    I have thought about doing a raw food diet for my cats. Check out this research that I have found. It came from about.com

    The controlled feeding experiment took place over ten years, between 1932 and 1942, and over 900 cats were eventually included. The optimum diet consisted of 1/3 raw milk, cod liver oil, and 2/3 raw meat, with one group receiving cooked food instead of raw. The findings were astounding. Within a few generations, the cats receiving cooked food exhibited:

    * facial deformities: narrowed faces, crowded jaws, frail bones and weakened ligaments
    * an excess of parasites
    * all manners of disease
    * female cats became more aggressive while males became docile
    * difficulty with pregnancy and after three generations, pregnancy failed
    * kittens born of these pregnancies often did not survive to adulthood
    * kittens showed skeletal deformities and organ malfunctions


    Isn't this just amazing to think about?
