Cat diet supplement

    Cat diet consists of:

    90% raw chicken(no giblets, doesn't like it)
    7% raw pork mince(12% fat), ham slices etc
    3% tuna (a tin a week)

    She is 6 years old and that's all she ever eats for the last 3 years.

    She is aware that kibbles(Purizon, Applaws) and tinned cat food exists(Bozita, Carny, tesco own brand) but never even gives it a sniff. The other two cats are fed with these daily.

    So what supplement should i get to improve this diet?

    I might add she seems to be a content cat.

    I'd go with something like Felini complete; the main item I'd be worried about would obviously be taurine & kalcium depending on what parts of the chicken are served as frankenprey diet vs. breasts meat only etc. play in here.

    Apart from giblets she will eat the rest of the chicken, bones included.

    I get the whole chicken and cut it to big chunks so she has to "work" for it. Whatever giblets remain on the spine of the chicken she doesn't eat so i use it for soup.

    Sometimes i get pack of wings and she eats all of it no bother.

    wow - I'd LOVE if my cats ate like this! Cats are carnivores - surely if shes happy to eat her chicken, and get some pork mince and a tin of Tuna/week shes well fed! (Altho Nody's Fellini looks very interesting too)

    (my 2 cats are ex-ferals but are now living princesses who only eat what they feel like on any given day, the most expensive brands only, which they may go off when Ive bought 200 packs, and may eat 7 times a day as the fancy takes them)

    And mine is the opposite! Will only eat Felix ****e and won't touch any of the fancy food I bought her. She'll eat a tin of tuna but not everyday. She prefers the cat equivalent of McDonalds. :rolleyes: I tried a salmon oil suppliment with her but she won't go for that either. She's the pickiest cat I've ever come across.

    Cats are weird. :)
