Thanks for the heads up, I'm sure a lot of forum pet owners will be happy not to be giving their fluffy contaminated food.

haven't seen my kitty since 2006.. I really need to make the drive home one of these weekends :)
 
i read about this on another forum; over there someone mentioned that quite a few pets had kidney failure after eating the food, and i think about 10 died as result.

:(

I'm so relieved that my kitty only eats dry food.. she refuses to eat wet food :P

Plus she's 18 or so years old and still looks/acts like she did when she was 3 or 4, so if something like this were to come by and get her sick I'd probably attempt to bomb the food factory. (crazy)
 
I tried to get fluffy to eat some organic cat food but she didn't like it hehe.

But deep down inside, aren't all cats snobs? :D that's why they're so awesome.
 
Yeah, and they only get crystal kitty litter because Rhett had a urinary blockage and had to have a $2k operation.

Ashley is the big one with white feet. He's about 18lbs.

Rhett is the runt with the darker feet and face. He's my boy.

yeah I didn't bother searching, sorry about that. I was worried and know how important people's pets are so I just blabbed it to all the forums I'm on. (2thumbs)
me too. I don't have pets, but know they are important to people...
 
yeah, my mom had to throw away all their wet cat food cuz it was one of the listed brands.

The cat usually only eats two bites though, then walks away and the dog eats her food, haha, so we were more worried about the dog.
