Maybe they'd prefurrrrr (heh) them slightly cooked :) Even my dog didn't
want raw chicken. And I wouldn't give them chicken with bones that break so
easily. I'd take the (cooked) meat off the bone. Even domestic cats have
pretty powerful jaws. Chicken bones aren't good; they splinter easily.
Just my 2 cents.
However, the rest of the 4 lbs. can be used to make hot wings for you to
snack on. Or a pretty decent chicken stock for soup :) Throw in some
veggies - carrots, celery (no onion or garlic if you plan to use it to
supplement your cats' food rather than use it yourself).

the whole point of totally raw is that they don't splinter when totally raw,
if cooked at all they aren't acceptable for the cats... They will be
stock/for DH as I do weight watchers and the points on a chicken wing is
about the same as a thigh, but am thinking chicken rice soup might be good,

Says who? I wouldn't feed them chicken with the bones (cooked or raw).
That's just me, of course. But they didn't show interest in them so it's
neither here nor there.

Stock used to make soup is a good use for wings :)

if you read the veterinary sites and you have a vet that is a cat
specialist, that is where I got my information, Lee

Like I posted, the night I gave the three cats and scooter dog a chicken
wing each, the sound made me want to sleep with combat boots on!! O.T. is
my lover boy but his breath could bsck off any terriorist from the middle
east! After eating the raw chicken, I could actually stand for him to be in
my face, it cleaned his teeth and breath.

When I've given the cats chicken wings, I've cut them in three (at the
joints). I don't give them chicken wings very often, because this is the
only food (besides Baltic herring) that Caliban doesn't wolf down in two
gulps. Instead, he throws it around and plays with it before eating a
little bit, then he leaves a half-eaten bit of chicken wing in some
strategic place where I will step on it.

That's what stops me from giving ours chicken wings. The part between when
I give it to them and when all the mess is cleaned up. If raw chicken gets
on anything, I want to be able to clean it up thoroughly.
Raw caught birds for some reason don't bother be as much. Maybe because a
few wing feathers are all I see of them.

Wild birds probably don't have salmonella all over them. Commercial
raw chicken is a health hazard! (I'm a bit of a nutcase about handling
it very carefully, washing afterward, not letting it get on anything,
etc. I had salmonella poisoning once about 25 years ago and I never
want to repeat it!)

Caliban doesn't like herring? Or is Baltic herring marinated in a
sauce he doesn't like?

Oh, he likes it (it's not marinated - I give it to them raw), but for
some reason he has to play with it first. I suspect he is chanelling
Nikki, who used to put her herrings in the water dish (fish are supposed
to swim, you know), then fish them out and drag them to the living room,
where she would eat half and leave the rest on the rug.
