I wonder if the “forest” he’s pictured in is Rip Van Winkle Open Space?

Being a mouse butche and having to use all those tiny filet and boning knives would really suck.

First mice, then rats. Soon cat food might provide a solution to dealing with Demonicrat politicians.

My wife purchases bags of frozen "pinkies" for her small snakes (garter/boa). When they get larger, she purchases live pinkies at the pet shop. Some of the garters are nearly ready for "fuzzies". The ball python and corn snake can handle live adult mice.

We can probably raise our own mice for the small number of snakes. The two cats and 7 dogs eat significantly more, so we've been buying ahead in anticipation of supply problems. We had been able to buy 3 x 40 lb bags of dog food from Costco until 2 weeks ago. Costco has a 1 bag limit now.

Yes, but is it made from all white meat from free range organic mice?

Yes, but is it made from all white meat from free range, vegetable fed, organic mice?

Cats were domesticated by humans to kill mice and rats in our grain stores and primitive barns thousands of years ago. Cats by their very existence should be eating mice and rats. They like all other felines are obligate carnivores they not only have no need for vegetable matter it is harmful to their digestive health. We had barn cats growing up they never once got feed by us the lived exclusively by hunting in the barn and afield. If too many were a round we would set out traps and catch them with raw meat as the bait.

Bad idea! Rodents are loaded with every known pharmaceutical known to man from all those drug trials. Lol

Seems like an expensive cat food to produce. I imagine it will remain a ‘novelty’.

I read years ago that mouse is actually the perfect cat food but that it should be cooked to prevent the cat from picking up parasites.

I draw the line at cooking mice.

Rodents are raised in a large scale in feed lots just like chickens for the pet industry and for pet food for snakes and other reptiles. They are grain feed just like you would a chicken or any other monogastric animal. 1/3 protein 1/3 carbs 1/3 polylipids. You can buy live mice or rats at petco for your Python to eat. Or keep one as a pet, mice tend to be very friendly once accustomed to their owner.

A friend who knows more about cats than I do said only 25% of cats will go after rats. I guess the rest are scared.

Whole mice are what cats were breed and evolved to eat. They are the best food for a feline. This canned food is ground up whole mice fur and all bank on it. Pressure cook mice, put the product in a grinder and evaporate off some of the liquid to make a slurry then can that slurry cats will go nuts for it they have the instinct to know that’s exactly what they should be eating. This guy should make a fortune doing what cats do naturally. I have a couple of cats feral on my land they leave carcass on the deck as gifts in exchange for the water bowls I leave out for them. That keep the rats and mice out of my steel buildings and garage where there blankets and heat lamps are at. It’s a fair trade they get inside digs and I get pest control it’s why humans made them in the first place. Domesticated cats are a human invention we literally made them from wild stock.
