BARNETT2 Taurine in fish Study on the lack of taurine in mothers and puppies Taurine: Taurine (from the Latin taurus, bull, as it was originally isolated from bull bile by the German scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-1365cf58d_ammino-sulfur-ammonium acid is an acidic chemical abundant in many tissues of various animals, including humans. Small polypeptides containing taurine have been identified, but to date no aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase has been found capable of specifically recognizing taurine and capable of incorporating it into RNA. Taurine covers numerous and important functions; is, for example, a precursor of bile salts. to produce new bile salts and replace those lost in the faeces), participates in the growth and maturation of nervous tissues, contributes to the maintenance of good eyesight and correct heart function and, in the female, has an important role at the reproductive level. A deficiency can lead to un heart failure, poor immune response, poor neonatal growth, deafness, lower number of fetuses, resorptions, miscarriages, low birth weight, low survival rate of newly born kittens born, and birth defects, such as, abnormal development of the zampe posterior, and skeletal abnormalities including curved spines and short stature. Taurine is also found in some bacterial species in more modest quantities and in rare cases in plants; _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb358d_ 136bad5cf found in red algae, but not in brown algae o green , some traces in some plant foods, such as, nuts. Taurine is also present at high levels in the insects (don't be surprised if cats love to hunt them). Taurine is abundant in the tissues of most fish, birds and rodents, and in lower concentrations in larger animals, such as cattle. Taurine in cats, is mainly synthesized in the liver by aminoacids containing sulfur, methionine and cysteine, and the action of numerous enzymes, including cysteine sulfur dioxide and cysteine dioxinic acid . In cats, as the activity of liver enzymes is very low, the biosynthesis of taurine from its precursors is insufficient_cc781905-bbc3b-3194 unlike dogs, taurine intake is therefore essential. Furthermore cats waste large amounts of taurine, in fact, like dogs, they only use taurine for the conjugation of bile acids, while humans and rats can also use glycine (Morris et al., 1987), this leads to a continuous loss of taurine, such as a substantial part is not recovered from the entero-hepatic circulation and is lost in the faeces. Why did the cat lose its ability to synthesize an essential nutrient such as taurine? In these circumstances the production of taurine is a waste of energy, while the deamination and desulfurization of cysteine is an alternative metabolic pathway that allows cats to produce energy, rather than taurine from the catabolism of the sulfur amino acids . Taurine is one of the most abundant amino acids in animal tissues, cats that live in the wild and which forage themselves for food by hunting, are not deficient in taurine. A mouse - contains a very high amount of taurine compared to other types of meat - about 2.4 mg / gram . The good news is that taurine is present in many types of muscle meat, is abundant in the heart. Chicken hearts are a fantastic source of taurine for cats. The amino acid taurine-sulfonic is now recognized as essential for the cat that needs about 10 mg / kg adult. In the last decade, cats fed with diets characterized by an insufficient presence of taurine have shown two diseases, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and progressive retinal atrophy. Unfortunately, only some clinical pictures can be resolved with a subsequent supplementation of taurine and it is therefore important that this amino acid is present in adequate quantities in any diet for cats. In order to have an optimal amino acid level, canned feeds need a higher concentration of taurine than dry feeds. The reason for this difference is not known, but a reason can be found in the difference in the formulation of the two products. Furthermore, since taurine is "free", as previously mentioned, it is not incorporated into the proteins, furthermore this molecule is thermosensitive and si alloy_cc7 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_all water very quickly so it is easy to lose it in the defrosting phase of the meat- For these reasons it is advisable to administer to the cat carne cruda not minced. A diet based on pulpy bones and organs is abundant in taurine (arginine and arachidonic acid). However, heat destroys about 2/3 of the taurine content (some research says that the heat destroys between 50% and 100% of taurine). Heat destroys all essential amino acids, enzymes, and a high percentage of nutrients. This becomes a problem if you feed your cat cooked meat. Not there are clinical studies fact on the daily need_cc781905-gattofied-136 in the diet of a takadin it takes months or even years, to see the results of a taurine deficient diet . Therefore, very few experiments have been done, however, in the few controlled clinical trials that have been done it has been observed that the cats given 500 mg / kg _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_food- of taurine in their daily diet showed no signs of deficiency. At higher doses, researchers saw a slight improvement in reproduction. In a 17-month study, cats given were given 375 mg / kg daily taurine had _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136badd a normal value ERG, as opposed to 250mg which was too low and caused cardiac abnormalities. The National Research Council (NRC) specifies that the minimum recommended amount of taurine for adult cats is 0.0099 kg. per kilogram of body weight. For kittens, the minimum quantity is 0.017 kg. per kilogram of body weight, but la recommended dose of 0.33 kg. of taurine per kilogram of body weight . If you want to see the long-term results of a taurine deficiency in cats all you need to do is take a research from Dr. Frances Pottenger. From 1932 to 1942, Pottenger conducted a food experiment con foods To summarize his experiment: he divided about 100 cats into two groups: one group was fed with raw milk and raw meat, and the other group was fed cooked food and pasteurized milk. Cats fed raw food, grew up healthy and si are reproduced. The cats fed cooked foods, destroyed their salute, fell ill with blindness, heart disease, high death rate of the kittens, until they were no longer able to reproduce. As you can see, cats that were fed cooked foods had all the classic symptoms of a taurine deficiency. (NOTE: Pottenger's intention was not to study the nutritional needs of cats, but to demonstrate that "facial deformities" in humans - narrowed jaws, crowded teeth, brittle bones, and even difficult pregnancies - was the result of our Western diet made of industrial foods). Earlier this year, I had a couple of clients who came to me with cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which is a heart disease that causes the heart to thicken. , what I found interesting is that both of these cats were fed the same brand of a processed "holistic" cat food (how can holistic food be processed? this is what I call a oxymoron!). For me, this was a red flag. And, this is why ... most vets will tell you that the cause of HCM is unknown, or that some breeds are predisposed to HCM. I believe the nutrigenomics _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ should be considered. Nutrigenomics is the study of the effects of foods and food components on gene expression. I suspected that this particular brand of cat food may have been deficient in taurine, but I checked the pet food recalls page on the FDA website , did not see the brand indicated ... However, this reminds me of a story: In 1988, a veterinary cardiology student noticed that one of his feline patients who was being treated for congestive cardiomyopathy had an extremely low blood serum ur . Now, this cat has been fed "" best quality "feed" food "premium _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-1365cf58d_commercial label, which they contained all the daily requirement of taurine. The perplexed veterinarian, came back then check other clinical cases of cardiomia_cardiomia-136b-136b-big surprise found that almost all cases of this disease had low levels of taurine in the blood. When the cats were given a taurine supplement many of them showed a noticeable improvement. What was going on? All the cats were eating "di premium quality" which supposedly contained the necessary levels of taurine! The problem was that the taurine was deactivated during the cooking procedure of processing the cat food. You see, the "feeding paths" of pet food manufacturers' only last about 6 months, so if the animal is still alive and appears to be in good health after 6 months, _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ pet food is authorized for public sale. However, it takes more than 6 months to see the effects of a taurine deficiency in a cat. In any case, due to the discovery by this veterinary student, the pet food manufacturer corrected their mistake but, I can assure you these nutritional errors continue to occur today. If you don't believe me, just take a look at the FDA website on pet food. Now, to answer the question: Is it necessary to add a taurine supplement to raw meat? Well, I have already mentioned what happens to vitamins, enzymes and all essential amino acids when the meat is cooked ... but, with a raw meat diet the concern is only for the defrosting phase. When the meat is frosted there is only a slight decrease in taurine. Furthermore, since taurine is soluble in water and during defrosting some water is released from the meat, taurine can get lost in it ... If you are still concerned about the taurine content in raw meat then I would suggest the following: Since the highest amount of taurine is present in the muscle make sure you give it to your cat, muscle, and especially the heart (the heart is a muscle). Let's take a look at the taurine content of some meats: HERE (NOTE: Taurine is at its highest level in the small heart muscle of a mouse). If you still want to add a taurine supplement to your cat's food, remember that what you are adding is synthetic and not natural taurine. Synthetic Taurine is obtained from isethionic acid (2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid), which in turn is obtained from the reaction of ethylene oxide with aqueous sodium bisulfite. Another approach is the reaction of aziridine with sulphurous acid, which also leads directly to taurine. Personally, I would avoid any taurine coming from China, simply based on their reputation for exporting contaminated food. Perhaps it is impossible to avoid buying from China as it is the leading exporter of synthetic taurine. As of 2010, China alone has more than 40 taurine producers. Most of these companies employ the ethanolamine method for a total production of around 3,000 tons per year. An Important Word About Ready Commercial Barf & Taurine I'm not a huge fan of raw ground beef for several reasons: Firstly, it's soft, so_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136ccbad5cf58d -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_does not clean teeth, ( is the chewing of the bones to track _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136badaro). furthermore, minced meat is not a natural way in which a cat would have eaten its prey. Also, I do not like i specialized brands in raw ground they do not contain appropriate fruit, vegetable and vegetable to a carnivore), and synthetic vitamins. Some ready-made barf preparations, already contain bones e organi which is OK if you have a cat that doesn't eat them, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136_bad5cfandoli all i days this would be too much and could cause; liquid stool, overdose of vitamin A. (bones and organs must be added in proportion to the diet). But, more importantly, grinding the meat reduces the taurine content, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _cc790-5 therefore increases the surface of the meat -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_la exposes the most to air, which entails the oxidation of the to air, this entails the oxidation of the_cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Also, due to exposure to air, grinding may cause a decrease in other nutrients , such as, vitamin E or vitamin B6. Additionally, grinding creates the perfect environment for bacteria to grow, and bacteria also use the taurine in the meat, further reducing the total amount of taurine available to your cat. So, if you feed your cat a raw ground diet, they can't get all the taurine they need to thrive. What we can do for our cats is give them a rotation of various solid whole pieces of fresh meat (rabbits, chicken, turkey, quail, mice, etc.), organs, bones, and limit the time the meat is kept in the freezer e above all, do not grind.

Il ruolo cruciale della "Fibra Animale" Nel mondo della nutrizione dei gatti, siamo abituati a pensare alle fibre come a un concetto esclusivamente vegetale: zucca, zucchine, carote, psillio o psyllum... etcc Una ricerca pubblicata sul Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition (Depauw et al.) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22074361/ ha gettato luce su un concetto spesso ignorato, spesso rifiutato, ma fondamentale per i carnivori obbligati: la fibra animale. Lo Studio Lo studio ha monitorato 14 ghepardi in cattività, confrontando due alimentazioni diverse: Carne di manzo integrata (senza parti strutturali) Prede intere (coniglio completo) I risultati sono stati sorprendenti. I Risultati Chiave Riduzione dei Metaboliti Tossici Con prede intere (pelle, ossa, cartilagine, pelo), i ricercatori hanno riscontrato: Drastica diminuzione di indolo e fenolo nelle feci Queste sostanze tossiche derivano dalla putrefazione proteica Se assorbite, sovraccaricano reni e organi vitali Microbioma Più Sano Profilo di acidi grassi a catena corta più equilibrato Fermentazione intestinale più regolare Flora batterica benefica e stabile L'Effetto Prebiotico dei Tessuti Connettivi Collageni, cheratine e proteine strutturali agiscono come: Fibra naturale nel colon Regolarizzano il transito intestinale Nutrono la flora batterica benefica Attenzione! La BARF non è solo carne cruda. La vera BARF “ quella che porta i maggiori benefici” replica la struttura della preda intera. Il gatto è un carnivoro obbligato evolutosi per consumare l'animale intero. Ignorare componenti come ossa polpose, connettivi, piume o pelliccia significa privare l'intestino del tuo gatto della "fibra animale" di cui ha estremamente bisogno. I Tre Elementi Cruciali 1. Le Ossa Polpose Non sono solo calcio e fosforo. Forniscono: Struttura rigida = "spazzolino naturale" per i denti Feci compatte e ben formate Collagene e glicosaminoglicani = articolazioni e intestino forti Azione diretta come fibra animale 2. Connettivi e Cartilagini Spesso scartati, ma essenziali: Ricchi di collagene e proteine strutturali Agiscono come "pulitori naturali" intestinali Alimentano il microbioma benefico 3. Piume e Pelliccia (la Fibra Dimenticata) Sebbene non essenziali in ogni pasto: Cheratina = fibra animale pura Pulizia meccanica naturale delle pareti intestinali Replica esattamente ciò che un gatto mangerebbe in natura Come Introdurre la Fibra Animale in Sicurezza Per animali non abituati è fondamentale un'introduzione graduale! I Passaggi Corretti Inizia con poco: Orecchie di coniglio ( qualche pezzetto) Pulcini essiccati ( 1/4) Quaglie piumate ( inizialmente, leva 2/3 delle piume) Pelliccia un pizzico Monitora attentamente: Osserva la reazione del tuo animale Se ben tollerato, aumenta gradualmente Massimo del 1-2%: Non superare questa percentuale della razione giornaliera Segnali di allarme: Riduci o sospendi se noti: Vomito Diarrea Stitichezza prolungata Consulta Sempre Se il gatto non è sano o se l animale è anziano -geriatrico consulta il Veterinario Nutrizionista per un piano personalizzato.

La carne non contiene un rapporto ottimale calcio/ fosforo. Correggere una carenza di calcio con carbonato di calcio, lattato di calcio, gluconato di calcio. Soccer As can be seen in the table below most animal foods do not contain an optimal calcium / phosphorus ratio - Our attention should be directed to correcting a potential imbalance. Remember: you cannot correct a calcium deficiency with any source of bone meal, you must use a source that has little or no percentage of phosphorus, such as cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, gluconate of football. There are many different opinions on what the ideal Ca: P ratio should be, but I think it is reasonable to recommend a ratio between 1.0 and 1.3 parts of calcium to 1 part of phosphorus. Unfortunately, it may be very difficult to manage this relationship with the BARF or Whole prey, as the report _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b_bad5cf5c5-3194-bb3b-136bcc7-136bcc7 which might 136bad5cf58d_be adequate for younger cats, may not be adequate for older cats .... If necessary, it is easier to calculate the Ca: P ratio more precisely in diets without bone supply. To achieve the above recommended ratio, you need to add 1000 mg of calcium (approximately 3 grams of eggshell powder) to 1 kg of raw boneless meat ._cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ SOURCE: https://feline-nutrition.org/nutrition/the-importance-of-calcium-supplements-in-homemade-cat-food Calcium Supplements by Ch. M. Ruessheim updated: July 2, 2002 Calcium supplements come in several forms (calcium salts), but only part of the calcium salt is elemental calcium. It is important to know how much elemental calcium a supplement provides because all the dietary recommendations refer to elemental calcium. To calculate how much elemental calcium is in a supplement, multiply the total milligrams (mg) by the fraction of elemental calcium to get total mg of elemental calcium. See examples below: Calcium carbonate: = 40% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg calcium carbonate x 0.40 = 200 mg elemental calcium Calcium citrate: = 21% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg calcium citrate x 0.21 = 105 mg elemental calcium Calcium lactate: = 13% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg of calcium lactate x 0.13 = 65 mg elemental calcium Calcium gluconate: = 9% elemental calcium Example: 500 mg of calcium gluconate x 0.09 = 45 mg elemental calcium Dicalcium phosphate: = 23% elemental calcium + 19% phosphorus * Example: 500 mg of dicalcium phosphate x 0.23 = 115 mg calcium + 95 mg phosphorus * Helmut Meyer / Jürgen Zentek give different values: 21/16 Egg shells: = 36-37% elemental calcium + traces of phosphorus and trace elements Example: 500 mg of dried powdered eggshell = ca. 180 mg elemental calcium Bone meal: _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d _ = _ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ 30% elemental calcium + 17% phosphorus Example: 500 mg of bone meal x 0.30 = 150 mg elemental calcium + 85 mg phosphorus Important: Different products have different calcium / phosphorus contents! Check the label! Notes: The use of bone meal as a calcium supplement for raw meat diet may not be warranted for animals with diminished kidney function due to additional phosphorus content. Some other measures: 1 teaspoon of bone meal = 4 g 1 teaspoon of calcium lactate = 3.5 g 1 teaspoon of calcium carbonate = 2.0 g 1 teaspoon of eggshell = 5 g 1 teaspoon of Kitty Bloom Kalac M34 (38-39%) = 5g 1 teaspoon of Animal Essentials Calcium Supplemen t (34%) = 3g 100g chicken neck = approx. 800 mg calcium, 500 mg phosphorus, 100 mg sodium 100g chicken feet = approx. 2130 mg calcium, 770 mg phosphorus, 125 mg sodium 1 large eggshell = approx. 6 g = approx. 2200 mg calcium Calcium / Phosphor Calculator in english Calcium / Phosphor Calculator in deutsch Very useful tool as you can vary meat type, Ca: P ratio as well as calcium / phosphor content of supplement used.

Come calcolare la percentuale corretta di ossa polpose nella dieta barf? Una delle difficoltà maggiori che si incontrano nella formulazione di una dieta a crudo per i carnivori di casa è quella di stabilire quale sia la corretta quantità di ossa crude da utilizzare. I gattini hanno un fabbisogno di calcio e fosforo più elevato rispetto ai gatti adulti. Pertanto, i rapporti PMR dei gattini hanno una percentuale di ossa commestibili più elevata. WELCOME - Welcome Nuova pagina CATS - Cats KITTENS - Puppies SKOGKATT - Norwegian Cat HEALT - Health BARF - Natural Nutrition ALLERGY - Allergy Blog CONTACT - Contact Risultati di ricerca More How to calculate the percentage of bone in the cat's diet One of the major difficulties encountered in formulating a raw diet for home carnivores is to establish the correct amount of bones to use. Given the universally accepted scheme for the prey model diet, 80/10/10 (80% muscle, 10% bone, 10% internal organs - of which 5% liver), it is necessary to understand what it actually means. 10% of bones. It is not practical to administer a "pure" bone, unless a cut of meat is stripped to perfection and weighed the bone that we have obtained: only in this way we will be able to know the exact weight. On the other hand, it is much easier to know the average percentage of "pure" bone contained in certain cuts of meat, so that we can identify the quantity we need by doing only a few short mathematical calculations (and not an operation bordering on surgery). How many bones do cats' main sources of nutrition contain? Topo _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb589094 -5905c5c3-3194-bb3b94-136bad5ccc3 136bad5cf58d_ 4.89% * Rat _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b94-136baddcc3% Rabbit _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb58,5% * 8bad5cf *** Chicken _cc781905-5cde-3194-3194-bb589094-5c3bcc5-3194-bb589094-136bad5ccc3 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194_5cf58d_cc781905-5cde-3194_b3b_d3b_b3b-136b5c3b_b3b_b3b-136b58-3194_b3b-136b Turkey _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb589094_5cbad5-136b58d81% -136cbad5cf Quail _cc781905-5cde-3194-3194-bb589094-5bcc5-3194-bb3b94-136bad5cd 136bad5cf58d_ 10% ***** Different protein sources contain different bone content: the bone density of a prey is directly proportional to its size. The key to a balanced diet, as always, is variety. An approximate average between these types of meat (the most used in feline nutrition) provides a figure of about 13%. However, it is necessary to modulate the amount of bones present in your cat's diet based on a guideline of this type but paying particular attention to its needs and therefore observing the consistency of the feces. A too high percentage of bones can cause constipation and therefore constipation, on the contrary a too low percentage of them can lead to not very consistent stools. As a result, one cat may need an 8% dose of bone and another, for example, 10-12%. If you use a whole prey diet it is quite immediate to understand how many bones you are feeding based on the data above. If, on the other hand, one is based on a prey model or frankeprey diet, thus using not the whole prey (divided according to weight in one or more daily or weekly meals) but rather parts of different prey it becomes a bit more complicated. -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ It is therefore useful to know in this regard the percentage of bones (data obtained from the USDA National Nutrient Database ) found in the main cuts of meat (and not only in the whole prey), in order to be able to calculate the right amount to be administered: Chicken Wings _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-5894-5c5c3-3194-bb589094-136bad5ccc3 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194_bb5-bb3b-136bad3-136b58c5% Chicken thighs _cc781905-5cde-3181_ _cc781905-5cde-3181- bb3b94-136bddcc3 136bad5cf58d_ 27% Chicken Necks _cc781905-5cde-3181- bb3b94-136baddcc5-3194-bb589094-136bcc5-3194-bb589094-136bdcc3 136bad5cf58d_ 36% Chicken back 44% Turkey wings _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb589094-136bdcc3-3194-bb589094-136baddcc3 136bad5cf58d_ 33% Turkey necks 21% An adult cat weighing 5 kg, following a diet equal to 3% of its body weight, must take 150 grams of food daily, of which: 120 grams of muscle meat (80%) 15 grams of bones (10%) 7.5 grams of liver (5%) 7.5 grams of other organs (5%) If chicken wings contain about 46% of bones, it means that the cat will have to eat 32 grams daily in order to get to the 15 grams of bones needed. It is complicated to calculate the daily balance while it is much easier and more flexible to manage everything on a weekly basis. Following this reasoning, it therefore follows that a 5 kg cat must take a weekly food dose of approximately 1.050 kg of which: 840 grams of muscle meat (80%) 105 grams of bones (10%) 52.5 grams of liver (5%) 52.5 grams of other organs (5%) If we decide to provide the dose of bones using, for example, chicken wings, it will be necessary to dilute about 225 grams of chicken wings over the course of seven days. While 46% is made up of bones, 54% is made up of muscle and skin. Therefore the weekly table can probably approach a pattern of this type: 718 grams of muscle meat (we got about 122 grams of muscle from chicken wings) 225 grams of chicken wings 52.5 grams of liver 52.5 grams of other organs Based on these calculations, a weekly (or daily) table can be created using different types of meat of our choice in a simple and fairly precise way.

Dieta Barf per gatti, come iniziare, come transitare da alimenti industriali a alimentazione naturale- Passare da crocchette a carne, alimentazione per gatti TRANSIZIONE BARF DEL GATTO FEEDING BARF CAT ATTENTION: This article is not a guide to follow to the letter, take the articles as a starting point to find the best path for you and your friend. If the cat is not healthy you will have to contact a nutritionist who will formulate a diet barf suitable for your cat and its problem . 1) THE CATS AND THE BARF START THE CAT ON A DIET WITH BONES AND RAW MEAT Kittens and some adult cats instinctively recognize natural raw food the very first time it is offered to them. Unfortunately, however, most adult cats who are offered a raw meat and bone diet tend to be unenthusiastic and need some encouragement. Change can probably be a bit problematic and therefore we need to know how to move. Do you usually shake the packet of fish croquettes before pouring them into the bowl? What do you tell the cat when it comes running? Food rituals may be different, but the timing, taste, texture, sight, sound and smell all play a role. Your cat is most likely attached to these strong stimuli, and you, as the care giver, have probably gotten used to the way that works best for you. You literally fueled the addiction. Now imagine the future with your lithe feline crouching hunting chicken necks, quail and whole raw fish. If your cat is young and healthy, you can initiate the change… however, if your cat is overweight, has dental or other problems, you may want to consult your vet before starting a different diet. Preventing access to food for 12 hours is an essential first step. Instead, starting a once-a-day routine, say at 6 p.m., the biological clock will soon synchronize and its anatomy, physiology and behavior will line up, at the same time, in the kitchen. Once the new routine is established, the transition to the new food can begin. There are several “tricks” that can be useful both individually and in combination. A hungry cat will most want to sniff, lick, and eventually eat the new food, so cut back on the amount of canned or dry food. (Do not leave your cat without food for more than 20 hours). Establish only one food, such as chicken, that you want your cat to get used to. The taste and texture of raw food are two things you need to get your cat used to. (Chewing on the bones comes next). Then cut a few strips of chicken and cover them in the bowl with the food on the market. In the following days the quantity of raw meat and decrease that of the croquettes. When raw meat is fully accepted, try increasing the size of the pieces until the chicken necks and wings completely replace the chicken strips. Over the next few days, keep giving less and less commercial food, increasing the amount of raw food. Another trick is to lightly sear the meat (never the bones!) In the pan or under the grill.You can try mixing the liquid from the canned fish with the meat or sprinkle it with crumbled croquettes. You could tempt your fussy feline by making deep cuts in the skin and flesh of chicken wings and bobbins and stuffing them with canned food. You can try tying a chicken wing to a string and playing catch it. If you have multiple cats, they compete and learn from each other. Perseverance pays off, and ten days is enough time for a difficult cat to switch to the new diet. It is best to get your cat used to eating chicken before introducing quail, rabbit, fish, birds or similar food into the diet. In that case, another dose of patience and tricks may be needed… STILL PROBLEMS? Rule # 1: This is not a competition It is critically important that the transition to a new healthy diet occurs very very slowly. The cat has a unique metabolism. If you make dietary changes too quickly, there is a good chance that the cat will simply stop eating, because the new food does not meet its wishes. If you fast, you run the risk of developing a life-threatening condition called hepatic lipidosis, also known as fatty liver disease . That's why you shouldn't even consider making an instant switch from old food to a healthier one. Despite what you may believe, your cat doesn't necessarily eat when hungry. It is known that cats can also starve to refuse a certain type of food. If your cat refuses to eat and develops liver lipid, it will be very tiring to try to save it, and there is no guarantee of success. The last thing you want is a deadly sick cat, a very high vet bills, or the terrible sorrow of losing your furry cat . Please take this advice seriously. Switch very slowly to a healthier diet for your cat calmly. If your cat is a "tough guy" be prepared to spend at least six months, or even a year, switching to the raw food diet. Your consistency, determination, patience - a lot of patience - and even the tricks, one day will pay off . Rule # 2: given a choice, the cat will make the wrong one. There are lots of comments on the HealthyPets forum (which we thank!) From cat owners begging for help in getting their pets to eat better quality food. The point is that the cat is not instinctively inclined to eat healthy food, and this is even more true if it is used to fatty, resulting and poor quality foods. Faced with the choice between his usual processed, very fatty, salt-filled croquettes and a meal that is suitable for the species, alive and raw, your strayed cat will choose the first and turn up his nose at the food he has in really need it for his own good. Your feline companion is an obligate carnivore. If he lived outside alone, he would hunt and eat mice. Cats are "programmed" to eat mice because mice provide exactly the type of protein and amount of fluids felines thrive on . How many of us in the field of animal care, including the American Association of Cat Practitioners (AAFP), who encourage cat owners to switch their pets from dry to wet food, do so because wet food is more like to your cat's natural diet. This reduces biological stress, which in turn reduces the potential for disease. Many dry cat foods are inexpensive. They certainly are affordable. And they sustain life. But they are neither biologically appropriate nor appropriate for the species . Feline renal failure - an all too common, debilitating and sometimes fatal condition - is often encountered in cats that have lived in chronic dehydration for their entire lives due to a dry food diet. 2) LET'S TALK ABOUT PERCENTAGES! DAILY QUANTITY, suggested: Kittens: 80-100 gr / kg CURRENT weight / al of (divided into 3 to 4 meals per) Adult cat: 30-40 gr / kg IDEAL weight / above (divided into 2 meals per day) Pregnant / lactating cat: 60-80 gr / kg weight al di If the cat loses too much weight, it is remedied by giving more food, and / or by inserting foods with a higher fat value, if the cat gains too much weight it is remedied by giving less food. SUGGESTED POWER PERCENTAGES: 15-20% bones pulpose (OP) 15-20% heart 8-10% liver 4-6% other organs 58- 44% boneless meat (CSO) WARNING: Raw pork is ALWAYS recommended, as cats are very susceptible to Aujezsky's virus, a 100% lethal disease. The percentages indicated above are purely guidelines, they are adjusted according to the needs of each individual subject. For neo-barfists the pulpy bones (OP) can be: chicken necks, chicken wings / bats, chicken carcass, quail carcass, rabbit carcass. The thighs of the above-mentioned animals are harder / denser, and once the cat can digest the softer OPs well (observe the possible presence of ossicles in the faeces and / or vomitings in an assairicurrent way). Eventually, at the beginning, the hardest OPs can be crushed by hitting them with a heavy hammer. (Covering the OP with a rag, to avoid splattering of meat) Boneless meat (CSO) could be of any type, for example breast / rump of chicken / turkey, stew of beef, lamb, dianitra, head of beef, etc etc. The choice is wide. Organs: you can administer hearts, livers, gizzards (durelli) of chicken, turkey, rabbit, duck, guinea fowl, beef, veal, lamb etc etc… The liver consists of approx. 3-5% of the total menu, the heart approx. 8-10% of the total on the menu, the rest of the organs can be gizzards (durelli), kidney, lung etc, so on and on and on and on. Also could be included in the diet: oily fish (sardines, mackerel, salmon etc) whole eggcrude, with shell, dairy products, fish oil, some green tripe, some raw vegetables and blended or cooked and NOT blended (both not necessary, but if likes can be offered without any problem). The fish, if desired, can be given in the measure of approx. 5-10% of the total amount. Prefer blue fish, as it is rich in omega 3. (Fish maximum about 10%, of which maximum about 5% blue fish) The more the type of CSO and OP varies, the better it is for the cat's health. For example, you could have a rabbit or duck meal (OP), adding horse, lamb or beef (CSO), chicken organs, an egg and yoghurt. Again, this is just an example !!!! Nothing prevents you from diversifying and balancing instead over a week or two. Considering the fact that the cat is a predator of small prey, such as mice, birds, rabbits / hares, insects, reptiles, lizards, etc. we try to imitate this supply as much as possible. In any case, the cat can also eat beef, lamb, deer and other large animals CSO. -------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

Maestosi Gatti Norvegesi delle Foreste bianchi, ispirati alla leggenda della dea Freya, la divinità nordica dell'amore e della bellezza, il cui carro era trainato da splendidi gatti bianchi. Eleganza, mistero e natura selvaggia si fondono in questi meravigliosi felini." The White Norwegian Cats Cats can also lose their hearing due to age, like humans do. In this case it is generally a gradual process that is sometimes difficult to notice. The eardrums become less flexible and the sound is not transmitted effectively. Other cats, on the other hand, are born partially or completely deaf due to a genetic defect. In many cases this genetic defect is related to the pigment or is found much more often in totally white cats. In fact, completely white cats with blue eyes are well known to be very often affected by a congenital hereditary deafness that can involve one or both ears. Breed studies have therefore defined the relationship between deafness and white cats with blue eyes. The responsible gene is a dominant gene which is defined W (White). The first studies on this gene date back to 1930 and have been deepened in the following years. The W gene is a pigment-related gene in cats and is a dominant color gene, but it is not linked to albinism. Cats carrying this gene are not always solid white in color, but they often have colored patches on their heads which may disappear with age. In fact, we often see a young kitten with a colored speck, generally on the head, which then disappears in adulthood. The color that is hidden under the white cloak, dominated by W, is revealed by that speck! Because of this, white cats can produce non-white or two-tone kittens. This gene has complete penetration for white coats, in fact all cats that have this gene also have white coats, but it has incomplete penetration with regard to the blue color of the eyes, related to deafness, even if they are closely related. However, not all white cats are deaf and not all blue-eyed cats have a deafness defect. The penetration variable of deafness linked to the blue color of the eyes can be caused by the interaction with other genes or with environmental factors. Furthermore, if we are in the presence of deafness, this can refer to both eyes or even to only one eye, so it can be bilateral or_cc781905-5cde-3194badd_ . How do we know that the cat is deaf? These cats generally show some changes in behavior. We can notice it since, even calling them, they do not approach or do not notice when we return home. If the deaf cat lives with another cat, we will generally notice that it tends to refer to him for hearing. This means that we will often find him observing the other cat, to understand what is happening. If, on the other hand, it is a single cat in the house with the problem of deafness, it is much easier to notice this defect. The cat, for example, may sleep very soundly, may not notice when we enter the room and may not be aware of very loud noises even close to it. If there is no reaction to a very loud clap or noise, we can really suspect possible deafness. Find out how to live happily with a deaf cat White cats or albino cats? However, it must be specified that these cats are not albini. A true albino cat not only has a white coat, but also the eyes have no pigment, they appear pink. An albino cat is very sensitive to light and needs sunscreen on their ears to prevent skin cancer. However, this prevention is necessary for all white cats. White cats with blue, orange and green colored eyes are not albinos. Albinism is a very different mutation that causes color absence, not color coverage. In the presence of the W gene, white coat and blue eyes, we can have the absence of the glossy carpet (it also happens in some cats with blue eyes with diluted white coat - Siamese) or a very thin glossy carpet, which means that the visibility at night it is very small. This is one more reason not to allow the deaf white cat to go out! Some statistics Studies have shown that if: ◊ Un white cat has both blue eyes is 3-5 times more likely to develop deafness than a cat with non-blue eyes. ◊ A white cat with only one blue eye has about twice the opportunity to be deaf than a cat with both eyes of a different color. ◊ White long-haired cats are three times more likely to be bilaterally deaf. What are the problems encountered? Deaf cats emit very strong vocals just because they don't hear exactly like humans. Due to the extreme utility of hearing in predation and the ability to hunt, this can be reduced in completely deaf or partially deaf cats. Complete deafness, in any case, does not supersede success in hunting. A deaf cat responds equally to its predatory instinct. This is why vocalization in completely deaf cats is an important means of communication between cats, and deaf cats may be less good at communicating with their peers. Deaf cats can conflict with other cats much more often or fail to integrate well into a group. They may find it more difficult when they are still puppies and, moreover, they are more frequently rejected by their mother. Their reduced ability to recognize dangers is the most serious handicap especially when it comes to cats that live outside. Cars, dogs, garden machinery, are the biggest dangers.

How did I become a "Guardian" of the Natural Race Norwegian Forest Cat "? Sometimes I wonder too ... To tell the truth, I never chose it ... it has been a long journey .. made above all of love for these cats, creatures so perfect, loving, joyful, who fill your life with unconditional affection. I've always been an animal lover, since childhood, but my adventure with cats Norwegian forest starts in 2006; I saw my first Norwegian cat on the internet, maybe how is happening to you in this moment ... it was a beautiful white cat with magic eyes, a magnetic gaze, sweet but so full of pride ... This cat that remained so impressed on me his name was Noel Maelstrom. After some searching, to find a Norwegian in Italy, another photo kidnapped mine heart ..... it was him! Cagliostro Vani's Ark, what would be later became my first Norwegian Forest Cat ... What a thrill it was to go and get it !! I remember like it was yesterday, the walk in the center of Arezzo, with my beloved treasure in the carrier ... and the return trip with Cagliostro who was all composed and sat on the back seat with his paws crossed .... he was a real Lord! and he would have kept this beautiful pride of his forever ... until his last moments of life, where with that paw of his, slightly protruding his nails ... he squeezed my hand for the last time ... Day after day my passion has grown and the desire for knowledge has pushed me to deepen their history ... and so without realizing it and driven by the passion towards their history and their so proud character, _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ I was already in Milan to pick up Genny ... the future bride of Cagliostro .... I had become a "Norwegian Guardian" without realizing it ".... and so over time new friends arrived, such as Vamyr, Crystal, Maya, Isak, Brisingamen, Coral, Castella, Riddick, Brilliant, Agra, Catelyn, Marvel, Kamiko, Erza ..... some of them lived only part of the their life with me .... others are gone ... Genny is 15 years old and lives with me while his children Willy and Charlie _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ have recently left me ... It is not easy to explain for me who am not a writer, what a wonderful experience it is to be able to live with the Norwegian Cats ... treat them, see them born, grow .... but also being there in the moment of illness and death. .. all this becomes inevitably un personal growth path and despite the suffering to which it exposes me to raise, I am really grateful to these special beings, for everything they teach me every day , where their proximity, so clear and clean, is capable of healing your heart .. even from the most deep wounds. THE NAME "DISIR NORNIR" I have always been fascinated by mythology, since I was a child, but only thanks to the Norwegian cats, that I got to know Norse mythology. The Disir are a large group of female spirits who preside over Asgard, they determine the fate of all humans and gods. The three most important disir are the Nornir Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld, whose names translate to "What is success "," What is happening "and" What will come " These three Nornir are hidden under Yddrasil, the World Tree, which has its roots in the water of the well of Urd and to prevent its roots from rotting the disir nornir scatter sand all around. As they sit under the world tree, Urðr, Verðandi, and Skuld weave the threads of man's destiny. Alongside these three Nornir there are many other Disir that come when a person is born in order to determine his fate, they are both benevolent and malevolent. Recent research has discussed the relationship between the Norns and the Valkyries, women who visited infants in pre-Christian Norse societies. The Disir Nornir remind me that the only constant in the universe is "Change" and with that in mind ... I imagine a large loom, the warp threads on the loom as our biological, spiritual, cultural heritage .... I imagine Urðr , Verðandi, and Skuld who weave the weft with the threads of our choices, which we have given them, the conscious and unconscious choices of all beings become the weft threads which are then woven together with the thread of inheritance and joining forming the magically mysterious fabric of the Multiverse. http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverso
