POTTENGER'S CATS
A diet of mostly raw animal foods for cats was examined back in the
1930s by Francis Pottenger, MD. He conducted a ten-year-long study
in which nearly a thousand cats were fed the same basic diet of
milk, meat and a small dose of cod liver oil.2
The healthiest cats were the ones who received raw meat and raw
milk. This was the only group to produce generation after
generation of healthy kittens with broad faces, adequate nasal
cavities, broad dental arches, strong and correctly shaped teeth
and bones, excellent tissue tone, good-quality fur with a minimum
of shedding and an absence of gum disease. These cats were
resistant to infections, fleas and internal parasites. They showed
no sign of allergies and were gregarious, friendly and predictable
in their behavior patterns. Miscarriages were rare and litters
averaged five kittens, which the mothers nursed without
difficulty.
Another group received raw milk and cooked meat. The cats in this
group developed skeletal and dental deformities, heart problems,
vision problems, thyroid imbalances, infections of the kidney,
liver, testes, ovaries and bladder, arthritis and inflammation of
the joints, and inflammation of the nervous system with paralysis
and meningitis. Their second and third generations had abnormal
respiratory tissues. Cooked-meat cats were so irritable that some
of the females were named Tiger, Cobra and Rattlesnake, while the
males were docile and passive, a sexual role reversal not seen in
the raw-food cats. Vermin and intestinal parasites abounded and
skin lesions and allergies appeared frequently. Adult cats died of
pneumonia or infections of the bone while kittens died of pneumonia
and diarrhea. The cooked-meat cats had serious reproductive
problems including sterility, miscarriage, a lack of maternal
instinct and difficult labors with high infant mortality rates.
Many females died in labor.
The cats fed raw meat with pasteurized milk showed similar changes,
and those fed evaporated milk showed even more damage, [b]while the
most marked deficiencies occurred among those fed sweetened
condensed milk.
Because the health of each new generation was adversely affected by
its parents' inferior diet, the cooked-food kittens had even more
problems, and there were no fourth generation kittens in any of the
cooked-food groups because the third generation always died before
reproducing. Had antibiotic drugs been available, these kittens
might not have died of pneumonia and other infectious diseases, in
which case the experiment could have continued through longer
chains of deformed offspring.
One of Dr. Pottenger's most exciting discoveries was that the
health deterioration caused by cooked foods can be reversed,
although it took four generations to completely restore perfect
health to cats whose ancestors ate cooked meat or pasteurized
milk.
