I agree with Phil. I feel Purina, and my cats have never been in better
health. Fancy Feast is now owned by Nestle-Purina, and the dry I
feed is Purina One.
I am not saying that it could never happen that Purina has a problem,
but it has not happened yet.

that we know of --- yet ---- I'm also feeding Purina, but having started to
read some of the blogs & info being leaked, I'm nervous & not just about pet
foods. Too many conglomerates, too little control & lots of misinformation.
So far, my cats are healthy but I look everyday at the recall lists.

There must be something addictive in Purina One! When I have that,
The cats will eat it in preference to the dry food I feel is mcuh more
healthy!

It has happened with Purina. In the seventies there was a problem with the
cans. I never used any Purina anything ever again. A Siamese cat that I
had adopted because he had been a show cat but was neutered so could no
longer be shown. He died very suddenly before I could even get him to the
vet. The Purina situation was in the news at the time. I know that whoever
worked there is probably long gone now and it's probably a very different
story.

Of course I don't look busy,
I did it right the first time.

I was around back then, though a child.
In any case, my apologies to those who it offends, but the Purina One dry
and Nestle/Purina Fancy Feast cat food I have been feeding my cats for
a long time has not made them sick.
I'm kind of happy about that. I hope you all understand.
It was pure luck that I was feeding that, instead of one of the brands
that used tainted grains--that and the fact that I have a cat who has
a wheat allergy, so I read the labels and don't feed her anything
that has wheat in it.

I had listened to my vet for years and years and only fed mine SD dry
(didn't clue to the fact that he also sold that brand - DUH!!). It was only
when Bandit was so badly burned at the vet and wouldn't eat that I tried
tempting her with a variety of smelly (to me) canned foods and hit on FF as
being the most desired. I was worried that it wouldn't meet their
nutritional needs so I researched it - be damned if it wasn't better for
them than the SD!!! OK, no-brainer, they loved it and it was good for them!
Hugs,
CatNipped

Must be the same thing in cat food as people food: healthy <> tasty.
My last vet called Meep a Junk Food Junkie because of her wet food
choices. Does that "ick" foot-shake thing when I'd put down the healthy
stuff, and won't touch it even if she's starvin'. To her "this ain't food!"

Purina IS healthy food. Food can be healthy AND taste good.
