I buy family packs of burgers/steaks/chops specifically to allow sharing some of our dinner with our dogs. So, yeah, why not?

What is in the box? A pregnant rat and 6 quail eggs? My cats had to wait until the farmer plowed the field to get good mice.  
I did buy beef liver and kept it around for the cat. He liked raw frozen slices-liversicles-but I had to wave them around to get his interest when he got older.

If this had been around back when I had my little girl kitty, who was on medication most of her life and usually underweight, hell yes I’d have used it. As it was I did a lot of home cooking and bought every imaginable type of cat food/baby food trying to get her to eat.

It’s short for ectoplasm, ectoderm, ectomorph, _et cetera_. Duh.
