13. That might be worth a try.
It seems logical that a diet closer to what they would be eating in the wild would be healthier for them.

I wonder if my cats would eat it, though. My mom has given them raw meat scraps before and they both turned their noses up at it, though the kitty in question will eat cooked meat. (The other one is weird and won't touch anything but cat food and canned tuna, but she's healthy, so I guess it works for her.) I think they're just so used to prepared cat food that they don't know real meat when they see it. (I'm vegetarian, so meat scraps aren't something they see very often.) But maybe they'd get used to it if I started mixing it into their regular food.

I admit, I'd have to get past my squeamishness about the raw meat, too. The photos on the hare-today website kinda grossed me out. But cats are obligate carnivores, so I don't think it's fair for me to deprive them of a diet that could improve their health because of my preference to avoid meat.
