My Paleo Cat



Enjoying raw chicken. Cats are obligate carnivores. Please don't feed them grain-based kibble. I feed mine a combination of raw meaty bones, 100% meat canned food, and freeze-dried wild salmon treats.

For good guidance on how to switch your cat or dog to raw meaty bones, check out the Raw Meaty Bones website for some very useful free downloads.

You might also want to read Pottenger's Cats: A Study In Nutrition, which details experiments in cat nutrition done by Francis Pottenger, M.D.. Pottenger found that cats fed cooked and processed foods underwent a process of degeneration similar to that Weston Price observed in native populations of people who transitioned from native diets to "civilized" diets consisting largely of processed high carbohdyrate foods.

This book also include reports of clinical work Pottenger did with some of his human patients.
