Why Our Cats Eat Raw Cat Food
At Blue Eyed British, nutrition is at the heart of everything we do. We want our British Shorthair cats to be healthy, vibrant, and full of life—from the time they’re kittens through their senior years. After exploring many options, we chose Viva Raw because it consistently delivers the quality and nutrition we believe every cat deserves.
Viva Raw
Viva Raw cat food is a complete and balanced raw diet made with responsibly sourced, human-grade ingredients. Their recipes contain 97–98% meat, organs, and bone, with the rest made up of natural supplements like fish oil, organic egg yolk, and green-lipped mussels. The meals are prepared in USDA-inspected kitchens and flash-frozen to maintain freshness and safety.
We love that Viva keeps things simple and transparent—no grains, fillers, or preservatives. Just real food designed to support a cat’s natural dietary needs.
Why Raw Feeding Works So Well for British Shorthairs
British Shorthairs are a sturdy, low-maintenance breed, but they do benefit from a nutrient-rich, high-protein diet. Since switching to Viva Raw, we’ve noticed several positive changes in our cats:
Their coats are thicker, softer, and shinier
Digestion has improved, with more regular and smaller stools
Our cats have steady energy without being overly hyper
Picky eaters have become much more interested in mealtime
We also appreciate that Viva offers single-protein options, which can be helpful for cats with food sensitivities or allergies. The variety of proteins (rabbit, duck, turkey, beef, etc.) makes it easy to rotate for nutritional balance.
How We Use Viva Raw in Our Cattery
All of our adult cats and kittens are fed a rotation of Viva Raw recipes. For young kittens, we start with the "Pure" blends, which are finely ground and easy to digest. As they grow, we slowly introduce the complete blends to ensure they’re getting everything they need during key development stages.
Viva Raw arrives frozen and is easy to store and portion. We thaw only what we need in the fridge, which makes feeding raw much more convenient than people expect.
Thinking About Switching?
If you’re considering a fresh, natural diet for your cat, we highly recommend Viva Raw. We’ve seen the benefits firsthand in our British Shorthairs, and we believe it can make a difference for your cat, too.
