The problem with homemade diets is that the vitamin/mineral/essential protein balance is hard to get just right; and raw diets sometimes have salmonella and ecoli issues that aren’t fun to deal with, especially in an already sick cat.

Well, if I'm not too stupid to feed myself, I don't suppose it could be too hard to figure out what a cat is supposed to eat (obligate carnivore). I could always research it via either the internet or books (lots out there). Sheesh.

There are still unknowns. Cats were assumed to be much like dogs in their nutritional needs, which turned out to be a bad assumption.
