Ok, sorry I should have reminded you to research this yourself.

30 mins, maybe 1 hour of researching just these links I found will be very helpful.

Raw meat diets for cats is not new or revolutionary……just outside of the mainstream. (although my Mum feeds her dogs raw meat and she is a Muggle, so maybe its getting out in the open now?)

The connection between cat allergies and humans that I found out about ……now that is new and unconfirmed and unreported. I have not found any research on that. (note: I haven’t looked that hard!)

This post took 10 mins to look up. Google and find thousands of articles about raw cat diets.

Is Raw Meat Safe?
Cats' digestive systems are finely tuned to handle things humans can't. Their stomachs have a highly acidic environment, which is an excellent deterrent to ingested bacteria. In the wild, cats sometimes eat some pretty putrid stuff with no ill effects. Wild cats die more often from infection due to injuries than from food poisoning. However, there are steps you can take if you have concerns about salmonella, e coli, or other bacteria.
• Avoid packaged supermarket ground beef
• Buy "free-range" meat and poultry from a trusted butcher
• Add priobiotics (which help maintain intestinal health) to your raw food mix
• Always use safe handling procedures, and take up and dispose of uneaten food within 30 minutes

WHAT ABOUT SALMONELLA AND E-COLI?
These are more worrisome to humans. Cats are much better able to resist these organisms. They eat their prey raw. Their digestive systems are designed to handle raw food. Their stomach environment is highly acidic, helping to break down and digest meat. Also, their digestive tracts are shorter than ours, and food spends a lot less time being broken down, digested and absorbed or eliminated.
