🚨 Cat Owners Alert: Raw Cat Food & Bird Flu 🚨

The FDA has confirmed that certain lots of RAWR Raw Cat Food Chicken Eats tested positive for H5N1 (bird flu) and were linked to a cat’s illness in San Francisco.

👉 Affected lots: CCS 25 077 (Sell By: Sept 18, 2026) and CCS 25 093 (Sell By: Oct 3, 2026). If you have these, do not feed them—dispose of immediately.

While risk to humans is low, cats can get very sick. Watch for symptoms like fever, loss of appetite, eye/nasal discharge, or trouble breathing, and contact your vet right away if concerned.

This is another reminder that raw diets can carry serious risks. Stay safe and keep your kitties healthy! 🐾

The food was tested prior to a cat testing positive for H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza prior to ingesting one of the infected lot numbers.

🐾😺 Is Your Cat Right-Pawed or Left-Pawed?

Just like humans are right- or left-handed, cats can also show a paw preference! Here are a few easy ways to tell which side your feline friend favors:

👉 Place a toy or treat just out of reach — which paw do they use first?
👉 Watch how they step into their litter box — which paw goes in first?
👉 Notice how they bat at toys, scratch, or reach for objects — is it usually the right or the left?

Most cats actually do have a dominant paw, but it can vary. Studies suggest that males are often left-pawed, while females lean toward the right. 🐱💡

✨ Try these little experiments at home and let us know: Is your cat a righty or a lefty?

🐱 Is Your Cat Carrying a Little Too Much—or Too Little? Learn How to Tell with the BCS!

Understanding your cat's Body Condition Score (BCS) can be a game changer for its long-term health. Royal Canin breaks it down simply: BCS is a 9-point scale, where a score of 1 is severely underweight, 9 is severely obese, and 4–5 is ideal. That means your furry friend should have ribs that can be felt (but not seen), a visible waist from above, and a slight tummy tuck from the side.

Here’s how to check at home:

Look from above – Can you see a defined waist behind your cat’s ribs?

Look from the side – Is there a subtle tuck in their abdomen?

Feel their ribs – With gentle pressure, you should be able to feel them (not buried under fat, but not obvious either).

Weigh them, too – Combining BCS with actual weight gives a complete picture.

Why it matters:

Regularly checking BCS can catch weight issues early and help keep your cat healthy and active.

Maintaining a 4–5 BCS helps prevent weight-related diseases and supports a longer, happier life.
