Title: Chicken wings
Post by: catwomyn on November 27, 2009, 16:36:06 PM
Hi, I've read a lot on here about chicken wings being good to feed cats. I feel a bit daft asking this but where do you buy them from? (I'm veggie so don't have a clue!!!) :-[

I don't even know if people eat chicken wings...
thanks

They sell them in all supermarkets, just in the normal chicken section.  The ones I bought came in a massive portion so if you only want a couple to try then you'd pobably be better off asking in a butchers, although I appreciate that may be a step too far for a veggie  :shy:

brilliant, thanks. do I feed them raw? My cats aren't too keen on raw meat. I tried them with that frozen chicken mince when they had the runs, and they turned their noses up.

They also turned their noses up when I offered them pig hearts - both raw and cooked - I used to work in a college which had a butcher on site, and got the hearts for free!

I'm not squeamish about meat, I will cook meat for people but am a blit clueless with it really.

thanks again

Definitely raw, cooked bones are dangerous as they splinter easily.  My cats weren't interested in raw wings and looked at me like I was crazy , I think there's quite a few on here that regularly feed raw wings with great success though.

Someone on another Pets board used to tie string to the chicken wing and make catching it a game; eventually their cats realised it was good to eat. Bit messy tho!!  :shify:

my two kittens love chicken wings. Only experimented with chicken wings about 3 wks ago and never looked back. I get mine from Tesco's a big packet costs less than £2 and lasts 2 wks. I give half a chicken wing to each per day (chop each wing into 6 smaller portions to make it easier for them eat). I then freeze the remainder each wing wrapped up in a bit of baking sheet so that they are easy to separate when taken out of the freezer. Gandalf actually growls at Mishka if she is anywhere near him when he eats his portion. He is sooo greedy.  :naughty:
