I just found out that raw foods are healthy for a cats diet. If so, can anybody tell me what kind of raw foods, I mean do I grab a piece of raw steak from the fridge and feed it to my cats? I don't really get it. I'm trying to be a better mommy for them. Thanks.|||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
Here's some links that I have found helpful

Many of them use rabbit meat. Rabbit meat is an all white meat and is similar to chicken.High in protein and very low in fat. Rabbit meat is good for people too.
I raise rabbits and we sell our "culls" to a processor who makes and sells raw pet food.
The name of her business is- "Hare Today"
You can look it up on the net to get more info.|||My cat's favourite is raw mince. It is the easiest for them to eat. I try and leave it out of the fridge for about 15 minutes first so it is not so cold for her. There are pre-packet minces for cats but do not buy those are there is a link to cats eating those and kidney failure. It must be the preservatives they add to be able to keep the meat for that long. The easiest way to give your cat raw foods is to get a little extra when buying for your dinner. The mince I give my cat is the same as the one I will cook for me. I also give her chicken and fish sometimes but I usually cook it forr her first. She likes boiled chicken and grilled fish.|||Plain red meat from the store won't have all the nutrients and minerals the cat needs, because it's just muscle meat.
I give some raw to ours, but it's only 10% of their diet. There are raw meat sites online that have recipies for cats (don't use the dog recipies, dogs need more of certain vitamins and less of others).

Very interesting discussion. As a former diverticulitis sufferer, I know how frustrating it can be to find answers. Just wanted to share a link that helped me out a lot when I was struggling to get better:
