Did your hear that Hill’s is recalling prescription diet for weightloss and diabetes in cats?
they did it as a precaution because during couple of months the wheat gluten was supplied by the same company which supplied for Menu foods and small amounts of melamine were found.
It concerns dry food Hill’s Feline m/d 4 and 10 lb bags.
Are you as worried as I am about commercial pet foods and that there may be many more foods affected? Are you prepared to start to cook for your cats? And would you like me to put some home made recipes together including prescription diets? I could contact a few vets and publish it on a website http://www.catbehaviortraining.com/catrecipes and you could contribute too if you have some good recipes.
In the mean time I have published a few recipes from a holistic vet on:

But if there is enough interest I could add more recipes including weight loss and renal diets on this site: http://www.catbehaviortraining.com/catrecipes
Been giving my cats (one is diabetic)people food for a long time for exactly the above reason. … a bunch of cats got killed and there are no charges filed…if it was cornflakes or baked beans someone would be going to jail….as for what to cook…frozen cooked prawns are easy when you are in a rush in the morning……just pour boiling water on top to defrost..or canned tuna in spring water…..frozen cod/haddock boiled for about 10 min at dinner….usually supplement with cooked slice meat from the deli…for snacks during the day if i am home…occasionally they will eat steak or minced beef or fried chicken (i get a big bag frozen from tesco)….tuna is about the same price as cat food so it makes sense if you care about your cats well being…plus if you do the research on what goes into cat food (apart from the occasional poisoning) you will likely make the change.
In addition, a bunch of the big pet food companies badly mistreat animals so i don’t like to buy from them.
