Feline Homemade Raw Meat Diet Cat Food Success Stories

Feline Instincts does not claim their supplements cure any feline or canine diseases. The following stories are about nutritionally balanced raw meat diets for cats. Many of the success stories have been referred by vets to eat a raw diet.

Feline and canine health problems useful information links with raw meat diet testimonials for each health issue:

We are appalled at the new and recommenced surgery for FUS " perineal urethrostomy" for male cats! This terrible invasive surgery literally cuts off their penis! When Allopathic vets commercial diets don't work they quickly turn to this expensive and truly invasive surgery. Normally this is just a temp fix to a problem that only needs a raw diet to cure the problem. Many cats have died from it or had to be put down because of the side effects they cause the male cat. PLEASE don't take this way out for your male kitty. There is a better more natural way to help him.

If health is the objective, the only way to achieve that is by feeding food that matches the genetic expectation. Not a single heat-processed food on the market – regardless of wild claims about what it does or does not have – is the food an animal is genetically designed for.

King Ramses Suffered With Feline Urological Syndrome ( FUS) For Five Years..

Feline Urological Syndrome (FUS) :There is little doubt that F.U.S. is directly related to a cats' life style and diet. A nutritionally balanced raw diet has been proven over and over to prevent and stop this heart breaking disease.

Our 16 yr old, King Ramses, struggled with FUS (Feline Urological Syndrome) from 1994 to 1998. If anyone has a feline with this problem, they know the tremendous, expense, stress and discomfort that goes with it for both the cat and the caregiver. With complete joy, I can now announce that after feeding ONLY a balanced raw diet to King Ramses since 1996, he has not had any health or urinary problems what so ever. In addition, his yearly blood work has always been in the good range. December 27, 2006, Dr Paulsen (our feline Ophthalmologist) said King Ramses blood work was excellent for cat of 16.5 years of age; good kidney, thyroid, liver and heart levels.

2007 King Ramses was successful in having a corneal sequestrum removed with Classic Homeopathy after a year of trying conventional medications and surgery.

If you have a kitty suffering with FELINE UROLOGICAL SYNDROME (FUS), or any urinary problems, I couldn't stress enough to you that a good balanced raw diet will work for you cat too. Call or email me if you have more questions. Call 817-496-4087 or email Info@felineinstincts.com.

2008 Update. We lost our precious King Ramses from a cancer tumor on his liver. The grief this brings us is indescribable.

We were able to bring Ramses' liver back to normal while we tried to shrink or kill the tumor. However, the tumor took his blood and bone marrow shortly after. The full story is here..

Lady Natascha 1989-2010

Our 17 year old female kitty, Lady Natascha had elevated thyroid levels on her blood work back in mid 1998 before I started her on a raw diet and Standard Process "Thytrophin PMG" from my vet Dr Gardner. After she was on a balanced raw diet for just three months her levels went down considerably. By the end of 1998 her levels went back to normal. Our girl has continued to eat ONLY a raw diet with NO thyroid issues again.

Lady Natascha is 16 years old...that is 80 years in our lifetime. Her kidney levels were slightly elevated on May of 2005, along with a slight cardiac problem. We now have her on extra supplements, besides her raw diet with My Natural Cat, prescribed by Dr Gardner; Standard Process Feline Cardiac& Feline Renal Support, along with Coz Q10 daily. After 30 days we had her rechecked. Her creatin (shows Kidney damage) levels went back to the high end of normal when they were above the high. Natascha's appetite has increased and her weight came back. Cardiac problems can also make a cat too nauseous to eat.

Dr Gardner has again brought our girl through another crisis. Although, we cannot change the aging process our beloved fur friends go through, we can give them a better quality of life while they age with a natural raw diet and proper supplements by your Holistic vet. We will continue to treat our girl with the additional supplements from Dr Gardner and feed her a balanced raw diet with My Natural Cat.

Lady Natascha is doing truly great. She is still on her kidney and heart supplements while eating our kidney diet and our regular diet. Her energy is strong and she eats very well. We are so proud of how well she is doing at the age of 19 years old this year.

We lost our girl New Years day. She was 100 years old in our lifetime (20 in hers) but not nearly with me long enough. They never are.

Good morning: You wanted me to let you know how my cats liked your product. Absolutely love it!!! Made up my mix and froze so I can just take out, thaw and feed. I am getting ready to order more product if that tells you anything:) Thank you too for your rapid service. I truly appreciate it. Coming for Texas to North Carolina I figured it would take at least a week, try 2-3 days. I am impressed. Love it and my cats love it!

I just want to thank you for caring about my concerns. I know you run a business, but you always put people above money and I just want to let you know that I always appreciate you.

Six beautiful, healthy and very happy Feline Instincts cat customers share their home in Virgina with Diane and hubby...

Jerome on the top, and then Lacy (left) and Daisy (right), then Jake and then Sammy in the front and the 6th kitty Lily was taking the picture :).

"Wink" the 1 eyed cat has been doing well on this for the last year. He was a cat we adopted from 1 of the Vet Clinics I was working in about 7 years ago. Once he became a member of our family, he ruled!!

He has his off days, but with 2 dogs to deal with who doesn't!!! One is his buddy Max, a 3 1/2 year old lab we adopted when he was 1 yr. He now has a sister "Kat" a 6 month old lab x to teach all the ropes to!!!

We ordered My Natural Cat with Chicken Liver and the Salmon Oil in April of this year for our year old female cat Punkin. She transitioned from dry to raw with absolutely no problems whatsoever and is thriving. Everything your web page speaks of is truth and I am so thankful to Feline Instincts.

It is very easy to mix with the raw chicken with the My Natural Cat and the Salmon Oil, and I know she is getting optimal nutrition for her health.

Her coat is shiny and beautiful, her stools are less frequent and smaller and she is energetic.

We will continue to order your excellent products because we know that a raw diet with supplements is for her optimal health as God intended.

Again, Thank you for your dedication to providing excellent vitamins to a sweet and loving member of our family, Ms. Punkin!

Here are a few pics of the boys... Phoenix is the silver/ebony Serengeti; Raptor is the brown/black F1 Bengal. in one of the pictures, they are sitting side by side on their mats. "go to mat" is a very, very useful behavior to establish for high energy cats. :)

I have been using your raw diet for about 3 months now and it’s going well. I wanted to share my storage procedure in case it is useful to anyone else. I researched glass containers that would stand up to freezing and came up with 4 oz jelly jars (available at the local hardware store). These will hold ½ cup of the raw diet mix. At feeding time I scoop out the thawed mixture into a shallow cereal type bowl, cover it with aluminum foil, and float the bowl in a mixing bowl of hot water. I find the aluminum foil is reusable for at least a week.

Following up to my second order: when I first found your site and mix, I saw the picture of one of your kitties licking the bowl. I thought, yeah, right. I know how hard it is to get cats to switch and especially to raw. My kitties accepted your food almost immediately. And here is a picture of one of my 5 kitties licking the bowl! They all LOVE this food and their coats are super soft and shiny.

Roberta has a new kitten and he started right on My Natural Cat. Now Yuki has a play mate.

It’s been over a year since my last order. My two little furballs, Sheenah and Santos are still doing great and they just love their food. I tell everyone I know about the great benefits of the raw food diet and to check out your website if they have cats. I also have my vet now looking into it as she is just amazed how well the two cats are doing now.

Since last February there have been some new additions to our house. We added 2 dogs to our household! Loki in March 09, a Doberman / lg Hound mix who is about 16 months old now and a month ago we also adopted Stella, a 10 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Sheenah has gotten used to the dogs and knows how to behave around them, little Santos is pretty much a little scaredy cat and stays upstairs in his “dog free zone”. I’ve attached some pictures of Sheenah and Santos enjoying the outdoors last summer and some of the new pups.

These little sisters' names are Bella (lilac coat kitty) and Cinder (chocolate coat kitty)... Enjoying their first chicken breast & thigh Feline Iinstincts (My Natural Cat) meal. Bella hugging Cinder.

I am very happy to share with you that Zoe is doing very well on your raw diet recipe!! She loves it. Didn't even have to use any enticements!!

My boys are looking phenomenal. It's only been about 2 weeks since I switched them over to FI but the difference is noticeable. I was already feeding Nature's Variety frozen raw.

The breeder of my Serengeti was over and she was completely impresses with how he was looking - "Ok, what are you feeding him? What's the name of that new raw supplement?" :) Their coats are amazing right now, especially the Serengeti because he has a super short, tight coat that is just so shiny and soft right now that it's difficult to stop touching him. Wonderful.

My cat Harley has been eating your raw diet for over a year now, and I am completely satisfied with the results. Since he has not complained, I guess that he is too! He is healthy, active, and has a very glossy coat, which is very pronounced as he is a Main Coon with very long fur and an extremely long

I am a customer of your food. It saved my boy, Shere Khan, an egyptian mau from his food allergy and saved the life of a friend's cat who was about to be put down until I told her about your raw meat diet.

Here are some photos of a few of my beloved beauties. The boy is the silver one, the biggest 20 pound boy, Shere Khan.

I wanted to let you know that I have been looking for a good homeo vet for a while now, finding them but never feeling a connection or a trust with them and having gone over and over your website devouring its information I found Dr Gardner. Even though we havent officially had our consult yet she has been so much help and having just found out that my oldest kitty of 12 had a jump in her kidneys levels I am nervous and worried but I know Dr. Gardner has some good tricks up her sleeve.

Thanks for your website and all the good info on there. The help has been priceless. And we love the food mix too!

Hi Felice,
I just wanted to let you know I took my cats into the vet today with your product and brochure and showed it to my vet. She said it sounds like a great diet and a great product for my cats she wrote down your information and said that she would give it out to anyone who asked about alternative diets. I hope you get some business from it because you really seem to care and it means a lot to have a website like yours to turn to when you're trying to save your furry babies lives.

Hi, Felice,
Just so you know, my mom's two kitties are still doing amazingly well with your supplements. I am so thrilled that we found your site and could change their diet so easily.. They've been on raw food for over a year now and the older one, Mona (17+), has had no negative changes in her kidney values and only positive ones in her over-all health while the younger, Biscuit (14), is so playful and happy that she is like a new cat. I have been passing on the url of your website to just about everyone I know with pets because of the great results we've had.

Thanks for a great product and helpful customer support!
Sincerely,
Felicia - .Seattle Washington

My mom asked me to write you to tell you my story. My mom and dad found me as a stray 5 years ago. Boy are they ever good to me! But, they had never had a cat before and they fed me nasty crunchy kibbles that made me SO thirsty. But, thank goodness that they let me outside like I was used to and I was able to catch an occasional baby bunny or mouse. YUM! Not to mention what fun they are to play with. I had bladder crystals a year ago and cost then $1200. And boy - was it ever painful! I never like drinking water, so I guess I paid the price.

Anyway....mom started learning about the alkaline diet for her and dad - and, when they started it they felt so much better, they lost weight, and they were healthier. Mom said that, since my sis, Megan the Bichon, died last year, she wanted me to be as healthy as I could be. Well, she started researching and found your website. Read it - TOTALLY! So, she bought your stuff, a powder mix and a little extra chicken liver powder, and then went to buy a nice mix of white and dark meat hormone free chicken and spends about 1/2 hour every 2 weeks or so making my new food. I didn't really like it at first and I went on STRIKE! But, mom is relentless and did not give in - so I had to eat it or go looking for lots more bunnies (who were much bigger now).

Well, the good news is that I have lost 4 of my 19 pounds, my hair is so soft and manageable that I could be calling a hair care company to make some extra money, and I no longer shed very much. Lucky for me because vacuuming was really hard for me to do. Now, I love this food. I really feel better - younger somehow. I know that I only get fed twice a day and I am ready by my bowl at the correct time. You are one great cook, Felice. Thanks for loving me enough to show my mom what to do, and for being so friendly when she calls you. She is even looking for a homeopathic vet near here for me. WHEW - it's about time!

I just wanted to let you know that your product is fantastic! My cats love it! My partner Emmet and I recently made a purchase of "My Natural Cat" powdered premix and a bottle of the salmon oil. How easy it is to make the food, bag it, and freeze! I adore the idea of knowing what my animals are eating. They are full of energy, happy and always receive compliments from everyone on how they look so healthy and how their coats are so soft and shiny.

Thank you and always good fortune your way!

Renee and Emmet

Your product is amazing. My cat "Josh" looked like he was on the brink of death. No matter what I fed him he threw it up and had non-stop diarrhea. The vet at first said he extreme weight loss was due to me not feeding him enough. They then realized after several visits that I was feeding him properly he was just not getting the nutrients that he needed. I then resorted to boiling chicken and rice but to no avail he was not able to keep it all down. I found your website by googling and read through the testimonies. He has been on the diet for about three weeks and is doing great. He is gaining weight, gobbles the food down as soon as I can get it out of the baggies. His coat looks so good. I am so thankful for your help.

I received my package of goodies today and was able to introduce everything to my three cats at dinner tonight. Great success! Everybody eagerly ate their buffalo with the My Natural Cat supplement, liver powder and salmon oil. And thank you so much for including the three catnip mice. Simon, Lily and Azul love them!

I’m so impressed with the vibrant energy and superior quality of your supplements. I love that you include the recipe right on the jar and have pictures of your beautiful feline family members on the jars too. Super products, fabulous presentation!

Here is my other son- tiger's photo. He is also eat the raw meat with yours from 7 months to now (he is 2 year old now).

I cannot wait to take Baloo into the vets for his next check up & show how beautiful he now is, honestly his eyes are sparkling, he has gained a nice weight, his coat is lush & he has lots more energy.

Hi Felice!
I hope you are doing really well, and that your little furry ones are happy and beautiful as ever. Fairy and Aisha are doing very well. Fairy is recovering fine and his bladder inflamation is going down now. The hepatic lipidosis is also reversing and his weight is stable and good. They both love your food, they get bags of energy from it, racing around like fire and waves! and the freeze dried chicken sends Fairy crazy! he miews like a kitten for it! and thank you so much for the pillows, they are so sweet :) when they arrived Fairy dived straight for them, Aisha began her daily hunting expeditions for Felicemouse. And I don't know how to thank you for the supplements, I know thay they have helped so much and are playing a major part in Fairy's successful recovery, for the liver (Standard Process Hepatic Support) and bladder (VetriScience Renal support). Now that the hepatic support tablets are finishing I will start giving him the Renal Standard Process. He likes the standard process tablets and eats them off my hand, Aisha also swallows them with an air of determination. They must know it's good for them. Thank you so much Felice. Now the next step is consulting Dr Gardner for any extra maintenance support. I will let you know what she says. I can see such a difference in both with the raw diet, they are more alert, and it's as if that wild side of their characters shows in the way they move and ..I just know they feel more confident and tons better. Thank God.

I got the natural cat supplement from you yesterday, thanks. My cats seemed to like it just fine, I made up four pounds of food last night with it

Hi.
I just want to thank you, thank you, thank you, for making the "Liv A Littles" freeze dried 100% chicken cat treats!! It really helped me transition my cats onto raw food. One of my cats has IBD, and the other is a dry food addict. I crush these treats up and sprinkle them onto the raw food and they eat it up now. I can not believe my dry food addict cat is eating raw!!! These treats are like gold to me!!!!!

My Kitty Reagan has really taken to the raw meat meals! However, I do believe it’s because of the chicken liver powder I’ve been sprinkling on it. I don’t believe she’d eat it if it didn’t have that sprinkled on it. So, yesterday, I ordered some from you. You have no idea how happy I am that my kitty is eating this food. At each meal, she’s eaten all of it except for a couple of times when she left less than a tsp. in the bowl. I am so proud of her!

Thank you for your wonderful raw meat diet.So far my cat stool form so well and he become more healthy thus gaining weight. Really sometimes it's quite hard to make food for him everyday if we were busy about our job, but i think it's worth to do for him continously. He likes your treats also!!

I am happy to report that all 3 of them are enthusiastically eating your diet! The youngest ate it immediately, the oldest took about a day and a half, and my middle girl took about a week of feeding the diet mixed with plain chopped up deer meat(starting with 50/50 and gradually working our way up to 100% natural cat diet which she thoroughly enjoys now). Thanks for all of your help in getting me going.
