ranchbeans: Canned tuna in spring water for human consumption 50 cents each. Mix with just about any dry food and your cats will truly worship you.

Unfortunately a regular diet of tuna is very bad for cats. It leads to a serious vitamin E deficiency as well as an annoying addiction to tuna.

This link ^ discusses it. Here is the quote.

"9. It may come as a surprise to many that tuna fish is bad for cats. Feline's heart muscle requires an amino acid called taurine to maintain normal strength and function. Regular tuna fish for humans does not have this amino acid and cats that eat too much tuna fish will develop heart problems. If you want to give your cats that taste of tuna that they love, just make sure it is tuna fish for cats which has this amino acid added."

Lalalala

Try this variety of PurinaOne. It's good for cats with a sensitive system. Just a heads up, the first couple of ingredients in your cat's food should be chicken, turkey or lamb followed by brewer's rice. Cats don't digest corn very well. I'm posting a link to the brand I mentioned above. You should be able to find it at any sizeable supermarket or pet store. For our cat we use PurinaOne's weight maintenance & hairball control cat food.

The Invisible Sky Wizard: Oh, and to drew and the tards at the helm: cool it with the farking filters.

I doubt that they really have the kind of fine point control you would like. Those filters get applied across the boards to all threads.

I, and many others, look forward to the mayhem every year.

It is unfortunate in threads like this but is often very funny elsewhere. Its only for one day.

My dog wouldn't eat some nasty Alpo Prime Cuts dry crap my husband bought on sale (doggie usually gets dry Science Diet or Pedigree fat-dog food) a few days before the news came out. I figured he was just being picky, and then the recall came out a couple days later. The Alpo dry stuff still isn't listed as contaminated, but I'm quite sure it will be. This dog will eat anything, including rancid garbage, cat vomit, and the contents of litterboxes and diapers.
I also trust his judgment as to what's ok, RichMeatyTaste, so I trust we'll be seeing that on the list soon.

Lalalala

You're welcome & good luck.

Mods, Drew, and anyody else who thinks it's a neat idea to make your users refresh 6 times until the right story comes up, suck my alls. You retards can kiss my ass."

"What moron thought up the "pirate" filter? Can we skip the April Fools crap? IT IS NOT FUNNY. (I hate the Internet on 4/1)"

I have to seriously agree with oth of these sentiments.


That sounds like something someone who hasn't een around Fark would say.

I use Royal Canin Indoor 27 for my cat and he loves it. I have not seen any problems with him. I was quite freaked out when I first saw the recall. And I decided a while back that I was going to try and feed my cat the best stuff I could afford for him instead of the cheap generic crap. He's doing well. Just as psychotic and energetic as ever. And my heart-felt condolences to y'all who are suffering from the loss or possible loss of a loved pet.

Titinita: Those saying that dogs and cats should just be fed raw meat--just remember domesticated dogs evolved eating what humans were eating, which was cooked meat.

Why do you assume humans always ate cooked meat?

I can't name one pet food company that isn't listed. If any of you Farkers can, post it.

My cat got sick twice on Nutro and Science Diet dry food, one with severe intestinal probems and once with a urinary tract infection so bad he was peeing pure blood. My vet said if I had waited even 1/2 day more he would have died. They switched him to Royal Canin U/O and he's been fine ever since. I'm convinced it was the food all along.

This whole thing pisses me off so bad. My mom's cat eats the recalled Nutro pouches with gravy and chunks. He seems fine so far, but who knows?

Oh FARK, now I'm checking labels. Thanks for the head's up on the new additions!!

I have to have VERY high octane goodies to get through nail trimming which she needs almost weekly since she's got vizsla nails from hell. So I bought Pounce as a treat for my dog to tide us over when I ran out of freeze dried liver. The version I have isn't quite the same as what's recalled; it shows no gluten on the label either. But out it will go anyway, I take NO chances if I can help it.

You really can't win it seems. If it's not this, it's salmonella in pig's ears chewies (few years ago and I think recently too), bacteria in the veggies (last year, which made home cooking for my dog a real pain there for a while), plastic components in the wet food (now), contaminants/bacteria in the dry food (a few years ago I think). Even the freeze dried liver was off the shelves a while ago over mad cow worries on beef from the UK (maybe two years ago?).

The Only Good Moran:

My cat died as a result of those negligant bastards. I had to watch my cat die in my arms a painful death of kidney and liver failure at just before 1:30 am on the 21st. I hope those assholes go bankrupt.


:(

My kitty died of cardiomyopathy the night my hubby and I came back from vacation. It's like he waited for us to come home and say goodbye. Worst farking night of my life.

I'm so sorry:(

I Can't Find My Pants

Menu Foods and the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates the pet food industry, have refused to identify the company that supplied the contaminated wheat gluten.

They apparently just did:

Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Company Ltd.
Wangdian Industrial Zone,
Peixian, CN-32, China 221623

But I wonder if this is the only one?
