Just to clear up a few things....COOKED chicken bones splinter, not raw.
Raw bones are completely paleo (or species-appropriate) for dogs and
cats....expecially poultry ones.  they DO eat them in the wild.

Fish, however, isn't paleo for cats.  Cats evolved in the desert, which is
low on fish.

Fish, because of it's great properties (namely the EFA's), can be included
in a raw diet for dogs and cats, as long as it is RAW (except for pacific
salmon) and part of a variety.
