Bear, quick question. This may be slightly off-topic... but, if it is OK to eat the same type of meat all the time, and this will still give all the nutrients one needs, would the same work for cats? I have two cats who are 19 months old and have eaten nothing but raw meat since day one. Currently I take chicken leg quarters and some hearts and gizzards and livers to a processor who grinds all this stuff up very coarsely. This is the main food I feed my cats, and they love it. They eat every bit, and I think the skin, with all its fat, is a good addition to their diet. Raw cat food email lists have stated that a "variety" of different animals is beneficial and perhaps necessary. I wonder, after reading what you (and Stefansson) have stated if this is really true. Do you think they would get all the nutrients they ever need if they simply ate chicken and no other food?
As far as them getting "bored" with that... cats will develop what people call "food addiction"… which is probably a bizarre oxymoron, because what is really going on is just the opposite, and that is they simply get use to eating certain meat and are fine with it... but, cats will just keep eating the same thing over and over, and if you try and give them something new, they will act "funny" about it for a while, till they get use to eating it. What I am saying is, if eating nothing but this ground chicken is going to give them great health, then I would love to just feed them this and nothing more. There are others on the raw cat food email lists that do this, and their cats seem to be fine with it. What do you think of this, if you have an opinion at all? I would have posted this in the Paleo Pets thread, but wanted your opinion specifically.
