Feeding cats raw meat has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include: it helps cats develop their bite force, as the chewing process provides ample friction to their teeth. Secondly, it can help clean a cat's teeth and reduce bad breath. Furthermore, raw meat is rich in unprocessed protein, making it an excellent source of protein for cats.
The downside is that raw meat may contain parasites, such as Toxoplasma gondii and roundworms, which can easily cause symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. Also, domestic pet cats are used to easily digestible canned food and cat food, and their digestive systems have become more delicate. Suddenly eating raw meat directly may be difficult for their digestive systems to adapt to, easily causing some gastrointestinal diseases.
