The pet food recall that was in the news day after day last year terrifying pet owners is over, done, and out of the news. The thing is though, it’s not over for some people.

I got an email today from a long-time reader of the blog who wrote to tell me that another reader’s cat died today. My heart sunk when I saw the email come through and read the subject line. Then as I read the email I cried. This was the second cat this person lost as a result of eating tainted pet food. The first one died last year, and the cat that died today suffered with kidney problems until this morning. Both cats should be happy, healthy, and getting into mischief that cats get into. Instead, their people are grieving. It’s just not right that tainted food has killed, and continues to kill, so many pets.

My heart aches for the people who had to say goodbye to their friend today..and to everyone else who is still dealing with the effects of the recall.
