Transitioning cats to wet food...then raw

[ladyhawk1]

Hello, first-time poster here.

I just recently came across info about the BARF diet for pets and I figured it might help with the vomiting of half-digested kibble I've noticed from one of my cats in the last several months.

My cats are 10 & 11 yrs old, and have always had constant access to dry food (most recently Medi-cal Dental Formula) with the occasional "treat" of canned grocery store wet stuff.

Today is only 2.5 days since I started to only feed wet food to both cats, at two daily feedings (am/pm). I had initially tried to add some raw chicken and bones from Paws-itively Raw Foods, but neither liked it. So, I'm sticking to the wet food only for now.

My concern is that neither is eating the quantity that is recommended on the can for their size (~10 lbs), so my irrational fear is that I'm starving them. Should I be concerned? Any words of wisdom?

I still would like to eventually have them eating only raw food (ie: Nature's Variety) but it seems this will take longer than I originally thought.

Thanks in advance, Jen
