(like the vets the shelter uses where I volunteer). Problem is, the folks on the board trust them.... and I wouldn't go to them if they were the last vet on earth (unless it was for an operation/procedure) cause I just can't do that.... almost makes me want to go to veterinary school!Maine Kittieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813501266938509291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-73988511437108459332012-05-06T22:31:37.105-04:002012-05-06T22:31:37.105-04:00Hmmm... mouses are always served raw, I think.

Wash your hands, wash the plates, basically the same precautions you should be taking now with your own foods (not just meat) and with your pet's foods.<br /><br />Not all meat is contaminated. As for the mouth, while I'm not a vet, nor do I play one on the internet, I would imagine that the fact that the cat is designed to eat such things and thus they are designed to combat such issues that it is taken care of. I imagine the constant flow of saliva takes care of most any bacteria and such in their mouth. All I can tell you is that I have been feeding my cats raw for years and my cats lick me continually (heck as I type this Muffin is laying on my arms licking my hands.. She and Jack often lick my face) I am not the most anal about cleaning up after raw meat either, if they pull stuff off the plate, I don't go running after them to wipe up the floor where ever the raw meat touched... but I also don't have kids who might touch the floor and touch their mouth either.<br /><br />Feel free to email me (email on the side bar of the blog) if you have any specific questions.. If I have come across it or read about it I'll share with you what I know.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-67182268140330374312012-05-06T18:48:46.896-04:002012-05-06T18:48:46.896-04:00Sparkle's human here - I have thought about ra...Sparkle's human here - I have thought about raw (although who knows if my weird crew would like it - the one time I tried store-bought raw, they ALL looked at me like I was crazy, not just Miss Picky-Pants Sparkle). But the one thing that concerns me was actually brought up by somebody I interviewed for a nutrition article for a magazine: while cats have stronger constitutions and can handle a lot of raw food-borne bacteria, it can make humans sick. So how can I handle it safely for ME? And what happens if Binga, who will lick my skin raw if I let her, licks me after eating raw food? I had bad food poisoning once and I really don't EVER want to go through that again!Sparklehttp://www.sparklecat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-61773768662154004402012-05-06T17:19:15.881-04:002012-05-06T17:19:15.881-04:00I sure hope these special kittens find homes with ...I sure hope these special kittens find homes with understanding parents. It is frustrating that so many vets don't know much about feline nutrition. One vet (former vet!) told me that canned food was "bad" for cats, but never gave me a reason. I think the reason was because they she could not sell prescription dry Hills. :-/Renehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10832643923158222775noreply@blogger.com
