Special Kitty Pouch Cat-food Killed Whiskers
Many of you who read my blog regularly know we recently lost out beloved cat Whiskers to kidney failure. Today I read in the paper that the Special Kitty Pouch Cat-food that he regularly ate was being recalled because it caused kidney failure in an unknown number of cats. The pet food is manufactured by Menu Foods and they list 40 brands of cat food alone. I didn't even look at the dog food list. The dog and cat food is sold by Kroger, Safeway, Wal-Mart, and PetSmart among others. Please if you have a cat or dog check and make sure your cat or dog's food isn't on the list.
Now I am terrified that our much loved Sockie-Pooh is at risk of kidney failure. He never seemed to like the pouch cat food as much as Whiskers did, he usually just licked the gravy off the top and left the rest for Whiskers to eat. We had started feeding him dry cat food after Whiskers' death because so much of the pouch food was wasted. Still Monday morning I plan to take him to the veterinarian for a kidney function test.
I am outraged that Whiskers' my loving and gentle cat is dead because the pet food manufacture couldn't be bothered to make sure their product was safe for pets to eat. The article states that 10 pets died, I know for a fact that the count is much higher as they aren't counting Whiskers, I can only wonder how many other beloved pets have been killed because of this manufactures reckless behavior.
