When i shop for food for my cays i usually get fish and meat. Once i get home i sort them out into smaller bags and throw them in the freezer, this way i can take one bag and use that to feed that for the day. Today i got bluefish and they were going crazy from the smell. once i removed all the flesh from the skin and sorted it into bags I showed my cats the skin. Poor guy didn't know what to do with that 1 foot long great smelling (to them) food. they were going crazy trying to figure out fow to eat it. i ended up cutting it into smaller pieces and they gobbled it up in no time. They love skin because it's chewy and they love the smell. Once they were done all 3 were sitting and licking themselves trying to get rid of the super strong smell. They are so cute, I wish i could get just the skin lol they would love it so much.
What is your cat going crazy over? Have you tried giving your cat raw fish?

oh man! Blue fish, I love that stuff! I can't get it in Texas - dern it! I used to eat it in NJ, and it is, hands down, my favorite fish!
no, haven't fed my horde of cats raw fish, might give them ideas for raw other things!
I already have a cat who we call "The Cat Who Will Eat Us In Our Sleep!" he's the white eared one in my avatar

rofl my cats only attack my legs when i sleep lol one of them at least. Blue fish is my cat's favourite and it's actually the cheapest wild fish i found, so i'm glad they love it so much, it keeps my wallet safe too lol. There was actually a study done of cat food and cats are much healthier if they eat raw, that's the only reason i food my cats raw food... I hate handling raw meat and fish (i'm vegan) but for my babies i'll just get over it lol. the cat on the left side on your avitar looks like my Rocky, just smaller lol. very cute cats :)

lol yes, mine is huge too... he can easily stand up on his back paws and his head pops up by my waist... ver easy to pet him like that lol. very muscular too. We named him rocky because he looks like he is boxing when he fights his brothers. he gets up on his back paws and swipes 3-4 times with his left and then one strong with his right :)

Hi there,
Some times I give them some raw fish when I buy myself some fish to cook, but usually I give them cat food.
My cats seldom get carzy about their food, they just get carzy about my dely of giving them food, there is a time that I got up late for work and in a hurry, and forget to give them food for the day, when I got home, three of them jump on me for food, that's the first time they got so annoyed. :)
Good day!

Each of my cats has his own favourite food, they love it so much that when i give it the other two cats would just stand by waiting for their brother to get as much as he wants because it's impossible for them to get near food. blue fish is the only food all 3 love so much :) One time i forgot to give them food at night and they ran out of dry food too in the middle of the night, so in the morning the gobbled up the amount of food that is usually enough for the whole day.

My cat must be strange because when I buy fish I always cut some off for her and she won't touch it...seems strange to me for a cat not to like fish...gee a foot long that must have been a big fish, but then I only buy fillets...I don't think I would know what to do with a whole fish...hahahahah

It was a fillet too, but they sell it with skin because it's very hard to get the skin off without destroying the rest of it. i don't know if farm fish is the same way, we usually get wild fish, but this one it falling apart very easily :( they love the skin though lol
it's really is strange that your cat doesn't like fish though, but they have their own tastes too lol just like we do :)
