Information On Cat
1 Aug
I had my cat Mao put to sleep on 02/28/07 because of kidney failure. I had been feeding him Iams Select Bites in Gravy daily. I learned of the Menu Foods recall three weeks later. Iams was one of the recalled foods.
I shot this video of Mao the last afternoon I spent with him. He was feeling pretty awful, but gathered some energy for the camera. I have lots of pictures of him, but realized I didn’t have any video. I was a mess that day and Mao wasn’t himself, but I’m glad to have this little bit of video. Wish I had video of the happier times, but I’d like people to know how many animals have been affected by the tainted food. A far cry from the reported sixteen by Menu Foods.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hate those stupid Menu Foods and they think they can get away with it. After the recall hardly noone has been buying their products. Soon those foods will stop selling because of everyone boycotting their products!
I’m so sorry for …
I’m so sorry for you and beautiful Mao. That crap food has long been considered junk with a big fat price tag. People fed it because they believed it was a premium food and safe and healthy for their cats. The only thing premium about Iams is the price tag. So very tragic.
I’m so sorry about …
I’m so sorry about your cat - I didn’t know anything about this pet food recall til today (I’m in the UK) and I read about all the pets that died from tainted food, it’s awful.
I have a Patterdale Terrier puppy and would be so sad if anything happened to her, my 3 year old son adores her and she’s really part of our family.
You were clearly so upset filming this, knowing you didn’t have much time left with Mao. Thankyou for sharing it x
Thank you for …
Thank you for sharing the little time Mao and you had together. I lost two cats from kidney failure from feeding my cats food from Menu Foods. I have continually contacted them for the past 2 1/2 years and have never heard from them.
I am sooo sorry …
I am sooo sorry that you had to go thru this. I would have freaked if it were any of my babies. I would have been raising and suing the company. I cant stand that this had to happen to your cat and to others pets also. So sad!!!!
Don’t worry. A few …
Don’t worry. A few years from now, you’ll see him in the rainbow bridge. :((
so ironic his name …
so ironic his name is Mao. I am so sorry though it is terrible.
I am so sorry this …
I am so sorry this happened to you, and to others.
I’ve only had my first pet as an adult for almost three months now, and already he’s family. Anyone who thinks pets aren’t family have never had a pet or are just heartless jerks.
Terrible… I …
Terrible… I remember when Taco Bell had recall of all their food which was contaminated because of bad onions… many people had Kidney failures… so sad…
My Babe was killed …
My Babe was killed because of the recall. My vet denied that it was even linked to the recall. He was 5 years old, and a beautiful black cat. Someone needs to pay for our babies suffering!
I am so sorry! I …
I am so sorry! I know all too well. Both of my babies died as well. I was a wreck and I still miss my Beau and Salina very much. Menu Foods and Iams have no idea what kind of pain and heartbreak they brought into our lives with that food. My Heart is with you.
My baby girl, Lexie …
My baby girl, Lexie, too. Mao reminds me a bit of her, with her Maine Coon fur. I can’t even type now; my heart is with you. Kevin
I doubt that the …
I doubt that the person who commented about ‘just another cat’ can have any idea of how a pet is part of the family.
I am so sorry about this beautiful cat I have 3 cats and I would be devastated if anythig bad happened to any of them.
Sorry to hear about …
Sorry to hear about your loss. My cat also had kidney failure because of cat biscult I feed him and passed away. Now, I only buy the best cat biscults that show the symbol on the packet, - it’s ok for kidney function.
I’m so sorry for …
I’m so sorry for your loss! Mao was a beautiful cat in life, and I’m sure he appreciated the time you spent with him before the end. It makes me so angry how these contaminated products stole so many beloved pets from their owners.
Mao was so …
Mao was so beautiful and how truly tragic is this situation that we are expected to trust our government and corporations (which by far are almost all corrupt). I believe many more animals died due to this toxin in their food than will ever be reported or admitted. I am so sorry for your loss, I have four babies of my own and I just cherish them. I have had losses before, but not due to scandals and corruption such as this!
Mike Mozart of …
Mike Mozart of JeepersMedia is currently working on his second video about melamine in our food. He has been talking with media worldwide and food representatives for the last few days and will put his findings in a video to be released today or tomorrow.
The first video on this subject is already the top rated video on YouTube of all time!
We are standing together to demand action and answers.
For our children, for our pets, for us, support Mike Mozart by spreading his video.
I am very sorry for …
I am very sorry for your loss. It’s time we all stand together and put a stop to this. Our FDA is NOT protecting us. Now it is becoming known that the same melamine that killed your cat is in our HUMAN food. I personally have become ill with kidney problems and I live in the U.S.
The U.S. imported millions of pounds of milk powder related products such as casein from China this year alone. It is being used in our products manufactured right here in the the United States (and Europe).
We have the same …
We have the same problem in France+Europe but there is NO RECALL HERE so most of people dont believe although many pets are borned half died, many are dying with no reason…I share your pain with you for sweet Mao, you bring me tears.
Obrigada for this video.

The person how said just another Cat. You are hartless basterd. May Burn in .
menu foods killed …
menu foods killed my dog. we went through the same thing. it was on my young kids to watch him suffering the same way your cat did. just laying for hours, not eating, or drinking. i miss our dog we my daughter still cries about it. i’m sorry i hope you are feeling better now.
Oh well, It’s just …
Oh well, It’s just a cat. You can always answer another free cat add in the paper. There are thousands of free cats in the paper,so no big deal.
Not all animals …
Not all animals must be functionally useful. Pets are meant to boost up the emotional side of a person. Cats may be temperimental and unpredictable, but their playfulness and the silly things that they do makes people laugh. Some cats are really funny to watch and play with. At least they help to give you laughter, which is the best medicine. That I think can sometimes be better than a dog. I love both dogs and cats. They have their own usefulness.
This video made me …
This video made me cry badly.. I feel sorry for you.
