Choosing the right diet is one of the most important decisions you can make for your cat’s health. Many owners are now turning to Naked Cat raw food as a natural alternative to highly processed pet food, providing a diet that better reflects what cats are biologically designed to eat.
Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their bodies are biologically designed to thrive on a diet rich in animal protein and they don’t produce the enzymes to breakdown starch. In the wild, cats consume prey consisting of meat, organs, bone, and moisture — a nutritional profile that raw feeding aims to replicate as closely as possible.
Naked Cat produces complete and balanced raw meals made with high-quality ingredients, helping cat owners provide species-appropriate nutrition in a convenient format. But what makes raw feeding beneficial, and why are more people choosing Naked Cat raw food for their pets?
In this guide, we explore the benefits of raw feeding and take a closer look at the four recipes available from Naked Cat.
Key Benefits of Feeding Naked Cat Raw Food
1. Species-Appropriate Nutrition
Cats evolved as hunters, thriving on diets rich in animal protein and moisture. Naked Cat raw food recipes are all 94% meat, bone, and offal – with 5% bone broth and gelatine, and 1% salmon oil.
Cats don’t naturally produce amino-acid taurine and so our recipes are packed with heart meat to provide an essential taurine boost.
Providing a diet aligned with a cat’s evolutionary requirements can help support long-term health and vitality.
2. Natural Moisture Content for Hydration
Many cats do not drink enough water independently, which can impact kidney and urinary health. Naked Cat raw food contains natural moisture from meat ingredients, helping support hydration levels.
Adequate hydration contributes to healthy urinary function and overall wellbeing.
3. Highly Digestible Ingredients
Highly processed foods often contain fillers or carbohydrates that are not biologically necessary for cats. Naked Cat recipes prioritise digestible animal ingredients, which may help support nutrient absorption and digestive health.
Many raw feeders report smaller stools and less litter tray odour due to efficient digestion.
4. Mixed Protein Recipes for High Palatability
Cats are ‘super-sensors’ which means they can often be described as fussy. All of our Naked Cat recipes are mixed protein with added broth and gelatine – which makes them very palatable. The range includes: Chicken & Salmon, Duck & Lamb, Rabbit & Turkey, and Turkey & Chicken.

Transitioning Your Cat to Naked Cat Raw Food
When introducing Naked Cat raw food, it is recommended to transition gradually over several days. Slowly mixing raw food with your cat’s existing diet can help support digestive adjustment.
Don’t worry if your cat looks unsure to begin with – it is natural for animals to be tentative around new food flavours and textures; this instinct helps them avoid poisonous food. However, once they try it…they will keep coming back for more! Many cats quickly adapt to raw feeding due to the palatability of natural meat ingredients.
