Raw Meat or Cooked Homemade Meals?

The Dilemma of Cat Feeding: Raw Meat or Cooked Homemade Meals?

Cats are natural carnivores. Raw meat aligns with their dietary habits, providing protein and exercising their teeth. However, raw meat may carry parasites (such as Toxoplasma gondii and tapeworms) and bacteria (like Salmonella). Improper handling can easily make cats sick.

Raw meat is undoubtedly superior to cooked homemade meals—it's more convenient and retains more nutrients. But this assumes a reliable source, which most pet owners simply can't guarantee. So cooked homemade meals remain the safer choice.
