Will it be okay to give Ebby a raw chicken drumstick?

I have to disagree. I have read in many places NEVER to give a cat a bone, because it can splinter and injure the cat. Raw food, to me as a RN, is dicey, especially with the e.coli and salamonella out there....

cooked chicken bones ARE dangerous and splinter, raw bones do not.

Cats are obligate carnivores. They are not made to digest kibble, but rather fresh, raw prey animals.

I feed raw to my dogs every day, plus am feeding it to my 3.5 week old foster puppies and fed it to my foster kittens last month. All have done better on raw than on kibble.

Certainly raw food that is fresh is fine.
After all Cats for generations had mouse tartar before we domesticated them.
Cats are atavistic and love raw food.
I give the Found Cats bits of raw steak and they love it.
