Feeding fish to cats

[Louise07]

I was given some frozen fish by our local chip shop which they say is for cats (they actually sell fish for cats), Do I just defrost it and let our cat eat it raw, or does it need to be cooked first? Thanks in advance.

i've never given my cats raw fish, i bake or poach it first (in a little milk & water),

You can feed them the fish raw, so long as it has been frozen first to kill off the worms then it should be fine

The cats never seem to mind as they head off over the fence with one of my prize koi carp in their mouths for a very expensive banquet !!!!!!

Well my kittens just got back from the vets [this was last night] after being spayed and definateley preferred her cod steak lightly poached in semi-skimmed milk and hand fed to her! Bless her....she has spent the whole evening on her back on her bean bag being pampered....I think she deserved it!!!!
