Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2007Recall expanded
They just keep adding and adding brands. The latest casualty is the entire line of Nutro Gourmet Classics, which happens to be the favorite food of our crew of picky eaters. :( I have 6 cases I need to return and we're scrambling to find other non deadly food they will eat.

This is a very ugly thing, isn't it? Guess it's time to start cooking.

You mean the Nutro that the girl in the petshop persuaded me was a 'safe' option to buy for finnicky felines a few weeks ago... (sighs) I haven't used it yet because even when I bought it I thought it was probably a Bad Idea (actually I thought the finicky felines would probably refuse to eat it...) I guess I'll put them in the trash. At least I only bought two small cans to try... I think I'm DEFINITELY going to quit feeding them canned food for the duration - they're running out of things to eat! > You mean the Nutro that the girl in the petshop persuaded me was a > 'safe' option to buy for finnicky felines a few weeks ago... (sighs) FWIW, it's the favorite food of our crew of *very* finicky felines. > I haven't used it yet because even when I bought it I thought it was > probably a Bad Idea (actually I thought the finicky felines would > probably refuse to eat it...)

Make sure the dry food you feed them does not contain corn! SignatureVictor M.

I know that the Gerber brand of baby food doesn't use onions in their all-meat food, though I'm not sure if that means they don't use garlic. I use Gerber meat baby food to hide the taste of Roxy's lysine. Joyce >>>> They just keep adding and adding brands.

I've been feeding my fur-babies Fancy Feast "pate" canned and they are doing wonderfully well on it. I made the decision some time ago simply by reading the label - the first three ingredients are meat and there is not a single trace of wheat or wheat gluten (which is only a "filler" that ends up creating more to scoop out of the litter box). I would think that anyone could feel safe feeding their cats a canned cat food as long as it doesn't have any wheat or wheat gluten listed in the ingredients. Hugs, CatNipped >> Jill > > But baby food doesn't contain taurine which is necessary for a cat's > survival - without it they will go blind and eventually die from lack of it. There's a cat gravy that has the Taurine in it. Maybe you could add that to whatever you've decided to feed the cat. I got a bottle of it at PetCo, just because my kitten loves gravy... Kathy >>> Jill >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > just because my kitten loves gravy... > Kathy Be careful to read the ingredients, however, because wheat gluten is what they use in gravy to thicken it (which is why most of the first round of recalls were for "meat in gravy" type foods).

I have not been giving any to TuTu since the first word of the recall. I finally got out a good magnifying glass to read the ingredients. Each can listed "wheat gluten" as an ingredient. I am aware that it is not on the recall list. I have stated several times that my disposer ate more of the wet food than TuTu did. My Siamese ( RB 16) loved anything with gravy, but TuTu did not like it at all. MLB >>>>> They just keep adding and adding brands.

MLB Hmmmm... what flavors were they? My four will only eat the "pate" canned* and I've examined the ingredients listed on those quite carefully and there is *NO* wheat, wheat gluten or wheat byproducts lised. Thankfully, they have never like any of the "gravy" type foods. * Specifically: Tender Beef Feast, Groumet Chicken Feast, Tender Liver and Chicken Feast, and Turkey and Giblets Feast.

The second and third items contain "by-products" and all "wheat gluten" I have a theory that the fancier the name, the less likely TuTu will eat it. My son did the shopping for me when these were purchased. >>>>>>> They just keep adding and adding brands.

I pulled all cat food off the shelves that have any wheat gluten in them no matter what brand it was. The distributors are accepting anything back right now. I have a sign posted at the cat food aisle and on each door entering the store advising of the pet food recall. There is a notice also that the store and myself are not responsible for the recall. Personally I am ready to start going to a raw food diet if it gets to the other major brands such as fancy feast or Whiskas. I am worried about Rumble who already has damaged kidneys and liver from being on diazepam for his epilepsy I hate to say this with all these recalls. I am sure the furballs were exposed some how some way but I am praying that none show any problems here in the future. They added Publix a very local supermarket to the recall list yesterday Publix, Winn Dixie, Food Lion and Wal-Mart are the local super markets here. > They just keep adding and adding brands.

I'm glad as heck I bought Persia's x/d food well before this nightmare started. Her food isn't on the list. The vet's office has been innundated with calls about the prescription diet food they sell.
