Animals have been throwing up and many have actually died. When member-unknown had brought this to my attention I--being an overprotective cat parent--stopped buying Purina for a while. I ended up buying just two cans of Fancy Feast because Murdoch was out of food and it was just to hold him over 'til I got paid and could go to PetSmart for safe cat food. I figured he'd be okay. The whole "it can't happen to me" attitude.
Well, the one can he ate there were no complaints--the second can he threw up. Perhaps he threw up because I picked him up and upset his stomach, I don't know. But I'm afraid the cat food might have been poisoned or something and that's why he threw up. He's okay, but I've written off Purina entirely.
Yesterday my sister's pen-pal in Indiana feed her outdoor cats Friskies. Several threw up, one died, and the other had slinked off inside her Dad's garage. When she found the cat, it was lethargic and dehydrated. She nursed it back to health and it's better today.
What's going on with Purina? Has anyone heard anything? Is there a recall I don't know about?

P.S. Thank you member who's name I have forgotten for putting the link in your signature. Scary to think that Murdoch could have been one of those poor kitty-cats.

I've also been feeding my two cats Purina naturals cat chow. It has increased their throwing up and they also have bloody stool.
Never had an issue and then all of a sudden my poor girl was having bladder issues and blood in her urine along with constantly throwing up. I was extremely worried and ended up taking her to the Vet. She ended up staying in the clinic for 10 days under constant observation.
I bought my cat a new bag of Purina cat chow indoor formula last night. 20 minutes after feeding him from the new bag he was vomiting blood, foaming at the mouth, voiding his bladder and thrashing around the house. We left for the vet within minutes but it didn't matter. He died in my daughter's arms on the way to the vet.
