Check your kitty food. ASAP.

Check your kitty food.

Monte's been turning his nose up at his favorite catfood, Nutro. I thought maybe it had gone bad, so I threw out the packet. Another packet he refused. I noticed it was also fish, so I decided maybe he'd gotten sensitive to fish.

So I put the fish away and gave him turkey. That day he was really hungry so he ate it, and threw it up immediately (fortunately, he treats wet food as a "treat" and won't eat more than a tablespoonful).

Then I caught the news about the pet food recall, and the camera scoped past the brands affected -- and I recognized the label. I blinked.

Concerned, frowning, I went to the FDA website,

Check your cat food.

We have six packets that are on the recall list. Or had. I'm taking them back to the pet food store.

I guess I felt safe from the recall because we don't buy Iams and we have a small label "health food" kitty food. Good thing Monte's smarter than me.

Over forty brands. Man.

Yes, thank goodness Monte's a smart kitty. Long may he turn up his nose to rat poison.

Has the Koala-cat-thing persuaded you? Sometimes Monte kitty does a con job on us, trying to convince me that WG didn't feed him and vice versa. He's succeeded in getting seconds this way, too. (Kitty is fourteen pounds and 20% heavier than he should be.)

I am a tough owner, he does not persuade me. Although he has got the new housemate good with his acting ability. She thought he hadn't been fed and so gave him a huge second meal. I got back there was one very fat, smug looking koala-cat-thing. There is a reason why we have a note that says 'koala-cat-thing has not been fed and would like it if you kindly would' on one side and 'koala-cat-thing has been fed, anything else are LIES' on the other.
