The more I think about it the more fear I have about getting a new cat. I know that the biggest part is opening up my heart and making myself vulnerable to this kind of pain again, but even if I can get past that my next worry is what to feed him or her.

Who do you trust? Wet food is out. Dry food causes kidney problems. Organic food is pretty expensive. Real meat is best but then you have to add stuff and grind bones etc.

It's just all so confusing.

Sadie (named after the Beatles song "s e x y Sadie") came into my life when I rescued her from a cage in the SPCA in 1991. Then she was taken from me when she ate the tainted IAMs food in 2007. You will always be in my heart and thoughts, Sadie. There will never be another like you!

John,

I just went to the Royal Canin website and found some info on eight recalls with the Rice ingredient in it. They have given a safe food list, and the Limited Ingredient diet is deemed safe along with a number of other foods. Here is the URL if you want to take a look: http://www.royalcanin.us/safelist.html

It seems that cooking, ultimately in the end, is gonna be the very safest bet for now, though Royal Canin has had very few recalls, and no recalls for wheat gluten (they don't use it).

Much Love,

Jenn (Chaos' Mom)
