What happens if a cat licks raw pork?

The cat should be fine. Cats, even domestic ones, are built to digest raw meat and tackle most bacteria found in meat that would otherwise cause us humans to be very ill. However, it may be best not to encourage a cat to eat raw pork as there have been some relations to tapeworm that may be carried by pigs, although this has yet not been proven.


Is it safe to feed your cat real chicken not cat food?

Can a cat eat cooked chicken as a treat? Yes. Should a cat eat cooked chicken? If it was for a treat, yes. As part of the cat's main diet, no, definitely not. Cooked meat hasn't got any of the nutrients a cat requires. Good, high quality cat food has plenty of meat and added supplements to give a cat all it needs. Raw meat contains many nutrients for a cat, but such a diet needs to be carefully planned and must also consist of organs and bone for a raw diet to be nutritionally complete and balanced. First of all giving cats certain homemade food from time to time like roasted chicken is not a substitute for a carefully balanced diet. Second of all claiming that cooked meal has no nutritional value for cats is not true. Cooked chicken has plenty of protein, vitamin-A, & other enzymes that are not easily destroyed during the cooking process. Standard canned cat food is cooked and not raw. You just cannot start feeding your cats raw diet food out of the blue when they've been fed cooked can food or dry food most of their life's. They are pets & not wild animals that are living on prey. They don't have the proper immune system to deal with many bacteria like salmonella present in raw meat like chicken. Most important is to give them quality wet food with little or no filers or unnecessary garbage. And yes, you have to be willing to spend money on your babes and buy the best food money can buy. Providing your cat with high end food, proper litter, health insurance will run you about $100.00/month. What you will get in return is priceless!


When you get some cat food how long will it take for the cat to come to you?

Depending on how you present the food and how you call it forth, it could take as little as a few minutes for a friendly cat or a week or two for a solitary/hostile cat to adjust, or maybe never if you don't have strong enough bait. If you are attempting to get a strange cat to come to you, I wouldn't suggest ordinary cat food; cat treats, canned cat food, cheese, milk or meat (not raw!) will tempt a cat forward fairly quickly. Cat food as it is isn't something an ordinary cat would spend his time after.
