Diet

From what my research has shown,Trichinosis¹ is found in pork; therefore, pork is to be AVOIDED when feeding raw. Highly avoided! I would never give raw pork to my girls. In fact, when we do have pork at our house, I cook the pork chops so done, they are almost burned!!!

I personally think any amount of fresh, raw meat is of benefit to the cats, no matter how small. It will keep those who do eat it, used to the taste, texture and scent of fresh meat, while you work on getting the "hold out" to try it at least.

Switching adult cats can be very slow and frustrating. Some of mine were converted with the first meal, but most took about 2 weeks. I had one that held out for 2 months, and the last one held out for a full year, before I was able to get them totally off commercial and onto raw only.

Raw yolks are fine. They are a great source of protein and nutrients for cats.

Raw whites are not good. In small amounts they are ok, but on a regular basis an enzyme in the white will bind with certain nutrients, and the cat can become deficient.

You can either soft boil the eggs, or float them in hot water for 5 minutes to deactivate the enzyme in the whites, or just not use whites at all.
