Teaching an old cat new tricks....

DeeJay is my 14 & 1/2 year old kitty.  She has a lot of health issues and we are slowly getting them under control.  She has pretty severe arthritis in most of her joints.  We have been feeding her canned, but we learned that it is a lot cheaper to feed her raw so we are transitioning her over to raw too.  To feed both of my cats raw just for the chicken we buy it's $5.22 per week.  Now we add supplements and liver but the costs are minimal compared to each daily meal.  I love how inexpensive it is and am glad that I figured out it's only gonna cost us $20 per month instead of $40.  We *may* be able to afford to switch the rest of the kitties to raw too.  We shall see.

Here is DeeJays 1st raw meal

 

Almost all gone, mind you she had only been eating about 1/4-1/2 of her normal meals this week

 When she was finished with her meal she ate 1/2 of my chihuahua's then got mad at her when Zoey decided she better eat her own food LOL

Zoey Bone In Meal

 Tonight was bone in meal for Zoey.  It is a cornish hen spine.  She loves to chomp on bones and it's healthy for her teeth.  She gets a boney meal twice a week. 

Munchie Bone In

 So tonight was bone in night.  Munchie still isn't too enthused about eating boney pieces which really shocks me as he digs chicken bones out of the garbage can and eats the nobbys off the end of the bones.  He would take a bite into the chicken, feel the bone in his mouth and quit.  So I had to resort rto smashing the bones up in my Ninja.  He still wouldn't eat it so I had to mix maybe a teaspooon of canned food in with it to get him to eat it all..  Here are some pictures of him biting into the piece.
