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.

My oldest cat, Mel (he's a shorthair black cat), Has been getting old and is no longer able to digest the dry food. SO we put him on canned food. A week later guess what was on the news?

Pet food recall.

There were even reports to just avoid the brands made in that factory altogether. I called my family, panicing. the first time, they just took him off the pouches. THen I yelled a bit, and now they are buying the more expensive but safe food for my baby. I wish I could have him in my house, but the landlord vetoed pets. :(
