Most cat pet owners like to give cats the food that is recommended by vets and health experts, basically food that can be bought from supermarkets with pictures of carts on them. These foods while giving your cat a complete diet do not provide enough variation and flavour. The cat may be deprived of some juicy and tasty meals if all it gets is those dry food packets.
Cats really like raw and smoked fish, they can smell them a long distance away. I have given smoked fish to my cat tons of times and she loves it. It really surprises me how much more food my cat eats when its not the food that is made for cats only.
Cooked meat is also another tasty alternative. Chicken especially is what cats love when its cooked. If you do, however, decide to give cooked meat or fish then do not just simply leave it in the bowl as flies will soon start finding their way near the food and possibly giving your cat health problems. Covering up the food with a small plate usually does the trick.
It has to be said that conventional cat food that can be bough in a supermarket is usually cheaper than feeding them cooked meat and much more easy as no preparation is required. You also have to take into consideration that some cats are more picky than others and who knows what kind of stuff they come across in their travels outside. It is not uncommon for cats to catch and eat birds such as robins and so on.
