I am quiet agree with chinchilla about feeding raw..cat major nutrition is taurine and it contains the most in meat or fish..so why not kibbles? as kibbles is cooked in very high temperature which may cause most of nutrition is cooked away included the taurine...kibbles may contain protein, but it is lack of natural enzyme which is very crucial for cat to digest the protein so that it can be absorb properly in the body..kibbles is sold widely for people who do not have time to prepare raw meat...but if we wan the best for our cat, i am totally agree that raw meat is the proper diet. That's wat most of cat bring "home"..the dead rat or mice..and in the wild, mother cat will bring the "dead mouse" for its kittens..and yes, i have seen it by my own eyes...no offense ok... everybody has their own point of view..and i just wan to share with all cat lovers..and no need to say malaysia boleh lah, as all technology that we have now also following and duplicating western countries..so why not to just open our mind to observe n reseach more on raw diet, it might be what our cats need..

Ya, Kibble(dry cat food) seriously is not cat FOOD. Is very obvious cat is obligate carnivore(100% hunt fresh animal meat to survive). Can you imagine, how fantastic science is that make people rather choose convenient over they cat good health, they never think that the manufacturer design the dry food from the starting point -->'fresh' ingredient --> high temperature cooking --> preservative --> transport from factory to store --> pet shop --> MANY MONTHS of shielf live--> cat user --> sustaining to export to other country -- oversea cat owner--> biscuit in the bowl --> MANY DAYs IN THE BOWL which wont spoil and go bad.
Cat is design to survive on the protein, amino acid taurine and other vitamins mineral COME FROM FRESH meat (small prey, chicken, bird etc. NO grinding the meat and bone for still have plenty of teeth), not cooked meat and dry matter. Dry biscuit definately wont clean the teeth, infact building more problem for teeth to have tartar build up, later get rotten teeth. Sparkling white teeth can only obtain from cat chewing on raw meaty BONE. Preparing a raw diet is just as simple as 1,2,3 , the money involve is so cheap compare with what the 'premium' dry food price for and super good result for the cat over all health.
This is another article written by an VET about raw diet
http://www.catinfo.org/ plenty of info to study and learn about and MOVING ON TO 2010 raw feed cat, not dry feed cat!

So, i just give my cat raw fish? Its fine but, raw meat and chicken fillet?

No, you go with chicken meat for begining , not fish Like chicken fillet, definately a good start(you can't just feed meat alone, you need bone n organ to be complete). Feeding once a while fish is ok for cat, not everday, everymeal. In nature, fish is not natural food for cat as well, fish contains an enzyme that destroys thiamin vitamin B1 in cat(causing kidney problem). Where to get plenty of thiamin? FRESH RAW MEAT. You can slowly switch your cat from what ever you feeding them toward 100% raw feed, follow your cat pase, cause some cat may not know that that is they food, and take time to 'convince', some cat is instantly pick up that ideal. Because they been feeding dry biscuit for live, 'forgot' they are carnivore. You can read this -->
http://www.rawfedcats.org/practicalguide.htm you will easily pick up the ideal. Once you move into raw, you will never look back, your cat will thank you for doing the right thing for him not for your self.
The ideal for raw feed cat mixture is follow as close as possible to the ratio cat eat in the wild, one of the commend prey for cat is wild mice. Mice's build up is about 80% of meat, 10% bone, and 10% of organ meat(half must be liver).
