Please help my research for cat food. Before lots of people started
feeding their cat commercial cat food, (crunchy type or canned food)
what were they feeding their cat?
Is there such a thing like a traditional "home made" cat food? If you
were living with cat/cats back in those days, what did you usually end
up feeding them?

Thank you very much for your help!

We fed them raw liver, nickel sardines, raw heart and kidney table
scraps. They would also eat corn on the cob and some vegetables. They
usually had diarrhea., They also caught mice, birds and insects.
They were indoor/outdoor cats and did not live as long as cats do
today. MLB

My mother made the mistake of feeding my cat cooked haddock.
After that, he would never eat anything else.
She fed him that twice a day for as long as he lived.
This was 35 years ago.
He died from eating a bunch of string from a string ball behind the couch we
didn't know about.
Got tangled in his intestines.
Never leave string laying around.
