Cats are manipulative mind-control demons

[Fifty]

My cats do this ALL the time . I heard that they don't do this if you feed them raw food, but I don't know how.

If only there were a video tutorial somewhere to teach me how to feed raw food to my cat.

Cat + live mouse = cat usually catches and eats the mouse raw. Why do you need a video tutorial for that?

Cats also enjoy raw vegetables and fruit. They eat grass raw. No tutorials needed there either, I hope?

What about raw, bone-in chicken? I just am not comfortable with this until I get a video tutorial.

 

[Miles Teg]

No bones are not going to hurt your cat. It's a freaking carnivore.

Nevertheless, a quick serach confirms it's safe. Raw bones don't splinter like cooked ones. I'm also honest surprised at how much work people go to coax there cat into eating meat. I've own barn cats, house cats, and every other kind, but I've never seen one that would hesitate to eat raw meat, be it human served chicken whatever or a bunny that was playing near it's mother's warren.

Do you need to soak the chicken in hot water to get it closer towards kill temperature?

Where can you get a cleaver to use? Wal-mart? A Chinese store?

Will the cats get pretty excited as you take them outside?

Do you need to be careful with the cleaver?

Is cutting very tricky, or actually very easy?

These are all questions that need to be answered via video tutorial before I am comfortable feeding raw food to my cat.

Why not just let the cat kill the chicken itself? That would save a lot of time.

No it wouldn't. Not only would you have to travel further to find a live chicken then to buy chicken in a supermarket, the kill would take longer, there would be more mess, and the cat could be injured.

You obviously haven't watched the online tutorial.

Neither have you, or you'd have posted a link. And I'd find it easy to acquire a live chicken (a deal with a Hutterite at the Farmer's Market on Saturday should be sufficient). Since you're FIFTY, you should find it even easier.

And why would you deny your cat the joy of killing its own prey? Don't you know that's part of why they do it in the first place?

1) Its possible to watch something without being the one to post it. Its called clicking a link someone else has posted.

2) It isn't as easy as acquiring a dead chicken.

3) My name has no correlation with the comparative ease of live chicken finding.

4) Its not its own prey if you buy it and bring it to them.

5) Of course I know that.

6) You didn't address the cleanliness concern, nor the inherent danger.


Why are you so against video tutorials anyways!?

Why are you so against video tutorials anyways!?

1) You could always re-post the link.

2) Do you always take the easy way out, or the way that will challenge you and/or build character?

3) You are a legend on this forum; I would have thought you could do anything.

4) That's why I would prefer the cat did its own killing. It's more of a challenge for the cat and builds character.

5) Good.

6) Cleanliness...? I would assume any killing would be done outdoors, in which case cleanliness isn't as big a concern. As for danger, what danger? Does the chicken know kung-fu, or something?

I don't care for video tutorials because I learn better from written instructions and diagrams. And hearing voices coming out of the computer tends to scare my cat anyway.

A domestic cat cannot kill a full grown chicken. Unless the chicken wasn't moving/sick. Our chickens chase the cats.

That sounds awesome.

 

[Loki130]

I'll sum up a video-tutorial on feeding raw chicken to a cat:
(female narrator in neutral, calm, voice) step 1-find raw chicken (average-looking man opens fridge and pulls out piece of raw chicken) step 2-throw raw chicken at cat (man throws piece of raw chicken at a cat, which immediately devours it) you have now fed your cat raw chicken. (man looks at camera, gives the thumbs-up, and smiles)

Who said I was referring to a full-grown chicken? Fifty's been obsessing with raw chickens. He never specified the chicken's age or size.

 

[classical_hero]

Our cat used to like dining on lizards and mice that he caught around the house and surrounding area, so he can catch his own food should he need to, but he is too well fed to worry about that.
