Best cat food.

  • Awfully sorry to hear about your cat. Could you point us in the direction of some of these other isolated incidents? From what I have read already of the Australia incident I am still happy to feed Orijen but I would be interested to read other documented cases.

    Thanks for sharing your story with us.


    Sorry for the delay in responding. And thank you for your interest and concern. My cat's wheelchair arrived last week so I have been getting her to practise walking in it and she's doing well.

    Here are some links regarding isolated incidents which may or may not be linked to the feeding of Orijen, you can read their owners' thoughts and I'll keep mine to myself. Feeding cats irradiated diets is documented in published studies as causing feline leucoencaphalomyelopathy - lesions and stripping of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. What else might be going on is anyone's guess but our cats here are seriously affected moreso than the published studies cats seem to have been - HOWEVER laboratory cats would be younger and kept in a controlled environment so it's hard to make comparisons. Having said all that, here are the links I have collected so far:


    Oh.... I posted all the links and got this message

    Sorry as a new user you are not allowed to post with links. This is done to stop spammers clogging up the site. Please edit your message below to continue

    So I had to delete them.
    Anyone wanting about 6 links can PM me with their email address and I will send them to you. Sorry. I'll be private with your email address and you have nothing to fear I am too busy caring for my cat, haranguing the government and spreading the word about a certain pet food company's economy of truth to be spamming people's emails or causing other cybermischief.

    Thanks all
