal food for them. If your cats like it then it certainly wont do them any harm. If they are having their other food as well, all their vitamins etc will come from there and the raw food will provide protein and bulk. Though if you start feeding them raw food you obviously will have to cut down on the other, otherwise bulk wont be the word obese would......lol

Do you feed raw to your cats? What do you feed?
