Re: resources for raw food diet for cats?
I'm so glad you're asking this! I've decided to try raw with our cats, and would love some more resources. Right now I'm working on getting them on a feeding schedule again (we lapsed back into free feeding, and it isn't good on our fat cat's waistline), and then we're going to go with a pre-mixed raw and see how that works out. Phase 3 will be a DIY raw which, surprising, DH is totally game for!
When I was looking for info the other night, I found this post with lots of links: http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/25623715.aspx.
I'd really love to find a book about it, though...I need to spend some time searching Amazon later.

Here is some info from the Pets Board FAQ (I'm not sure how much of it is about cats though)

There are several girls on the Pets board that feed raw to cats, they would probably have a lot of information to share.
A Spring Day on the Katy Trail
I failed at switching a few times, so the last time (success!) I went pretty hard core. First I switched my cats off wet food (their fave) for about 8 months, and went to timed feedings. I also switched to a rabbit-based kibble, which I was told is the most appealing meat to cats. Then I switched to no kibble, just canned rabbit cat food and frozen rabbit raw cat food, mixed.
I make my own now using ground turkey necks, to which I add organs, muscle meat, fats, raw egg and various other goodies.
Ideally I'd like them to eat whole pieces, but we'll see. For now, I'm happy they are eating this! They love their food, the litter box has gotten much less stinky and they look great.
my cat is on a raw diet. i use primal since it's in cubes and you just thaw them out as you go. i'm too lazy to make my own. http://www.primalpetfoods.com/
my cat had horrible ibs and has not had an episode in over year now. his coat is beautiful and he's so healthy looking.
