Meaty Monday: New Research Opportunity!

In June our local animal shelter hosts a huge cat adoption event called KittyPalooza, and my aunt Laurie adopted a little tuxedo kitten!

Meet P.K. (that stands for Poor Kitty)


Recently, Laurie was over at our house and we started to talk about P.K.  Emma and I had mentioned raw food to her before, and she was interested when we started our dogs on their new diet, but she decided to not switch P.K.  She started to complain about how terrible his litter box smelled, which turned into the perfect segue for persuading her to switch P.K. to a raw diet.

Why?  Because feeding a raw diet for both cats and dogs results in smaller poop that has an extremely low odor.  As in, almost no smell.  We usually can't even tell if one of the little dogs has had an accident inside until we see the poop!  (OK, that's pretty gross, but it's the truth.)

After hearing this, Laurie decided to try out a raw diet.  The only problem is that neither she nor I has any experience with feeding cats raw.  It's the perfect (or should I say, purrfect?) opportunity for more research!

I'll keep you updated on my progress!  :)
