What does the ash stick do?
I add desiccated testicles and bovine blood to my cats meals. nostr:npub14am887cf6kvwkce89nt7dsw3v9qrrn0uppxyvr6a2jd7xdwuwccqwnudp2's co Heart & Soil makes a stack called Whole Package, which is perfect.
They've only ever eaten raw, lean ruminant meats and organs since kittens. Egg shell powder. Sardines. An egg yolk here and there. Raw milk on occassion. Cat grass and ash stick after meals.
Family says they look ferrel. They're constantly wrestling and chasing eachother. Panting, even. Their coats are wirey and stand up on end; never had a single knot. Teeth are bright white. Eyes glassy. No shots. We deworm with fenben every 2 years, is all.
They don't let strangers touch them. Folks comment that their aura is different than typical house cats. Muscular and intense. They are proud with strangers, but gentle as baby bears with us. We give them alot of respect, never violating their autonomy.
This is the way.

The grass+ash plays the role of roughage, which wild cats consume to maintain their GI tracts and support motility.
Each cat gets about a 1inch long stick of grass+ash after their massive carnivore OMAD.
Forgot to say: it also keeps their mouth and teeth clean. Keeps upper intestine free of overgrowth. Pretty important.
