Hello again: We have been feeding raw for several years now, and educating people on the benefits. The reason that cats run into problems is commercial foods, particularly the dry kibble - they are chronically de-hydrated, and the Ph level in the urine becomes too alkaline (a cat's urine should be acidic). It is alkaline, due to the grain (carbohydrate) content of the dry food, and it can become quite serious, if the problem with infection persists, kidney failure can result, and the prognisis for that is not good. We hear about this every day, and it is really completely preventable. Raw feeding can take a little getting used to but it pays off in the end, not to mention fewer vet bills!
Good luck,
Gayle
