You are absolutely right. Cats need raw meat in their diet. My two Burmese wouldn't touch raw hamburger or raw liver or even a piece of steak, but they would eat caned tuna or some cooked fish. They both lived to 17 years passing just recently. The picture I posted of the blue cat face was one of them. The next kittens I get will be getting the raw meat they need.
Unfortunately, the Burmese breed here in the US has almost been destroyed with the breeders inbreeding the cats just so they could win a ribbon at the cat shows. So I am looking into importing a couple cats from Thailand where the breed originated and maybe even breed them to revitalize the Burmese breed.
