Here at Pocket Leopards Bengals we feed our cats what nature designed them to eat. The diet of our cats mostly consists of raw meat (muscle meat, bones, heart and liver. We make our own food, usually out of chicken thighs with bones ground in and added heart (usually beef or chicken heart) and liver (beef or chicken).
If we are able to obtain a supply, at times we also feed them partially developed chicks, quail, or commercially raised mice.
On this diet, the cats are able to digest it so well that they need to eat numerous times a day, like they would do in the wild.
We realize that not everyone will agree on this diet and some people agree with it, but it is impossible for them to be able to feed this kind of diet. Therefore we do not require that you continue this diet once the kitten leaves here, however we DO REQUIRE that you switch your kitten over to a new diet very slowly, and that you feed it the best food available that is closest to it's natural diet in the wild. Please do your research on raw diet and cats, before making a final descision, EVEN if your vet tries to convince you differently. Please never let your vet convince you to do a rapid switch in diet!!
The raw meat diet has many advantages. The best advantage to this diet is the overall health of the cat. Cats seem to be so much healthier eating what what nature designed them to eat. Other advantages are; little to NO litterbox oder, soft and shiny coat, and healthy teeth/gums.
I am providing a link to a recipe of the homemade diet that I use, but if you don't want to make your own, you can buy it premade at Oma's Pride. Or many other local places like livestock feed store, butchers and many grocery stores even sell premade raw for cats.
