Probably not a good idea.  But ask your vet.

Hamburger can be dirty meat, meaning it goes through a grinder of some
sort 
.. . . and maybe ****k or some other meat went through ahead of it.  But 
grinders (or whatever they are called) should be clean.  But notice the 
sides to hamburger are in the hundreds .. . . . little strips of meat . .
. 
and that means lots of meat surface.  A hunk or steak or a breast for 
children only had sides on the outside.  Well, you get the idea.

The last time around with our cats and pills, the vet gave us a supply of 
cat treats that had been hollowed out.  You slipped the pill inside and
the 
cat never noticed it.  The other medicine our cats takes for arthritis is
a 
capsule.  We pulls the capsule aside and dump the powder in soft cat food 
and stir it in.  Works fine.

Cats in the wild do eat raw food.  But they don't live as long as our 
pampered house cats.
