cat food

[simba86]

hello,
i currently give my two cats raw food diet purrform- this was what they were feed when we adopted them, so we continued with it. our vet was against a raw diet but didnt offer any alternatives. we also are not keen on handling raw food, but not sure what alternatives there are. the everyday supermarket cat foods are clearly a downgrade and full of sugar etc, so wondered what other options there would be?
we have slowly introduced our cats to freshly cooked chicken, but that is fairly arduous and i imagine doesn't contain all the broad nutrients that would come with the raw food that includes ground bones and other organs (?).
any info/advice much appreciated.

Not all cats will accept bone and organ meat anyway, but if you want to cook for them there are people here who do for theirs but also the really easy way is to cook up muscle meat and add some stuff called Felini which contains all the extra things they need. I don't use it myself, for lots of reasons, though she does get a good portion of real meat on top of her commercial food. I'm actually a very bad kitty-mommy because she eats cheese, yoghurt, ice cream and butter, also tinned tuna, and licks mashed potato off my finger whenever we have it.

I cooked for mine using complete minces from Durham Animal Feeds - safer than raw, high quality and easy to balance. Now they are on various special diets life has become a little more complicated, but the DAF meats are still central to their diet.
