Yeah, raw meats but not just chicken. This morning my cats got pork brains and chicken gizzards. Dinner will be turkey neck chunks.
Something like this:

Actually, their poops are small and hard on a raw diet...they don't smell AT ALL. The litterbox no longer smells and they don't poop as often so less cleaning! That was my main motivation since I knew it would happen due to my dog having been on a raw diet for a long time

.
The idea is to emulate what they would eat in the wild...so you make sure to feed meat, bones, and organs from various species. It's super easy once they're switched over, just hand them the meat

. My roommate's cat was really fat and lethargic, he also threw up CONSTANTLY. I switched him to raw and he's lean, active, and no longer pukes...at all

. It's great!
