People have been saying raw meat will make cats sick like us humans! Thanks for showing I was right that they can! Cats are CARNIVORES and eat birds and mice and other wildlife without being cooked so how is raw chicken and stuff any different? Awesome video!
Exactly! Cats actually have a short digestive system that is super acidic. So bacteria have a hard time getting them sick. Also if you use quality meat from a good source it’s hard for them to get sick. Love your comment :)
Thats tru they can eat raw meat without any problems But humans can do that too, the problem is in wild life cats eat fresh meat mostly they kill kt and eat it instant Thats not always the case with our meat we can buy at the supermarket its not always that fresh

Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve always wanted to switch my cats food to raw feed but all I ever saw as recipes/examples were putting bunch of meat and organs with bunch of bones through a blender etc. I don’t have such a strong blender, nor do I have the money to get one strong enough to deal with bones.

I give my cat raw chicken wings and she’ll eat the whole thing. No need for the blender. Plus, I think it’s necessary for cats to use their teeth to chew. It will keep them healthy and strong and it will also help to keep their jaw strong.
@@TheCatButler I have a question if you don't mind. What does your feeding schedule look like? Rn my cats eat wet and I feed them smaller meals 4 times a day with their largest one being at night.

@@taillesshalo8373 good question. Their current schedule is twice a day since they are adults, but when they were kittens it was probably closer to three times a day. I'd say keep the amount of meals the same during transition as to not change too many things at once. First get them use to the raw meat change. Hope that helps!

Hmm so in the US it’s not necessary because of the modern food safety system. Putting the meat in water would also remove some of the flavor and make less enticing for the cat. Hope that helps!

I just looked it up its in Europe right? I think the wet food version looks pretty good from the looks of it. The ingredients seem whole and not byproduct. So for raw food you can either make yourself like I do which is quite time consuming. I do it just so its super fresh and my cats love to watch me make their food. You could buy a premade raw food which can be easier for you. Key when choosing is where they source their meat, and if they had any recalls. I live in the states so my choices may not be available in your country. Hope that helps!

Thank you for this great video. I’ve just started raw feeding my two cats and am gradually switching wet food with raw meats. I buy 500gr of raw meat and portion it. How can I ensure the meat is stored for a few days in my fridge so that each day I can take the portions, but without the meat spoiling? Should I buy 250gr more frequently maybe? If I freeze the portions, will it be ok to defrost them in the microwave? Thank you xx
Hey glad you enjoyed the video! You could prep multiple meals and freeze in the freezer, then defrost it slowly in the fridge when you need to feed your cat. Its how I do it and makes it easier for you. Hope that helps!
Awesome!!! My boy used to eat chicken livers but now hes addict to wet food -_- i wonder if he will change his mind or if i will have to wean him off..
Eating a diet low in carbs help as carbs help drive tartar build up. Also brushing their teeth every day. Here is a video how: th-cam.com/video/ttYmlbtwiA0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B0-PMNF--rx1pTUW
My cat refuses to eat chicken liver and lamb kidney. I have not been able to find any other kidney at stores near me. I think it’s the texture she doesn’t like. I’m trying to feed her dried chicken liver now in her wet food. I alternate between raw and wet food. She eats wild sockeye salmon and shrimp. She’ll eat pretty much everything but the “slimy” texture food like kidney or liver. Is there a substitute?
@@TheCatButler Thank you!! I actually already had this in my cart 🛒 I was just worried it wasn’t safe for cats! I thought I saw you used a powder, so I didn’t know if the oil was okay!
Thank you pastor jack fot this video, god bless you for your boldness not holding back tell it like it is don't worry about steping or offrnding them th y eed to hear these messages🙏🤞❤️
It amazes me how the narrative is raw meat will make for cat sick! 🐈 Then we get told the the processed kibble is the best... Like with us, fresh is best! But in regard to raw meat for cats and dogs... ❤❤❤
It's decades of brainwash. Look at 1950s propaganda where the traditional housewife gets told that TV Dinners are the best way of "cooking" for their husband. It was intentional that people unlearned to cook themselves
Hi, I just found your video… thank you for the information. We live in New Zealand and we feed our cat frozen raw meat from a company that specialises in frozen raw meat for cats and dogs. But we don’t know what grade their meat products are. Would you recommend this diet or switch to your method? Thanks very much.
Hey thanks for the comment. If you want to know what goes in your pets food I recommend my method. Most premade raw will not use the highest grade of meat products. Hope that helps!
Your videos are so insightful and helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together! I did have a question about the “bones” portion of the kitty meal. I picked up chicken feet and thought I might give it a try. Do you recommend grinding it up? How much calcium will I find per ounce in chicken feet? Can I say it’s a 1:1 ratio with regular chicken bones? Thanks so much for the help!
Glad you found the videos helpful. You could grind it up. I recommend it being ground into a powder if you can. Chicken feet counts as bone. Hope that helps!
Hi ! I was wondering why you advice against feeding the egg whites to cats ? It contains proteins so I'm just wondering why it's not a good idea, so I can better understand the situation. Thanks a lot for your guide ! Have a nice day, take care !
Hey there is a protein called avidin in raw egg whites that can bind the essential vitamin biotin (also known as vitamin B7), so cats are unable to absorb it. Over time, that can cause a vitamin deficiency. Hope that helps!
Can you add few spoons of homemade beef stock to this? How did you arrive at this nutritional composition and product selection? Why no salmon in your menu? Also regarding prep, have you ever ground all this together and froze portions or are you buying fresh all the time?
Hey Omar some good questions. I do add beef or chicken bone broth but one with no added ingredients. Cats can't have thinks like garlic or onion in their food. It is toxic for them. The nutritional composition is mimicking the whole prey diet cats would eat in the wild. So just plain meat may not have something like the calcium unless you add bone. I sometimes give them Salmon, but it is sashimi human grade salmon, which means it is flash frozen to kill parasites. So I don't ground the meat, I cut them up and freeze their meals in a container. I just like my cats to chew on meat and use their teeth, so thats is why I chop vs ground meat. So every 2 weeks I buy meat and chop and meal prep for my cats, then freeze the meals. Hope that helps!
Hey I recently got a 5 month old cat from a shelter. And I’ve been looking at what type of diet would be best for him. And right now he’s just eating regular cat food. But is it normal for 5 months old cats to poop every other hour!? Idk if it’s because he’s just new to the house or trying to mark is territory!? Or there is something wrong with what I’m feeding him? It isn’t diarrhea so there’s that..
@@TheCatButler as far as I’m aware he hasn’t been defecating as much last night it was quite literally every hour as I went threw 6 blankets in 8 hours I was able to catch him two times and put him on the litter box.
@@TheCatButler i already got one planned. For friday! I just wonder what is wrong with him though? Apparently he had diarrhea before we got him but the shelter said that he got over that. And we asked if they knew what it could possibly be? And they said they didn’t know. Which was neat…
@@TheCatButler thank you so much. Oh wow that’s a lot less sardines needed; a tin has a ton of sardines! I’m excited to start prepping meals for my senior cat ❤️ thank you for the helpful information, and online cat store.
hello sir i really enjoy your videos they help me alot for in the future i will get a cat again and i hope your cats are living their lives to the fullest
So do you give the calcium supplement AND raw bone? I see the calcium supplement is 250mg per capsule and I need to feed my cat 12.5g of bone per day per the calculator. I’m having trouble finding a butcher who can grind bones so I want to use the supplement. To give 12.5g per day, that would be 50 capsules. I’m confused
Hey Kailee that is a good question! So you can either give them raw bone or a calcium supplement. Which ever is easy for you! The calcium supplement is super concentrated calcium. so 50 capsules doesn't apply. So you most likely at most feed your cat one to 1.5 calcium pill per meal. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler Hi thank you for responding. I am getting a bengal kitten next week and am running around trying to find the right meats and supplements for their diet. What bones do you feed your cats? My butcher can only give me chicken thigh bone cut into smaller pieces, but is not able to grind it. I know my breeder feeds her cats chicken wings with the bones ground up and whole quails, but as of now I cannot find a butcher near me who can grind the bones or sells quails, so I am thinking of just using the supplements (1 capsule per meal)
Oh congrats on your new bengal kitten! They are a beautiful breed. So I just use the supplements since it is easier. The brand I linked (amzn.to/2PXwezO) uses bone from cows in Australia and New Zealand which is very high quality. If you choose to grind the bone you may need to grind the bone yourself. I haven't tried that. If you need any other cat products for your new kitten you can check out my cat store: thecatbutler.co/. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!
I have a 2 year old cat I got from a shelter. She's been on dry and wet regular cat food for that long. Trying to feed her better. Would I be able to still get her to eat this diet? Is there a transition process?
The only thing I'm on the fence with this is the supplements, humans aren't required to take supplements every day and it has already been proven that supplements aren't as effective as the real source and are a lot harder to be assimilated by the body, so with a much smaller digestive system it seems like a waste
Hey... Try not to forget. Everyone has sponsors.. You need to watch many views of many people, then observe your cat.. In the end you are the Chef...lol
I think my cat was misdiagnosed with fip virus, i bought the experimental injections which is my last hope if the diagnosis was accurate, but i cant seem to want to give it to him, my gut feeling says its malnutrition he only ate dry food he is almost 2 years, so i think i need to do the transition to raw food, i would appreciate your opinion..i am in a serious dilemma
Hey did you get a second opinion in case the first vet was wrong? Maybe someone that is well reviewed on their credentials just in case? I think you should first make sure the FIP diagnosis was accurate. Then you could think of transitioning your cat to raw food. hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler thank you for responding, yes i took 3 different opinions, one said constipation, 2nd said neurological issue, 3rd said fip that causes neurological issues, she gave him steroids shot and b12 and did physiotherapy for three days cuz his legs seemed numb and he couldn’t walk well and seemed weak, i took him home started feeding him wet food, he is getting better and walks well now but doesnt jump or run yet, when i starting looking into raw diet, my plan was to try raw food to boost his immunity system and overall health maybe if this was caused by malnutrition it would solve it? or same ingredients but boiled food might be a better option for a recovering cat?
@@emq5869 I see did you have this cat for 2 years and this incident just suddenly happen? Crazy out of three vets so many different opinions, would think 2 of the 3 would overlap. Yeah wet food or raw diet is more nutritious. I've seen older cats do better with a raw diet. You could try boiled food, but I haven't had luck getting my cats to eat it. I think the taste may not be as appetizing to them.
I gave my ckd cat raw chicken liver , just got it from the store, all blended with a little cat food, she immediately vomited and had diarrhea. Now I feel bad.
hmmm it depends on what type of quality meat. I think on average the cost is 45 per week for one cat. I live in an high cost of living area so prices maybe a little higher. Hope that helps!
@TheCatButler, awesome, dude. I don't have animal companions myself, but I do feed a couple of stray cats dry food. Not ideal, I know, but I would appreciate any feedback regarding a good brand. I do organic and grain free, but what else would be helpful? Just because they are stray shouldn't mean they get a cheap meal.
Hello, I just have a few questions! I have a male tabby cat (no specific breed, I suppose), and he's five, turning six, this August. He weighs around seventeen pounds, and that's with me giving him smaller portions after adopting him. Obviously it wasn't immediate, it took some time, but my family has watched a documentary about cat and dog kibble, and how much harmful ingredients they actually put into it. I'm concerned for my cat, and I want him to live the healthiest and happiest life I can give him, and I have heard that there are more benefits for my furry friend from raw meats. After watching this video, I believe that Dude (my cat) will be much more better off with eating meats and not treats or kibble that are FLAVORED after meats, lol. Anywho, I was curious on if my cat would be able to eat the same meats as your cats, and how much I should give to him. I feed him twice a day (once at seven a.m and once at five-six p.m because of my work hours) and I have given him smaller portions because of his weight, as well as his sensitive stomach. He tends to throw up when I accidentally over feed him, and that's one of the other reasons on why I'm working on giving him food to help with his weight. He's not very active unless it's at night, but I'm not awake to help him get the exercise that he needs. Anyways, I think that wraps up my questions. I believe that you have the link to where you get your meats in your video description? I'm looking into these things.
It's a hypercapitalustic dystopia. Big Junkfood and Big Pharma don't make money with healthy people that eat self prepared meals from whole ingredients
Thanks for the informative content! How long do you freeze your meat for before restocking? Also have you ever dealt with minor freezer burns on your cats meat? and has it ever been a problem?
Garish great questions! Usually I make their meat for a 1.5 week period so it’s fresh. And there never has been a problem with freezer burns. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler thank you! Also in regards to the organs, can I do 5% liver and choose hearts for the other 5%? Or does chicken heart have to come in large quantities (15% of muscle meat as you mentioned). Just curious as my prep would be a lot easier if I incorporated 2 organs instead of 3.
@@HarishVaithy yeah chicken heart needs to come in larger quantities, it contains the bulk of the taurine needed for your cat. Yeah I agree the 3 organs is a pain :( but essential for balancing their meal.
Wouldn't the powders need to be mixed a bit so they aren't inhaled? Doesn't the remainder of it form into an unappetizing clump that gets left behind in the bowl?
Good question! I usually mix. It was separated for it to be clearly seen in the video. The powders are quite appetizing. Especially the kelp and the green lipped mussel
My Maine Coon is often off to the woods. Drags home dead wild boar piglets and young foxes and eats them on our Terrace. Or in the kitchen when noone had closed the dog door over night....
I'm a bit confused by the math in the example. The total food for the day was 650 grams, but the chicken thighs and heart alone made up 650 grams, and the end total for the whole plate was over 750 grams. Plus, if heart is essential in their diet, why not just make an easier ratio of 60/20/10/5/5? Even if heart is a muscle, if I have to calculate at least 15% of 84% every time I measure, it makes more sense to round it up and make it its own ratio, no?
Elvira that ratio works too! So the total amount daily varies based on your cat's age. I believe when I was doing it Teemo was roughly a kitten stage. The 650 gram was a calculation mistake it should be half that. I thought the calculator at the time it was by meal, so I 2x times the number, it actually is daily total. Hope that helps!
I was thinking of switching my cat to a raw food diet. My only concern is meal prep for raw chicken. Do you have a seperate place to prepare raw meats in your house? Also, is it unsafe to touch my cats face due to bacteria build up from her meals?
Ah gotcha! Usually you can buy them straight from a farm and they ship it to you. Or your local butcher may have some. I usually buy from a high quality farm and ship it to my home. This is my experience in the United States.
How do you figure out how much iodine to feed a 10.5 pound cat that eats roughly 210 kcals? I’ve seen some raw feeders say its 18 mg…how do I measure 18 mg?
Hey Maggie you can start with chicken and gradually add more and more raw meat when your cat accepts and finishes it. After they like chicken you can try beef and than the organs. Hope that helps!
Do you have anymore recommendations on bones that are good for them that isn't chicken but beef, rabbit or venison perhaps? just I have a dog whos allergic to chicken so i'd like to be able to get bone that both cats and dog can eat
Do you know anything about not needing fish oil because or urinary tract issues? Our cat had a uti and crystals about 6 months ago. Im having trouble finding more info about that
@Jasper Did u find anything yet? It is the fish not the oil from it! Fish are higher in Mg which is too much for them what causes actually the Uti, makes the ph of it alkaline. Not the oil in it pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3994104/ I would suggest u not to get them fish at all! U may provide the omg3 Also raw brain is a great source of omega🤷♀
@@tahsinzain3344 they had a nutritional vet appointment after I commented this and she said exactly that. Give them an omega 3 supplement vs actual fishes
Hey Abbi that is a good question. It does depend on the weight of your cat. So for reference my cat Teemo is about 12 lbs and is an adult cat. 1. Iodine (Kelp) - 39 to 108 microgram per day 2. Vitamin E - 1 drop every 2 meals. 3. Green Lipped Mussel - 250 mg per cat or 1 scoop that comes with this product - thecatbutler.co/products/super-snouts-joint-power 4. Calcium - Since its concentrated about 1 - 1.5 pill per day Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler Great! Looking forward to it. I’ve always raw fed my dogs, but I have a baby kitty now that I want to raw feed. So that would be very helpful. Thank you!!
She learned to play with a feather on a stick today 😃 Still learning the litter box is not for sleeping 😬 I love your videos & your voice is very soothing !
A lot of countries have "not so strict food regulations" so it's highly recommandet to cook the meat. Just make sure you feed your cat meat from a safe source.
I asked for this video in another of your videos, but given you've covered this topic please ignore my previous request. This was very helpful and I will certainly try this for my babies. I just hope they go for it, two of my children are VERY particular about what they eat, which can be very annoying but we just have to roll with it I guess. Who said taking care of your kids was supposed to be easy, right?
I have cats that are ready to go raw. My only concern is the warnings I’ve seen about salmonella and camphylobacteriosis. Any tips on this? I have chicken hearts, giblets and chicken liver fresh from the butcher.
Hey good questions. So cats have highly acidic digestive systems. They are carnivores after all in the wild. This acidity makes them pathogen resistant. They also have a short digestive tract that gives bacteria little time to proliferate in their systems. Food passes through in about 13 hours, compared to two to three times that long for a human. If a cat ingests salmonella bacteria, it has a good chance of not being affected by it. Keep in mind this applies to a healthy cat; resistance can be severely diminished in a cat that is ill. The concern is more about the people in the household, most of the emphasis on safe handling is to protect humans. hope this helps!
My cats would never go for it. For some odd reason they dislike people food. They only like their crunchies and when I tried raw on the one he got sick. Maybe my cats are broken. lol
So the commercial cat food they add a very addictive ingredient in it so it’s why transitioning is difficult. But when changing to a new diet cats need to adjust. So give it a little time and you will be surprised and how they adapt to it!
Im a deer hunter and i was wondering if it would be safe for my cat to eat venison kidneys and livers. I dont usually eat them myself but i try to save them rather than discarding them.
Apologies, I doubled the daily rate by accident when giving the example. It should be 325 g not 650 g per day for the kitten stage.
Hello, I'm sry but acc to the calculator, a 4.5 kg cat should eat 135g, I'm confused tbh

If I freeze the portions, will it be ok to defrost them in the microwave? Thank you xx
Hey glad you enjoyed the video! You could prep multiple meals and freeze in the freezer, then defrost it slowly in the fridge when you need to feed your cat. Its how I do it and makes it easier for you. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler Thank you very much for your reply. I will now try out your suggestion.xx
Awesome!!! My boy used to eat chicken livers but now hes addict to wet food -_- i wonder if he will change his mind or if i will have to wean him off..
Oh you can try a gradual transition! Yeah some wet food they add some addictive elements
@@TheCatButler thanks for the help!
How much does this cost per meal or per day (serving each cat two of these meals per day)?
When you buy raw food for your cat from an excellent market, how do you store it in the fridge and use it daily for your cat?
Hey so I usually make 2 weeks of meals and store it in the freezer, I will then slowly defreeze some every day to feed them. Hope that helps!
Very helpful information! Thank you!
Josey glad the video was helpful!
Hi, can I cook the meat?
And what is the best way to cook it?
You can cook the meat. Best would prob be boil or steam. I do find my cats like the raw taste better
Nice video! I've been thinking about this diet chance for some time now!
I am glad the video helped! Let me know if you have any questions :)

What would you recommend to reduce tartar on cats teeth?
Eating a diet low in carbs help as carbs help drive tartar build up. Also brushing their teeth every day. Here is a video how: th-cam.com/video/ttYmlbtwiA0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=B0-PMNF--rx1pTUW
I just got taurine to make homemade cat food. Is all taurine the same cause it doesn’t say for cats on bottle
Yeah taurine is the same!
Are dehydrated things like chicken feet or heads considered “cooked” bones?
hey if it does't say cooked they are not cooked bones, hope that helps
My cat refuses to eat chicken liver and lamb kidney. I have not been able to find any other kidney at stores near me. I think it’s the texture she doesn’t like. I’m trying to feed her dried chicken liver now in her wet food. I alternate between raw and wet food. She eats wild sockeye salmon and shrimp. She’ll eat pretty much everything but the “slimy” texture food like kidney or liver. Is there a substitute?

How do you know how much supplements to give?
Here is a good website on how much supplements to give
perfectlyrawsome.com/raw-feeding-knowledgebase/nrc-essential-nutrients-microminerals/
It amazes me how the narrative is raw meat will make for cat sick! 🐈 Then we get told the the processed kibble is the best... Like with us, fresh is best! But in regard to raw meat for cats and dogs... ❤❤❤
The thing is the companies that make kibble own a lot of the vet clinics now, so most vets are paid to say that kibble is the best!
It's decades of brainwash. Look at 1950s propaganda where the traditional housewife gets told that TV Dinners are the best way of "cooking" for their husband.
It was intentional that people unlearned to cook themselves
Hi, I just found your video… thank you for the information. We live in New Zealand and we feed our cat frozen raw meat from a company that specialises in frozen raw meat for cats and dogs. But we don’t know what grade their meat products are. Would you recommend this diet or switch to your method? Thanks very much.
Hey thanks for the comment. If you want to know what goes in your pets food I recommend my method. Most premade raw will not use the highest grade of meat products. Hope that helps!
Where do you find these products?
Hey Savannah you could check the link in the description. Let me know if you have any other questions
Your videos are so insightful and helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together!
I did have a question about the “bones” portion of the kitty meal. I picked up chicken feet and thought I might give it a try. Do you recommend grinding it up? How much calcium will I find per ounce in chicken feet? Can I say it’s a 1:1 ratio with regular chicken bones? Thanks so much for the help!
Glad you found the videos helpful. You could grind it up. I recommend it being ground into a powder if you can. Chicken feet counts as bone. Hope that helps!
can i grind the meat (separately) and mix it together with the powders when i serve or no?
you can! I just find mixing it with the meat when you prep their meals to be easier.
Hi ! I was wondering why you advice against feeding the egg whites to cats ? It contains proteins so I'm just wondering why it's not a good idea, so I can better understand the situation. Thanks a lot for your guide ! Have a nice day, take care !
Hey there is a protein called avidin in raw egg whites that can bind the essential vitamin biotin (also known as vitamin B7), so cats are unable to absorb it. Over time, that can cause a vitamin deficiency. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler Ohhh, I see ! Thanks a lot for the help ! Have a nice day, take care !
does similar concept apply to kittens?
yes! they just need to eat more often!
Can you add few spoons of homemade beef stock to this? How did you arrive at this nutritional composition and product selection? Why no salmon in your menu?
Also regarding prep, have you ever ground all this together and froze portions or are you buying fresh all the time?
Hey Omar some good questions. I do add beef or chicken bone broth but one with no added ingredients. Cats can't have thinks like garlic or onion in their food. It is toxic for them. The nutritional composition is mimicking the whole prey diet cats would eat in the wild. So just plain meat may not have something like the calcium unless you add bone.
I sometimes give them Salmon, but it is sashimi human grade salmon, which means it is flash frozen to kill parasites.
So I don't ground the meat, I cut them up and freeze their meals in a container. I just like my cats to chew on meat and use their teeth, so thats is why I chop vs ground meat. So every 2 weeks I buy meat and chop and meal prep for my cats, then freeze the meals.
Hope that helps!

Hey I recently got a 5 month old cat from a shelter. And I’ve been looking at what type of diet would be best for him. And right now he’s just eating regular cat food. But is it normal for 5 months old cats to poop every other hour!? Idk if it’s because he’s just new to the house or trying to mark is territory!? Or there is something wrong with what I’m feeding him? It isn’t diarrhea so there’s that..
hmm I haven't encountered a cat pooping every hour, is he still doing that?
@@TheCatButler as far as I’m aware he hasn’t been defecating as much last night it was quite literally every hour as I went threw 6 blankets in 8 hours I was able to catch him two times and put him on the litter box.
@@hpjive maybe you should go see the vet to be sure he is okay.
@@TheCatButler i already got one planned. For friday! I just wonder what is wrong with him though? Apparently he had diarrhea before we got him but the shelter said that he got over that. And we asked if they knew what it could possibly be? And they said they didn’t know. Which was neat…
@@hpjive yeah in person check by the vet would give you more insight. Pooping this often definitely is a little odd. Good job on you noticing that!
For the salmon oil capsules, is one a good amount for omega 3?
What would a portion of sardines look like instead of salmon oil?
Thank you!
Yes 1 salmon capsule is good. more like 1 sardine per week. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler thank you so much. Oh wow that’s a lot less sardines needed; a tin has a ton of sardines! I’m excited to start prepping meals for my senior cat
❤️ thank you for the helpful information, and online cat store.
@@Itsbetty Glad I was of help! Feel free to comment or send an email if you have any questions!
Thank you for all the information
hello sir i really enjoy your videos they help me alot for in the future i will get a cat again and i hope your cats are living their lives to the fullest
I am glad you enjoy the videos! Wishing you the best in getting a cat again :)
So do you give the calcium supplement AND raw bone? I see the calcium supplement is 250mg per capsule and I need to feed my cat 12.5g of bone per day per the calculator. I’m having trouble finding a butcher who can grind bones so I want to use the supplement. To give 12.5g per day, that would be 50 capsules. I’m confused
Hey Kailee that is a good question! So you can either give them raw bone or a calcium supplement. Which ever is easy for you! The calcium supplement is super concentrated calcium. so 50 capsules doesn't apply. So you most likely at most feed your cat one to 1.5 calcium pill per meal. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler Hi thank you for responding. I am getting a bengal kitten next week and am running around trying to find the right meats and supplements for their diet. What bones do you feed your cats? My butcher can only give me chicken thigh bone cut into smaller pieces, but is not able to grind it. I know my breeder feeds her cats chicken wings with the bones ground up and whole quails, but as of now I cannot find a butcher near me who can grind the bones or sells quails, so I am thinking of just using the supplements (1 capsule per meal)
Oh congrats on your new bengal kitten! They are a beautiful breed. So I just use the supplements since it is easier. The brand I linked (amzn.to/2PXwezO) uses bone from cows in Australia and New Zealand which is very high quality. If you choose to grind the bone you may need to grind the bone yourself. I haven't tried that.
If you need any other cat products for your new kitten you can check out my cat store: thecatbutler.co/. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!
I have a 2 year old cat I got from a shelter. She's been on dry and wet regular cat food for that long. Trying to feed her better. Would I be able to still get her to eat this diet? Is there a transition process?
What is the addictive ingredient you keep mentioning that’s added to commercial cat food?
Mice, bugs, fresh water. Done.
good info, thanks!!!
The only thing I'm on the fence with this is the supplements, humans aren't required to take supplements every day and it has already been proven that supplements aren't as effective as the real source and are a lot harder to be assimilated by the body, so with a much smaller digestive system it seems like a waste
Hey...
Try not to forget. Everyone has sponsors..
You need to watch many views of many people, then observe your cat..
In the end you are the Chef...lol
Holy complicated! Need to take a nutrition course.
I think my cat was misdiagnosed with fip virus, i bought the experimental injections which is my last hope if the diagnosis was accurate, but i cant seem to want to give it to him, my gut feeling says its malnutrition he only ate dry food he is almost 2 years, so i think i need to do the transition to raw food, i would appreciate your opinion..i am in a serious dilemma
Hey did you get a second opinion in case the first vet was wrong? Maybe someone that is well reviewed on their credentials just in case? I think you should first make sure the FIP diagnosis was accurate.
Then you could think of transitioning your cat to raw food. hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler thank you for responding, yes i took 3 different opinions, one said constipation, 2nd said neurological issue, 3rd said fip that causes neurological issues, she gave him steroids shot and b12 and did physiotherapy for three days cuz his legs seemed numb and he couldn’t walk well and seemed weak, i took him home started feeding him wet food, he is getting better and walks well now but doesnt jump or run yet, when i starting looking into raw diet, my plan was to try raw food to boost his immunity system and overall health maybe if this was caused by malnutrition it would solve it? or same ingredients but boiled food might be a better option for a recovering cat?
@@emq5869 I see did you have this cat for 2 years and this incident just suddenly happen? Crazy out of three vets so many different opinions, would think 2 of the 3 would overlap.
Yeah wet food or raw diet is more nutritious. I've seen older cats do better with a raw diet. You could try boiled food, but I haven't had luck getting my cats to eat it. I think the taste may not be as appetizing to them.
Can u show us a couple of meals 4 cats w kidney disease please ?!??!
I gave my ckd cat raw chicken liver , just got it from the store, all blended with a little cat food, she immediately vomited and had diarrhea. Now I feel bad.
@@marciamartins1992
O I'm sorry 4 ur Kitty, I know well how painful this all is, but don't feel bad cuz u were just trying to make her feel better 🙂
How much would this cost approx per week let’s say? Thank you.
hmmm it depends on what type of quality meat. I think on average the cost is 45 per week for one cat. I live in an high cost of living area so prices maybe a little higher. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler ok thank you
sorry its actually 32 per week for one cat. I added arya's portion.
@@TheCatButler no problem. Thanks I appreciate it. Your cats are beautiful.
How do you calculate each meat for a kitten that 4months ago?
@TheCatButler, awesome, dude. I don't have animal companions myself, but I do feed a couple of stray cats dry food. Not ideal, I know, but I would appreciate any feedback regarding a good brand. I do organic and grain free, but what else would be helpful? Just because they are stray shouldn't mean they get a cheap meal.
Hey! You are awesome feeding these cats :). But type of food were you looking for. A wet food or a raw mix?
Hello, I just have a few questions! I have a male tabby cat (no specific breed, I suppose), and he's five, turning six, this August. He weighs around seventeen pounds, and that's with me giving him smaller portions after adopting him. Obviously it wasn't immediate, it took some time, but my family has watched a documentary about cat and dog kibble, and how much harmful ingredients they actually put into it. I'm concerned for my cat, and I want him to live the healthiest and happiest life I can give him, and I have heard that there are more benefits for my furry friend from raw meats. After watching this video, I believe that Dude (my cat) will be much more better off with eating meats and not treats or kibble that are FLAVORED after meats, lol. Anywho, I was curious on if my cat would be able to eat the same meats as your cats, and how much I should give to him. I feed him twice a day (once at seven a.m and once at five-six p.m because of my work hours) and I have given him smaller portions because of his weight, as well as his sensitive stomach. He tends to throw up when I accidentally over feed him, and that's one of the other reasons on why I'm working on giving him food to help with his weight. He's not very active unless it's at night, but I'm not awake to help him get the exercise that he needs. Anyways, I think that wraps up my questions. I believe that you have the link to where you get your meats in your video description? I'm looking into these things.
Okay, so I found the food calculator, so that makes everything a bit easier, ha ha!
Haha yeah the calculator should help quite a bit! Make sure to have the supplements in your cats diet. For iodine just a small amount is needed.
Thank you for the help!
This cat eats better than half of all "Americans."
It's a hypercapitalustic dystopia. Big Junkfood and Big Pharma don't make money with healthy people that eat self prepared meals from whole ingredients
Thanks for the informative content! How long do you freeze your meat for before restocking? Also have you ever dealt with minor freezer burns on your cats meat? and has it ever been a problem?
Garish great questions! Usually I make their meat for a 1.5 week period so it’s fresh. And there never has been a problem with freezer burns. Hope that helps!
@@TheCatButler thank you! Also in regards to the organs, can I do 5% liver and choose hearts for the other 5%? Or does chicken heart have to come in large quantities (15% of muscle meat as you mentioned). Just curious as my prep would be a lot easier if I incorporated 2 organs instead of 3.
@@HarishVaithy yeah chicken heart needs to come in larger quantities, it contains the bulk of the taurine needed for your cat. Yeah I agree the 3 organs is a pain :( but essential for balancing their meal.
Wouldn't the powders need to be mixed a bit so they aren't inhaled?
Doesn't the remainder of it form into an unappetizing clump that gets left behind in the bowl?
Good question! I usually mix. It was separated for it to be clearly seen in the video. The powders are quite appetizing. Especially the kelp and the green lipped mussel
@@TheCatButler That makes sense. Thank you for compiling footage of a mindful way to care for such majestic creatures.
My Maine Coon is often off to the woods.
Drags home dead wild boar piglets and young foxes and eats them on our Terrace. Or in the kitchen when noone had closed the dog door over night....
🥲
I'm a bit confused by the math in the example. The total food for the day was 650 grams, but the chicken thighs and heart alone made up 650 grams, and the end total for the whole plate was over 750 grams. Plus, if heart is essential in their diet, why not just make an easier ratio of 60/20/10/5/5? Even if heart is a muscle, if I have to calculate at least 15% of 84% every time I measure, it makes more sense to round it up and make it its own ratio, no?
Elvira that ratio works too! So the total amount daily varies based on your cat's age. I believe when I was doing it Teemo was roughly a kitten stage. The 650 gram was a calculation mistake it should be half that. I thought the calculator at the time it was by meal, so I 2x times the number, it actually is daily total. Hope that helps!
I was thinking of switching my cat to a raw food diet. My only concern is meal prep for raw chicken. Do you have a seperate place to prepare raw meats in your house? Also, is it unsafe to touch my cats face due to bacteria build up from her meals?
Where do you buy this stuff?
Hey Karl some of the stuff is linked in the description, but which stuff are referring to? Maybe I can help.
@@TheCatButler The actual meat. My grocery store doesn’t have kidneys and hearts, etc.
Ah gotcha! Usually you can buy them straight from a farm and they ship it to you. Or your local butcher may have some. I usually buy from a high quality farm and ship it to my home. This is my experience in the United States.
How do you figure out how much iodine to feed a 10.5 pound cat that eats roughly 210 kcals? I’ve seen some raw feeders say its 18 mg…how do I measure 18 mg?
So I use these micro spoons - amzn.to/3UjzW37
What if your cat has been eating dry food their whole life (10 yrs), is it safe to switch the diet completely right away?
It is safe to switch the diet, you just need to do it gradually
Is the serving you prepared in the video supposed to last as one meal? Or does it last a whole day? Thanks!
Could I blend this up and make a pate? My cat is so picky she only eats pate from a wet cat food pack
Yep you can! You can get a grinder and you can mix the meat together. Teemo and Arya just likes to eat chopped meat.
Wow complete in 6&half minutes
Hi, i just want it to know how can I change my cat from dry food to a raw diet, thank you
Hey Maggie you can start with chicken and gradually add more and more raw meat when your cat accepts and finishes it. After they like chicken you can try beef and than the organs. Hope that helps!
Please link the diet calculator
Do you have anymore recommendations on bones that are good for them that isn't chicken but beef, rabbit or venison perhaps? just I have a dog whos allergic to chicken so i'd like to be able to get bone that both cats and dog can eat
Do you feed them once or twice a day?
Hey Tiffany twice a day!
Do you know anything about not needing fish oil because or urinary tract issues? Our cat had a uti and crystals about 6 months ago. Im having trouble finding more info about that
Hey! Let me clarify are you saying that is it okay to give a cat fish oil if it it was diagnosed with UTI 6 months ago?
@Jasper
Did u find anything yet?
It is the fish not the oil from it!
Fish are higher in Mg which is too much for them what causes actually the Uti, makes the ph of it alkaline.
Not the oil in it
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3994104/
I would suggest u not to get them fish at all!
U may provide the omg3
Also raw brain is a great source of omega🤷♀
@@tahsinzain3344 they had a nutritional vet appointment after I commented this and she said exactly that. Give them an omega 3 supplement vs actual fishes
Hi! Very helpful video just wondering how can I calculate the supplements?
Hey Abbi that is a good question. It does depend on the weight of your cat. So for reference my cat Teemo is about 12 lbs and is an adult cat.
1. Iodine (Kelp) - 39 to 108 microgram per day
2. Vitamin E - 1 drop every 2 meals.
3. Green Lipped Mussel - 250 mg per cat or 1 scoop that comes with this product - thecatbutler.co/products/super-snouts-joint-power
4. Calcium - Since its concentrated about 1 - 1.5 pill per day
Hope that helps!
Where can you find these organ meats
Does anyone know the rough price$$ per bowl for his example?
It would be helpful to show how to make a weeks worth, divide it & freeze individual meals. You can’t keep fresh meat in the refrigerator for a week.
Hey Michele its good feedback! I plan to actually make a video like that soon
@@TheCatButler Great! Looking forward to it. I’ve always raw fed my dogs, but I have a baby kitty now that I want to raw feed. So that would be very helpful. Thank you!!
congrats on your new kitty :)
@@TheCatButler Thanks? 😂 I raised a father & son Bengals for their entire lives, but never a motherless kitten 😬
She learned to play with a feather on a stick today 😃 Still learning the litter box is not for sleeping 😬 I love your videos & your voice is very soothing !
What breed is Teemo?
He is a Ragdoll cat!
What if your cat doesnt eat it all? Do you just leave it out until they do?
This worked with my cats. Gave them 2 foods together, and they eventually got to the one they liked less once they finished the first one lol
This is all we eat in the fallout shelter
A lot of countries have "not so strict food regulations" so it's highly recommandet to cook the meat.
Just make sure you feed your cat meat from a safe source.
Can you give the mentioned bones instead off the calcium powder?
These bones are a good start:
Chicken or Duck Feet
Chicken or Duck Necks
Chicken or Rabbit Ribs
Chicken, Duck or Rabbit Heads
Hope that helps!
At 2:50, where did you source this information from? Thanks!!

I asked for this video in another of your videos, but given you've covered this topic please ignore my previous request. This was very helpful and I will certainly try this for my babies. I just hope they go for it, two of my children are VERY particular about what they eat, which can be very annoying but we just have to roll with it I guess. Who said taking care of your kids was supposed to be easy, right?
Vinny that’s right! My cat arya is super picky as well. Sometimes need to change up the meat to make happy. Likes variety
Thank you so much!!!
I am glad the video was helpful!
I have cats that are ready to go raw. My only concern is the warnings I’ve seen about salmonella and camphylobacteriosis. Any tips on this? I have chicken hearts, giblets and chicken liver fresh from the butcher.
Hey good questions. So cats have highly acidic digestive systems. They are carnivores after all in the wild. This acidity makes them pathogen resistant. They also have a short digestive tract that gives bacteria little time to proliferate in their systems. Food passes through in about 13 hours, compared to two to three times that long for a human. If a cat ingests salmonella bacteria, it has a good chance of not being affected by it. Keep in mind this applies to a healthy cat; resistance can be severely diminished in a cat that is ill.
The concern is more about the people in the household, most of the emphasis on safe handling is to protect humans. hope this helps!
@@TheCatButler great advice. Thank you so so much!
Does boiling coutns as cooking?
For bones or meat?
Great Vid! so informative thanks!
Glad you found the video helpful!
My cats would never go for it. For some odd reason they dislike people food. They only like their crunchies and when I tried raw on the one he got sick. Maybe my cats are broken. lol
So the commercial cat food they add a very addictive ingredient in it so it’s why transitioning is difficult. But when changing to a new diet cats need to adjust. So give it a little time and you will be surprised and how they adapt to it!
do you measure the grams by using a scale or eyeballing it? good info though
I use a scale to measure
So what are the conditions to use raw ???
Im a deer hunter and i was wondering if it would be safe for my cat to eat venison kidneys and livers. I dont usually eat them myself but i try to save them rather than discarding them.
Hey good question! So cats can eat venison, but if it’s wild I recommend cooking them so parasites are removed. Hope that helps!
My cat loves deer liver. Since I won’t ever eat it he gets all of it. I don’t raw feed my cat every day but he’s not picky at all
