This one-hour audio exploration examines one of the strongest arguments for feeding cats a homemade raw diet: three decades of real-world results.

Drawing on the continuous observation of 51 study cats over a 30-year period, the discussion explores the long-term safety and practical outcomes of feeding fresh, moisture-rich food made with human-grade ingredients and TCfeline premixes. Topics include the complete absence of food-borne illness within the study group, observations relating to obesity and urinary health, and the profound nutritional contrast between fresh meat and the ultra-processed animal protein powders commonly used in commercial pet foods.

The conversation also addresses the practicality, accessibility, and potential cost advantages of homemade feeding compared to many premium canned diets.
