9Lives Cat Food

I am not sure if the 9 lives dry cat food is to blame but I had never fed this to my cat until I purchased a bag this past weekend. Yesterday evening, I came home to find my cat had not eaten all day and is now laying around restless, not wanting to eat or drink anything, dry nose and raspy breathing. I am going to discontinue feeding him this to see if he improves.

9Lives cat food almost killed my cat. He was very sick. Luckily I figured out it was the cat food and read all the complaints on here. So I will never feed it again. My cat is 9 years old and at first I thought maybe he was just declining due to old age, but he declined way too fast to just be old age. He stopped eating and because he is very quiet, he got a nasty runny nose and eyes. He just lay around and you could hear his breathing was very raspy. We had feed 9Lives a few weeks ago because the store was out of the regular food we feed. He was sick then too, but we thought he just had a kitty cold. But we knew right away this time that as soon as he got sick it had to be the food. He has been on his regular food for 4 days know and is almost completely better. Then I read all of the other complaints on here about it and I'm sure it was the food. I'm very sorry to all the people who have lost their beloved pets from this horrible food and I am glad I figured it out before it killed my beloved Rocky.

I bought a bag of 9lives Plus Care, and my 3 cats and my son's 3 cats have been throwing up since they ate it for one day. I just went and bought a different food, because I saw all the people on here who said their cats died. My cats ate only 9lives for 3 days and are still throwing up. I hope they don't die. They are eating a different brand but are still throwing up today. I wrote an email to 9lives but haven't heard anything yet from them.

When are you going to stop putting the dyes in our cats food? I have a big spot again on my carpet, and it dyes the carpets when they throw up! They do not need to know what color their food is. I have had enough of 9lives and have gone to a pure food for my cats. It kills them as it does humans! And do not bother sending me "coupons" for your food, I will not use them. It resulted to sick cats and stained carpets! The last time I complained, one of your staff members sent me an idea for a carpet cleaner! Get real!

My son and his family adopted a 1.5 year cat from the animal shelter, they fed him 9Lives Cat Food for about 2 weeks. One evening he would not eat, laid around and looked weak. The next day he started vomiting, would not eat, drink or walk. He started foaming white liquid from his mouth and died shortly after. Please take this food product off the market and investigate. The death of Rocky was devastating to the children and family.

I bought 9Lives Plus and after my 3 cats, who have not ever been outside, became sick, vomiting clear foam and seizures. Two died of horrible deaths before the vet's office opened and the other one had to be put down the next day. They each had went into kidney failure. They were fine until one week of eating this cat food. I cannot say that it was because of this food, but it was strange that after eating it for one week, I had 3 cats die in one day.

I bought a bag of 9Lives ultra care cat food. This cat food is suppose to help maintain their urinary tract health and boost their immune system. After feeding my cats this food, they all began to drool and became listless. They did not want to eat or drink anything. Unfortunately, my favorite cat named Philip, did not survive and died a violent and painful death. His kidneys shut down and he was vomiting blood. He suffered seizures and my two young daughters witnessed this horrible death of their beloved pet. All my cats were perfectly fine prior to feeding them this food. My other cats have begun to recover, now that I no longer give them this food.

I bought cat food for my cat and found bones in her food. The code on the can was TZS1036T1. I was very upset because my cat could have choked on these bones.

I had been feeding my cats 9 Lives for 10 years soft and dry. There were never any problems. 3 months ago, I started noticing that both of my cats were vomiting a lot. One cat only eats wet food, the other mainly dry food. The kitty eating the soft food started not eating as much as usual, her coat looked very oily, she vomited everyday, her stool was diarrhea with blood in the stool. I got very worried. The other cat was vomiting as well but no other signs. I had a thought that it was something with the cat food and I was right.

I switched to Iams dry and fancy feast wet and now, neither cat ever throws up. The older kitty's stool is solid with no blood and she is gaining weight. What in the world are they putting in that food? Why is the FDA not doing anything? How many cats have died? This needs to be brought out! We need to act against 9 Lives before they kill more pets!

Our cats loved 9 lives canned cat food but now, they will no longer eat it in the new can with the blue label. They look at it, give it a smell and then walk away. I need to find a new brand, they are getting skinny. What a waste of money.

My cats loved super supper until they recently changed the formula. They will no longer eat it in the new can with the blue label. They look at it, give it a smell, and then walk away. I am tired of throwing away full cans of product. I cannot believe a company of this size could do something so stupid as changing something that worked so well. Do you remember the new Coke? Unfortunately, my cats will not eat any of 9Lives other products, so now I must search for something they will eat. They lose me as a customer.

Have used the produce (beef slices --super supper, chicken) for 13 years. The past two months the cans are more water than product. Do not satisfy the cat's hunger. I'm tired of bring them back to the super market and complaining.

I have bought 9 lives ocean whitefish dinner canned food for many months. The last couple of times, I noticed tiny little white worms in the food. My cat has all of a sudden stopped eating the food. I just can't believe that this is happening

On 14 January 2010, I purchased the usual case of 9Lives Variety Classic Pate wet cat food. My cat consumed a couple of cans within 3days. By that Sunday, I noticed my cat not eating or drinking at all. That Monday, my cat was not moving around at all. I noticed that she was vomiting clear fluid and her urine was almost black. By Tuesday, she was trying to hide and was not real responsive. Her pupils were dilated. I also noticed that her nose and eyes were runny. At that point, not knowing what was really happening, I was going to have her put down.

It was brought to my attention that the cat food she was eating prior to all of this, smelled bad and looked bad. Turns out that my cat had a case of salmonella poisoning.The can she ate before she got sick was the 9Lives Chicken and Tuna Dinner. I did contact 9Lives and gave them the numbers on the can. My cat is 13 years old and she pulled through and survived all of this! My Vet recommended that I use IAMS Low Residue Cat food.Today is 01 Feb 2010, My cat is starting to eat again and is slowly getting her strength back.

Last Tuesday evening, 12/29/09, I opened a can of cat food. I have three cats, and I gave them canned food a couple of times a week. I do not give them the whole can. I noticed that Tigger, who is the big eater, was not eating, and Belle, whom I am writing about, was eating more than usual. She got sick that night, vomiting a few places a very clear stuff.

She was hiding the next morning; she was listless all day not eating or drinking but vomiting (a foul odor to it). She was still like this on New Year's day. I had to take her to the emergency vet. They did a bunch of tests, kept her overnight, and wanted to keep her again, but I could not afford to do that. The cost of the day and night came to $548.37. Her kidney count was bad. She was very dehydrated; I had to take her back to her vet.

On Monday, 1/4/10, as they were closed for the holiday weekend, they did necessary blood work and gave her med for vomiting. She again was dehydrated. She stayed there all day; total cost was $398.36. I asked the vet if he thought it could have been the cat food, as Belle was fine before she ate that. She is an indoor cat. He said it very well could be. And I asked if I should call the FDA, which I did yesterday. I am supposed to hear back from them, hopefully, by the end of the week.

Belle is still not well. I'm trying to get water in her with a dropper. I felt I should report this to your agency also. I don't know where to get help. I dug the empty can out of trash and have it in plastic bag. There are a few scrapes of the cat food left in it. If you have any suggestions for me, I would greatly appreciate your help. I am 71 years old, retired, and on a very fixed income.

My two male cats both recently got sick on the same day. We rushed them to the vet and they both had kidney stones. One of them is doing ok. The other one died early Thursday morning (19 APRIL 07) from kidney stones. He was only 5 yrs old and healthy up until just before he went in the first time. I can't even believe he's gone. Our cats have eaten the same dry food for years and an occasional can of special kitty over the last year (A type that was not recalled).

When Menu foods did the recall over a month ago, just to be safe we switched them to 9-lives wet cat food because it was not recalled and not a menu foods product. The 9-lives company claims there is no recall on their products, my vet says there is no doubt what happened to my cats is related to their food regardless whether or not it is recalled.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my baby boy, but even more concerned that one of my other cats or even my dogs may get sick and die. I find it extremely disheartening that there may be more products on the shelves still poisoning our pets and possibly eventually us. What is it going to take to fix this? And who is going to compensate our losses financially, it won't bring back our babies, but it makes the whole experience even worse!
