Herbal Remedies - Vegitarian or Vegan Carnivores

[Guest guest]

Anna,

 

My 2 year old male cat will tell you, he is a died in the wool

vegitarian and to make him into a Vegan is just plain silly.

 

If he escapes the house during daylight, the first thing he does is

goes into our neighbors yard where there are tons of birds (they have

feeders), catch one, brings it home, and then proceeds to de-feather

it and eat it. This is totally natural for them.

 

Now mind you, i dont condone his behavior, so i help him by making

sure he gets meat scraps from time to time, and that includes some

nice grilled fish, and by not letting him out until sunset to limit

his ability to hurt birds.

 

We hate paying the high proce of pet food too and so one of the other

ways we supplement our pets diets (another cat and a dog) is we make

them a stew of Organic parts (from the butcher, livers mostly or

sometimes gizzards) plus garlic, onion, carrot and celery. We cook

just enough to get the veggies tender, which is plenty of time for

the meat parts, and then puree for them.

 

The dog much prefers this over dog food, ANY DAY, in fact i can even

add water to the blender when i am done and he will drink the little

bits that are left (i waste as little as possible)

 

The cost is comparable to two large cans of store bought wet dog food

but way better since i know exactly what is in it.

 

The cats will eat chicken liver, but not other animal livers or other

parts. FIsh is a huge favorite, so if we grill some, we make sure we

buy just ateeny bit extra so we can share our meal with them.

 

Spoiled yes, but they give us lots of love (and stress reduction) in

return so i think they are worth it.

be fine for the furry friends. May take some adjustment for them,

though! You can check out this web site for info on raw food diet for

dogs: http://www.caninerawdiet.com/CRD/index.html. I know you didn't

mention a dog, but when you start rooting around in this info you'll

find people that do the raw food (meat) diet for their cats as well.
