      How to feed a cat

      TO COOK OR NOT TO COOK

      Did you ever see a cat fry a mouse? Then why should you cook for a cat? Cooking, even for the likes of you and me, is a comparatively recent invention. Millions of people living in the world to-day never saw a stove; a sizable percentage of them never even saw a fireplace with a chimney. They cut their meat in chunks, impale the chunks on sticks which they hold over a fire until the meat begins to scorch; then they eat it, burnt on the outside, raw inside.

      People cook meat because (a) it keeps longer, and (b) it tastes better. In these days of sanitation, refrigeration, and a butcher shop around the corner, preservation isn’t much of a consideration, so most people cook meat to improve the taste. Where other methods improve the taste we still eat our meat raw.

      Cat’s don’t think cooked meat tastes better, and they’d rather preserve it inside them.

Cats get various kinds of worms from rats, mice, fleas, lice, the grass blades they nibble in the back yard if worm larvæ happen to be roosting on them, and even from their mammas, if mamma has worms. They can get trichinosis from raw pork and a certain sort of tapeworm from raw fish. They cannot get any kind of worms from government inspected beef, lamb, mutton, or veal fit for human consumption, whether it is done or raw.

      A lot of people argue that feeding an animal raw meat will "make
