Bengal Products
We get people asking for our recommendations on products for kittens, so we have gathered those
recommendations on this page. We use most of these products in our home with our Bengals.
Sometimes we include products that are on our wish list, but not quite in our budget just yet.
If you are visiting our site from a Mobile device you may have a better experience visiting our
other Page Bengaltimecattery.com. The content is exactly the same but the pages will display
in "Desktop mode" which should make for a better browsing experience.

Bengals are obligate carnivores, meaning they have nutritional requirements
that can only be met with a diet based primarily on animal tissue.
Bengals Love Raw food, and what could be more natural.

Why Your Cat Needs Raw Food
It’s no secret that cats are natural predators. Watch any field cat and you can see their natural instincts come alive when they encounter prey: back flattened, tail flicking, followed by the dramatic pounce. And if you’ve ever had a mouse problem, you know firsthand that domesticated house cats have the same instincts. A couch potato cat turns into a fierce warrior when they see a live mouse (well, most of them, anyway!)
Turns out, this natural hunting instinct exists for a reason (besides the thrill of the chase) —cats are simply natural-born meat-eaters, and are just doing what they have done since the beginning of their days, selecting foods that are best for them: raw meat.
Here’s a look at what a raw-food diet entails and benefits of feeding your cat a raw-food meal.
What Does a Raw Cat Food Diet Involve?
Species Appropriate
Did you know that cats are obligate carnivores? Meaning – they must eat the tissue of other animals to thrive. That’s because their bodies aren’t able to produce the enzymes that are required to digest carbohydrates—since they evolved eating almost no carbs, they have only one enzyme system that can handle it, as opposed to humans and dogs. With an unusually short digestive tract compared to body size, cats can more easily digest raw food or species appropriate diets. They are custom-built, in other words, for a species-specific raw diet made almost entirely of meat, and very little or no carbohydrates. So no, your cat isn’t being a diva: She/he is just choosing foods that their little bodies are naturally equipped to handle.

Say Hello to Raw Vibes!

Raw Vibes come from the idea that raw feeding is a carnivore way of life. It is engrained in our carnivore companions to eat,
process and utilize raw meat, organs and bone to live a long, happy, heathy and thriving life.
Raw Vibes provides freeze dried raw meat, organs and bone treats, foods, variety boxes and other goodies for carnivore companions including cats, dogs and exotics such as ferret and reptiles. Our products lasts for decades and is not only easy to feed but simple to store. You'll be vibing with us too, once you see how awesome and unique our products are!
Since 2010 I have loved designing, preparing and educating other animal lovers about raw feeding but I realized not everyones loves doing what I do. Hard working families sometimes just don't have the time, space, confidence or simply don't have the desire to do all the math, find ingredient sources, plan the variety and rotation, or deal with the clean up involved in preparing your own raw food. That all doesn't mean they don't want to provide the best for their cat, dog or ferret. This is when I said "there has to be a better way."
Raw Vibes was born to provide an easy way to feed a species appropriate raw without all the hassle in feeding traditional fresh raw diets. We are unique in that we are the only company founded and owned by a carnivore nutritionist with information backed by scientific studies and over a decade of hands on experience in the field.
All of our ingredients are sourced, prepared and packaged in America.
We never use 3D/4D meats and try to support as many small farms and homesteaders as we can!

Feline Nutrition RAW Cat food Recipe
|
Making homemade cat food isn't hard to do at all, anyone can! Once you make your own, you'll realize that raw food for cats isn't complicated. It helps to know how ground raw meals are made, because commercially-made frozen foods are created in much the same way, just on a larger scale. Taking the mystery out of what you feed your cats is important. While they benefit from the nutritionally better food, the benefit to you in terms of peace of mind shouldn't be overlooked.
What does homemade raw cat food consist of? Most importantly, it is more than just meat. It's made up of meat, organs, bone, fat, egg yolks, water and supplements. All of these ingredients are necessary to make a balanced diet for complete cat nutrition. The goal is to mimic the natural prey-based diet of cats. Notice the lack of any carbohydrate-based ingredients. These are not needed in the diet of an obligate carnivore. There are no vegan cats. Making your own raw cat food gives you the most control over what goes into your cat's food, allowing you to select the meats and supplements you use. Contrary to what many people think, homemade raw cat food meals are usually less expensive than canned diets. The supplemented, ground food can be a foundation of cat nutrition. To round it out, we recommend varying the meats you feed and adding in whole meats, with and without bones, to provide dental benefits and psychological stimulation.
