Raw meat

Hi folks! I was tenderising and dicing braising steak for a stew and Mads was hanging round me so I gave them both a piece of the diced raw beef, Boo wouldn't touch it, but Mads chowed down both pieces Now I know its safe giving them raw meat, but as Mads has never before had it, will it cause her any harm? Gads I fel a bit guilty now in case she gets ill....

I wouldn't worry to much Helen as I give mine raw liver occasionally and they are always picking up bits of meat off the floor, that have been dropped whilst we're cooking.
You may find her wanting more next time you buy it.
As cats eat birds and mice I wouldn't let it bother you to much, she'll be fine.

You've started something now Helen, Mads will be wanting even more raw meat now she's had a taste of blood It'll do her no harm, whenever I buy meat for myself I always get a bit extra so I can treat my lot, tho' they all drew the line at raw liver....................and that was after my buying a pack specially for them from my butchers

Gads, her howling everytime I open a pack of processed meat is bad enough! What have I done!?

If she's anything like my lot, you'll have to be quick to put any fresh raw meat away. I've been too trusting too often to be caught again by leaving it in the kitchen where they can help themselves

haha and then there's Saffy coming home to Nic with a chicken... hmmm.... I don't think any of our little and not so little darlins could be trusted! lol

You've opened Pandora's Box, thats what you've done!

have to second Nicki here Helen, Pandora's box it is and as for being worried about giving them raw meat , mice and birds are as raw as they come. LOL

Greeeeeat.... she keeps appearing when the fridge opens now! Lol! I tried to teach her its not just tenderised beef that lives in there by giving her a mange tois yesterday and all that happened was Boo appeared and started playing with it
