I was recently messaged by someone (I won't name names) who told me it's "known" that cats and kittens shouldn't be fed raw meat because of possible parasites....and because it could make the cat more aggressive. While the latter just seems silly to me, the former is what I want to address (I tried to reply to this person privately, but the email address hasn't been confirmed, so it wouldn't go through).
It's true that some vets and nutrition experts advise against feeding pets raw meat because of the possibility of parasitic infection. But still others recommend it as the best way to give your animal proper nutrition. Therefore, it is not a "known fact" that it shouldn't be done, it's simply a matter of opinion. I myself am squeamish around raw meat, so if my cats DO get any of their raw meat patties (from Nature's Variety) it's because my husband prepared it for them. I stick with canned food because, in my opinion, it's a hell of a lot healthier than dry kibble.
