Pet food recall?

okay we have a cat and are not sure what to feed her due to
the pet food recall list. this all to me is very confusing - some
say baby food but cats are carnivores and pefer meat. some
websites say friskies and 9 lives are not on the list and then
others say they are. some say organic food - but it is very
pricey. i honestly have no idea what to do - please help - is
9lives and friskeys bad? thats what my cat has ate throughout
the past few weeks. even if it is not - does anyone have any
soultions?
i am so very sorry for those who have lost there animals! i
know what it is like and i am truley sorry.
thanks so much everyone!!!
Answers:
i feed mine friskies, but ONLY the stuff that has no wheat gluten in it. which is any canned food that isn't shredded or chunk style or the prime filets-basically the mush stuff. and the flavor dry i feed him has no wheat gluten, the chefs blend-i think they changed the name to signature blend now or something. i haven't had a problem.

The same thing happened to our cat, so we had to change her diet. We now feed her tuna, which is a bt more pricy, but I know my cat is safe. And do not feed it an entire can at a time. I usually give her 1/3 of the can at a time. Hope this helps and good luck with your furry friend! ;D

Friskies and 9 lives have both not been on the recall list... YET. And the key word here is YET.. much like other brands of dog and cat foods that were not initially on the list but eventually got added among the others.
Not all organic food is pricey.
By Nature at PetSmart is not on the recall and will not be on the recall because it doesn't contain the product they are having issues with which is the corn/wheat gluten products used as fillers in most brands.
If you really do not want to spend the extra $3 on good food for your cat (it's good for more reasons than not being on the recall list) then I would simply recommend purchasing any brand that isn't currently on the MenuFoods recall list (which you can get by searching Google).
FYI - Tuna alone is not a sufficient diet for your cat. Tuna can be given as a reward or treat, but you should not expect your cat to be healthy if it just eats Tuna it's entire life.

I went on the official FDA website for the recalls and decided to feed my cats a mixture of Friskies and Fancy Feast as I did not see them on the list my cats prefer dry and canned cat food. Fancy Feast is a bit more expensive but my cats enjoy it so I will pay the price. As for the first answer it is a good idea of feeding the cat tuna but it does not give them the adequate nutrition that they need... but in the wild they don't have somebody to make sure they eat their meat and veges so it is all in what you believe is best for your cat.

Whatever you do , don't feed your cat IAMS- There was a warning posted on the Craig forum this moring. Of all the foods available, Fancy Feast is the best commercial food: Turkey and Giblet Feast, Liver and Giblet Feast, Whitefish and Tuna Feast ,to name a few, do not contain wheat gluttun. They are also low in carbs- especially the ones I have listed- Chicken feast and Tender Beef Feast are low carb too. Not all of Fancy Feast are the best for kitty but the ones I have listed here are the best. They have discovered that high carb cat foods are contributing to feline diabetes so its important that you try to avoid high carbs. Facy Feast is about 5.20 for 12 cans and while this is not cheap- its not as expensive as the alternatives. Also stay away from dry food. These contain lots of grain that kitty cannot digest because he lacks the essential enzyme for breaking them down. I know all of this because I have a diabetic cat (he is one of five). My cats get the raw diet and canned Fancy Feast.
Good luck!
