Jasper's favourite meat is pork and I include it in all their raw. I am not sure about the bones, though, I grind all my raw. I do cut off the fat too.

I would feel the bones are too heavy. I rarely even give my largeish dogs spare ribs, as one is known to crack teeth on bones heavier than poultry. The meat, though, go for it!!

I've fed my cats pork ribs before. I thought for sure they would just get the meat off and leave the bone...but they easily powered through them. Even my small female who doesn't like to tackle complicated or too hard bones. So I'd say go for it.
My guys also love lamb ribs too. |

Somebody else, whose cats are on a raw diet feed them pork.
I think my cats like pork better than chicken. Beef is their least favourite.

Pork meat is fine, but I agree with Bendyfoot that the bones are too big. Just because a cat can eat pork ribs, doesn't mean they should. Feline teeth are designed to chew through much smaller bird and rodent bones - it's just not worth the risk of cracking a tooth on a pork bone.

I give them to my cats quite a bit, i just watch them close with it. That only works if you dont have a cat like princess that takes her chunk and runs, lol.
