9Lives Cat Food Reviews

We'd been feeding our cat 9Lives tender slices (chicken and beef) for about 6 months with no issues. However, this latest batch of food must be bad. He had horrible, weird diarrhea last night and vomited recently as well. I didn't connect it to the food until he refused to eat it this morning and only wanted his dry food (which never happens). I did a quick search to see if there was a recall and found these reviews.

Our 13-year-old cat started throwing up after eating the 9 Lives Shreds. That was on Wednesday night. She died before daylight on Friday morning. Every time she threw up, she was howling in pain. Our younger cat has lost a lot of hair and is now sick as well. I didn't even think about it being the food until last night when I offered our cat a can of the whitefish/tuna. She wouldn't touch it. I then offered her the beef (I knew she liked this one). She took one sniff of it and ran away. I got online and found this. I hope no one feeds their animals this food!

I have never fed my cat 9Lives cat food but one day, I went to the store and the only canned wet food they had was 9Lives 4 pack, so I bought it. I fed it to my cats and my Siamese stuck up her nose and walked away but my other cat who is not picky at all devoured it. He was fine until a couple days later when he started vomiting, had runny, very stinky diarrhea and was lethargic. This went on for almost a week. At first, we didn't connect it to the food since a few days had passed before the symptoms showed up.

My son's cat that never eats moist food was given a little last night as a treat. Within 20 minutes, he vomited and wobbled into a wall. My son carried him to me; he was limp, drooling and breathing very heavy and fast. When he laid him down, he just stayed in the position he was put in. Within a half an hour, he seemed to be okay and then began eating his normal dry food after awhile. We think he may have had a seizure. My friend brought this site to my attention and I am reading similar situations. This is very scary.

My 13-year old Siamese got very sick last month with bloody diarrhea and vomiting. It was deemed a "dietary indiscretion". Two of my others as well… I switched foods after cooking for them for a week and they were okay. I still had 9 Lives in the house and opened a can of the beef chunks. One of my cats began retching when I put it down for them. The rest turned away and wouldn't eat it. I have fed them 9 Lives and Friskies for many years and never had a problem. But I notice the smell is different in the cans of chunks. I will no longer feed them 9 Lives knowing other people are having issues with the food.

We have been feeding our cats 9Lives dry and can food for years. Our cat Sadie May started having seizures on Fri., March 15, 2013. We didn't make any connection to the food until I found a hard-as-rock chunk of dry food in the Daily Essentials. I was going to pull up the 9Lives website and saw all of the very upsetting complaints. We had problems with Sadie May having viral infections also. The vet placed her on Phenobarbital, which is a strong med for the seizures to come under control. We will never purchase any 9Lives product again.

On Feb. 15, 2013, we purchased a 12-pack of 9Lives Gravy Favorites variety pack. This pack included 4 cans of Chicken, 4 cans of veal and 4 cans of beef (UPC079100112357, chicken can, expires 10/31/15, numbers: 2305BC A2CHH1553; veal can, expires 08/13/15, numbers: 2226BC A1MVM1933; beef can, expires 10/24/15, numbers: 2298BC A1BEF1600). On Feb. 18, 2013, we started feeding this food to only one of our three cats. By Friday, Feb. 22, he couldn't walk. He didn't throw up the food so we didn't make a connection to the food until later.

I also foster. I am currently taking care of a friend's cat that has fallen ill (plus 2 of my cats) which were eating 9Lives Daily Essentials (only because they ran out of the Urinary Tract formula). I started wondering if it was the food and came upon this site. I have called the 9Lives company (consumer affairs in Delmonte who owns 9Lives) in Pennsylvania and told them about my cats and this website. They would like you to contact them so they can find out what lots they were from to do something about it. The number I called is: 1(412) 222-2200. Please call them so they can do something about this and save other pets (cats) from this happening to them!

I purchased 9Lives cat food and now my two cats are vomiting and lethargic after ingesting shredded turkey 9Lives cat food. When I called the company to see if any recalls were issued, I was met with a no, no recalls by operator Donna, not even any concern or take my information so they may follow up with my case. It is our food, etc. Nothing. I will be looking for other cat food options.

This is the third can in a case from BJ's (Gateway, Brooklyn, NY) where the tab at the top of the can breaks off and my can opener doesn't open it. This is Tender cuts Ocean whitefish and Shredded Turkey. The no, under the scanner 0 793391 6; 0794201 1 ... Oh sorry, the tender cuts came from a 4-pack I bought in Waldbaum's, no scanner but lots of no. at the bottom of the can. I don't know which you want. I can return three cans to you for three others with newer tabs if you want.

We purchased this food for our two cats and both of them became ill immediately after consuming the food. They both were vomiting profusely and were very lethargic. One of our cats didn't eat much of the food and started to recover though she seemed slow about it. Our other cat however continued to get worse. At first, we thought it was some coincidence but after our dog got into the cat food bag and started showing the same symptoms, we knew it was no longer a coincidence. I looked online to see if we'd accidentally purchased recalled food and found that there in fact wasn't a recall on 9Lives. Yet, there were several posts online from pet parents complaining that their cats were doing the same thing ours were and their pets eventually died. Most complained that the cats had passed away from liver or kidney failure.

I have been feeding my cats 9 Lives for years, but recently, they have been getting sick and vomiting a lot. I am a foster mom for some cats until the shelter can find them homes. I have 22 cats now, 5 have died, I feel due to the changed formula in 9 Lives. I will be changing their food before more get sick and die. My daughter has 2 cats and they, too, have been getting sick as well as her friend's cat. Good luck to everyone. I hope no harm comes to your cat(s).

I have been feeding this brand of 9Lives for years. Recently, all 4 of my cats have been vomiting after eating. I have one male cat that is prone to vomit anyway so I didn't think too much of it until January 2, 2013 when one of my cats experienced the same behaviors as these other people are expressing: lethargy, vomiting kidney failure. But my cat, upon death, had a foul fluid pour from his nose. He has been fine prior to this happening. I have one more bag that I bought along with this bag that I have not opened. I feed 9 ferrets as well and have also noticed lethargy in them as well. I will be returning that bag to Tractor Supply in Sturbridge, MA and going elsewhere to find something else, probably to Noah's Ark. Too many rendered pet animals from shelters in this batch I guess.

We just bought our first bag of 9 Lives around Christmas. Since starting this food, my cat has become extremely ill. First, he was very tired, he wouldn't move and then he had severe stomach pain. Finally, he won't eat and he can hardly walk. I didn't even consider that it could be the cat food until my dog got into it and started vomiting violently. I have started him on another brand of wet food and fluids. He is better but not 100% and I'm feeding him through an eye dropper. If he doesn't make it, someone will be hearing from my lawyer since there are several other claims on this site with the same issues.

I have 4 cats and I split a can of wet food among them every evening. My 10 month old Siamese kitten became very ill the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. The Monday after the holiday, he would not eat, slept all the time and became pretty lifeless. I took him to the vet and they did all the testing for leukemia and other feline diseases but everything came back negative. He had never been outside and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They put him on an antibiotic and by that Thursday, he could not walk and became very lethargic.

Our cat refused to taste the sliced veal with gravy this morning. We opened a second can of veal and she again refused it and tried to bury it. After reading reviews, we plan to toss the rest of 9Lives and switch to another brand.

I bought a 12-pack box of 9 Lives canned cat food today for my six-month-old kitten. I fed her half a can of the chicken flavor which she gobbled down. I later tried to feed her a little more and she would not eat it, so I thought she was just not hungry. Within 2 hours of eating the half can of food, she became tired and withdrawn. She went to lie on her favorite blanket and, a short time later, I found her on the floor struggling to breathe, listless, crying and she could not walk. I held her and tried to calm her as she cried as if she were in terrible pain and struggled to breath. Within another hour to an hour and a half, as that is how long she lingered on in this terrible state, she began to violently vomit up all the food, had a horrible seizure and died. I feel as though this cat food had something to do with my cat's death. Within 4 to 5 hours of feeding this food to a perfectly normal cat, my cat that I loved dearly is now dead. This cat food should be recalled and checked for contamination.

I've been buying 9 Lives Canned Cat foods for my cats for a couple of months. I feed 2 cats half a can every other day. One time the cats wouldn't touch the 9 Lives chicken strips and it had a rotten odor to it, more like tuna than chicken. I thought it was just a fluke (one bad can) and threw it out. Last night one of my cats became violently ill, throwing up and listless after eating the 9 Lives canned turkey. Thank Goodness I only fed them a little bit of it. I've gathered up the remaining cans and will try to return them to the store along with a copy of this Web site of others complaining of 9 Lives and hope that the company gets the message. I will never feed 9 Lives again. (I feed a different brand dry cat food and have had no problems with it.)

I attempted to switch my cat to 9Lives on Sunday night. After he ate it, he threw it up and has not stopped throwing up ever since. He is dehydrated and miserable. He is not acting like his usual self, sleeping a lot and looks so pitiful. Do not buy this for your cats. Saving money is not worth losing their lives.

I Googled "cats sick from 9Lives" and found this site, after my 19-year old cat just had diarrhea a few minutes ago from eating 9Lives can. I got 9Lives on sale at the Dollar General store near my apartment and was worried this morning when I saw signs in Dollar General about not selling any more dry food. All their dry cat foods were taken off the shelves with no explanation in the store or online. I never buy no-name brands, but bought 9Lives when it was on sale in Dollar General, with a coupon for about 35 cents a can. I'm hoping that wasn't a deadly mistake. I'm certainly not going to give any more to my elderly cat. I have nine more cans I'll be giving to any outside cat, better than the outside cat starving. Never, ever again will I ever buy 9Lives cat food anywhere.

Last week, after my Kitty had taken ill, I took her to the vet. After two days of testing and IVs because of dehydration, I was told she had a serious infection in her liver and gallbladder and immediately started her on antibiotics. She passed away a day later. My niece informed me that I should look up information about a possible recall on her food. I didn't see a recall, but I found this site as I was looking for answers. The vet could not give any definite source of her infection, so I can't be sure but am just sickened and heartbroken at the possibility that this could be the cause of her death. I fed her the 9Lives dried cat food in the large bag. Please, please don't let another animal suffer this way.

I have three cats and they have been eating 9Lives for years. One of my cats is very skinny with thin hair. The other cat has some sores and one of my other cats also has sores. I have found a stray cat dead that I have fed 9Lives to. I really think 9Lives is very bad for cats. It needs to be taken off the market ASAP.

I purchased 9Lives Gravy Favorites Variety Pack (12354J QC 011263). When I opened one of the cans of veal, there was an awful rotten odor. At first, I thought that one of my cats (who was sitting next to me as I opened the can) had broken wind. When I put the food down, none of my 3 cats would go near it, nor would the 3 feral cats that I feed everyday (and they normally eat anything I put down, even the leftovers that my indoor cats leave, or other things my indoor cats won't touch). I thought it was a fluke limited to the one can, but they did the same with another can I opened of the same variety (they will eat the beef and chicken varieties somewhat). Is there a recall? Because I suspect this product is contaminated, and that they process the other varieties in the same facility so cross-contamination is likely. I will stop feeding 9 Lives and Meow Mix (which I also feed regularly and it is made by Del Monte as well).

I have two cats. Last Friday, I bought them 9Lives Indoor Complete Salmon and Chicken Flavor Dry Cat Food 515250 at a Walmart in Irving, Texas. My male cat got sick 2 days after he ate it - vomiting, diarrhea, sleeping for a long time. Day 4, my female cat got sick, same thing. I felt so bad for them I finally realized it was this product. I stopped using it immediately. Someone needs to get the word out before more cats get sick or die! I'm contacting my local news station to get the word out to protect our animals and making sure this never happens ever again!

We have 4 cats and to try to save money, we bought various flavors of 9 Lives Cat Food (wet). Every time our cats ate any of this food, within 5 minutes, they start vomiting. Obviously we are no longer giving them this food, but I have to wonder, what in the heck do they put in this food that is making so many cats sick and why are they allowed to keep selling it?

I am writing about your wet cat food, canned. When I opened the cat food and left it in the dish, it started to have a severe odor that stinks up the whole house. Then there were bugs flying around in the food. Both my cats will not eat it. I have 64 cans left and I will not feed it to my cats. What I would like to know, what is this food made of and what are you selling to us that we are feeding our cats and making them sick? We all should get together and sue this company. They are murdering our cats.

I fed 9 Lives canned chicken dinner to my cats. They both ate and the second time, they walk away from it. Now they are both under the bed and will not eat. This food clearly made them sick. I suggest to all affected parents to request an investigation to the FDA at consumer@fda.gov because the company obviously is not paying attention to the consumers’ complaints. I will never buy this junk again!

I switched back to 9Lives 4-pack wet cat food for my four cats. When the money was tight, I tried to save a little money. In the long run, I risked my cats' lives. Our cats have been rescued from death as newborns and hand fed and nurtured. They have been with us for 6 years, only to appear ill and frail all over again after eating the cat food. On one occasion, they all turned their nose up to it, so I just thought that one was not properly sealed and threw it away. But after a few days of eating the cat food, my littlest one, the runt, became very ill, vomiting, lethargic and really frail. Again today, I opened a new can only to have all of them turn their nose up to it.

My 2 cats (5 in all, my daughter has 3 of the cats) have gotten so sick from this food that I am sick and tired of how people like your corporations think our pets are just "toss away animals." Well, I am here to tell you they are members of our families and you have no right to put in anything you feel is okay because it is not okay. I am trying to teach my daughter that it is wrong and she nor anyone like her should have to take 4th rate cat food to cut corners. I expect to hear from you and your lawyers on how to rectify the fact that you are making our animals sick and I pray not deliberately. UPC code is 0 794101 2 from the can I did not toss.

We have purchased 9 Lives 4-pk canned food over the past several months. This past weekend, my cat became ill with stomach distress (I will not go into detail regarding the descriptions). My dog, who sometimes waits to finish off the bits of food in the cat bowl, became ill with the identical symptoms the same day. Both are inside animals. I have one other cat, a Persian, which did not eat the food. He showed no signs of the illness. I'm holding the remaining cans of the four-pack for identification purposes.

I have been feeding my 4-year old cat 9 Lives wet food and occasionally dry food all his life. I have been noticing that over the past couple of weeks, he turns his nose up to eating his wet food. I give him just a quarter of a cup of dry food during the late afternoon as a snack. I opened up a new bag Friday afternoon and gave him some and as soon as he ate it, he threw it up and he showed signs of not feeling well over the course of the day.

After reading the complaints about 9Lives Canned Cat Food, I decided that I would never buy it again. I was at my local Vons yesterday and found that they are now stocking 9Lives cans. So, I called their customer service department and referred them to your website and asked them to remove this item from their shelves. Then, I emailed Del Monte and referred them to your website and asked that they look into this matter since some of the folks complaining said they had received no response from Del Monte.

I have been feeding my cats 9 Lives for years with no problem. This morning when I fed my cats, the can exploded when I opened it. I threw it out; the next can opened fine, my cats would not eat it. Has any of your canned food been recalled?

I have been feeding my cats 9Lives and within the past 2 days, I currently have 4 of them throwing up blood. And it's only after feeding them the flaked tuna with egg in sauce. I have spoken to 9Lives and they claimed that no one else has complained about this problem. I can't even take them to the vets since money has been extremely tight. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After 2 weeks of having this cat food, we have a lot of cats that eat this, plus 2 dogs that eat it too. We have lost one of our cats tonight because of her eating this cat food. I'm very angry because your company has a lot of complaints that our animals are getting sick, but your company refuses to take it off the shelf. I hope we don't have any more deaths because of your cat food. They were fine until they started eating this brand of cat food. Get a grip on your company and start making better cat food that's safer for the animals. I will not be buying 9Lives anymore. This breaks my heart because my cat who died was a very loving cat and she left behind 3 kittens.

I can't get enough of your Salmon dry food. I am writing not to complain, but to commend you for the quality of your Salmon dry of 9 lives Cat Food. Since I started feeding my 12-year-old cat Shadow (aka baby girl), her smile has perked up and she is eating unbelievably. The thing that is very noticeable is that within 2-3 minutes of setting out the dry Salmon 9 lives cat food, she consumes all of it. Now when I try to get my cat to eat any other type of cat food, she won't eat it. If my cat eats, it is only after a couple of days sitting in her bowl. My question is, what is in this product that my cat is just completely hooked on eating? I have never seen an animal consumer food as fast as Shadow eats. I can go upstairs and come back in just a few minutes and she has completely eaten all that's in the bowl and there isn't a morsel of cat food left. The product you sell is quite amazing and I would wonder what is in this to cause such a reaction. I can't serve enough of it and sometimes, I have to stop giving it to my cat because I am afraid that she eats so much and so fast. It is a good product, but it makes me wonder. In conclusion, I have never seen any animal consume a food product this way.

I have purchased many 9lives can food, but the flaked tuna in sauce has to be opened with a can opener. Then, the opener smells bad. Why can't you put the pull-on tabs on all of your cans?

Wake up and be warned, cat lovers! It finally dawned on me this morning after I opened two cans of 9Lives Daily Essentials Real Flaked Tuna & Cheese Bits in Sauce, found bits of bone and read the contents that I realized this product is slowly killing my cats. I have been buying 9Lives for less than 2 weeks. They have been lethargic (not their usual active selves), throwing up after eating and their litter box(es) have started smelling with a terrible stench (so unlike our cats with perfect hygiene). Worst of all, our kittens have lost weight since we changed to 9Lives. They eat, later throw up (in unsuspecting places) and still seem hungry all day. Duh! Thank God we caught the cause of their suffering before it was too late. 9Lives and Del Monte pet products, take your cat food back to Thailand.

9 Lives Soft Food - 24 Cans: My cat who's about 13 been getting sick for 2 weeks. I realized after looking at the bowl of left overs, tiny shards of wood/bone in it. He's been violently ill over this, feel rotten I didn't catch it sooner. I am angry beyond flaming pissed. I am boycotting 9 Lives for what I consider poisoning my cat. My little one hasn't touched it. The other food I was feeding him was 9 Lives Indoor Cat. I’m so absolutely raving pissed right now.

After buying your 16-lb dry cat food, I fed my 8 cats the following morning. They all ate the same amount as normal, but this time, 4 out of 8 "returned" my cat food to me. Several threw up on the carpet, and the stain is still there. It is not a small spot; it is about an 8" circle. I tried every carpet cleaner I could find, even tried OxiClean. Nothing worked. I cannot afford to replace carpeting. If one, or even two, cats got sick, it may have been a fluke. But 4 out of 8 leads me to believe that it was indeed the cat food. I will not be purchasing 9Lives cat food again. With 8 hungry cats, 9Lives lost a frequent customer.

I have an 8-month old kitten. He is an inside cat. I fed him 9 Lives and he has been sick ever since. That is the only thing he has eaten out of the ordinary. Is there something that can be done about this?

I purchased a four pack of 9Lives Tuna and Egg Bits with Sauce at a local Walmart. I dished it out for my cats when I noticed something in it that did not look like food. I pulled it out and found it was a bone. I spread the rest of the food out, and found more bones. I opened the second can and found the same. This is unacceptable. I am glad I have seen that one piece before I gave it to my four indoor cats. I just seen a couple other posts on the same thing from a year or two ago. I guess they don't care, since I just found the bones in May 2012. Unreal.

I purchased 24 cans of the tender slices in gravy and the product had no gravy in it. It was pretty much dried up. My cat is very picky at what she eats and only likes the tender slices with gravy. I hope that there is something you can do to resolve this problem for me. Thanks for your time.

9Lives wet cat food - A few days ago, I ran out of cat food. I was running late and missed the pet store before it closed so I decided to stop by the grocery store to tide him over until the next morning. I have never fed him 9Lives until that day. I came home from work the next evening to find him dead. Although he was 10, he was perfectly healthy so nothing about it made sense. That's when I did some research and found this site. I can't say for certain that it was the food that killed him, but after reading other posts on here, I think it was pretty likely. Hopefully, other people find out about this before it's too late.

We fed our 10-year-old cat 9 Lives canned food. She vomited that day and then refused to eat or drink for a full day. The next day, she would not leave her bed. After 24 hours, we took her to our vet; she had a fever and was dehydrated. They had to keep her for three days on fluids; she finally started to eat after being on antibiotics for the three days too. We brought her home, continued the antibiotics, and she has now recovered. The only thing new was the 9 Lives canned food; afterwards, we looked at the food closely. There were little bone shards or small pieces of plastic; it was hard to tell what it was. It was all throughout the can. We saved the other cans. I will be writing to 9 Lives about this.

I was scooping out some of the canned tuna with egg wet food (from the 4 packs) onto a plate for our cats when I noticed a piece of something that looked like plastic or a toothpick. So then I started moving around the food and I found another and another and another, they were all through the can of food! They had the texture of wood-like toothpicks. I'm no vet, but that seems quite dangerous for cats to be eating. I did not feed this can to my cats luckily, though it makes me nervous about what else they may have eaten in their 9Lives Cat Food before. I will not be buying 9Lives Cat Food ever again.

Both of my cats, aged 12 years, have suddenly become sick from the 9Lives Super Supper variety. Boogers, the weaker of the two, has been vomiting constantly and now has dry heaves. Something changed with the food because they've not had a problem until now. The cans are sold in a 4-pack with label number L506970.1.

I got my kitten a 4 pack of 9Lives cat food. I fed it to him for a few days and he got sick and died. At first, I didn't think it was the cat food just that the little guy got sick and died. But then I gave my mom the last cans I had for her small kittens that she has and she called me the next day saying the food made her kittens sick. Thank God they are okay, she stopped them from eating it and gave them lots of water and they are okay so far. My kitten had been eating it for days and that's why I think he died. It is a very sad thing and if something is wrong with 9Lives cat food, something needs to be done. That's why I am sending this complaint hoping the food will get tested or something before another poor kitten or cat dies.

Canned 9 lives "shredded with real turkey in gravy" - I switched over from Friskies because their latest "shredded" line was making my cats ill. I told my husband to give them 9 Lives Cat Food from now on. He made the mistake of buying a shredded can and giving them this 9 Lives' shredded can, and I woke up this morning to find throw ups all over the house and even my outside cat (a real chow hound) would not eat it. What do I have to do, switch to baby food? What are the manufacturers trying to feed our pets?

I bought a case of 9Lives canned food a few months ago and have been feeding it to my cat on occasion. Each time I have attempted to give her the Super Supper, she refuses to eat it which I thought was a fluke as she is typically a very aggressive eater. Yesterday, I gave her 1/2 can of the super supper and she barely ate any. My dog helped herself to some of it and she was up all night last night shaking and vomiting mucus. She is a Chihuahua-Dachshund mix. Today, she had diarrhea with slimy mucus in it. She won't eat anything and we have to force her to drink. I am very concerned about this and just checked, but didn't see the canned food on a recall list but wanted to let others know and to avoid buying the 9Lives product as I am certain there is something wrong with it.

What are you doing to your food? My two cats always ate it in the past, but with these last 12 cans they looked like they were going to throw up when I offered it to them. I set it outside for the strays, but they would not touch it. Maybe I just got a bad batch. I was going to contact you, but there’s no way on your website to do so. The ski number is 79100 31704 and it was fresh through 2014.

I have been feeding this cat food to my outside cats when I have been discovering large pieces of bone. I await the day I get a "beak" but will not be purchasing this product again. One of my cats is throwing up the product.

We bought 3 cans of 9lives tuna in sauce canned cat food (code TXS 1326T1) for our kitten. Every single can have sharp bones in it (not so little; about 1/2 inch to 2 inches). Of course, we did not feed any of these cans to our very young kitten. Three cans out of three—that's pretty bad. I hate to think what would have happened if she swallowed one of those sharp little bones. Thank goodness we were paying attention. After reading all of these other consumer complaints and our own experience, we will never buy 9lives again.

I have 5 cats in the house, they have always eaten 9Lives dry since 6 months old. The last 3 bags of food I have had trouble with them throwing up as soon as they eat. At first, only one of them. Now, all of them. I decided to get a different brand after 10 years because one of them has refused to eat after she threw up and had diarrhea for 3 days. She absolutely would not eat it anymore. I don't know what you are doing to your recipe for 9Lives dry but it isn't any good anymore.

On Thursday, my sneaky kitties got into the 9 Lives Cat Food we had on the shelf and ate a bunch of it. Friday, I came home from work to find no happy kitties waiting for me. After calling and calling, Havoc finally cried out for me, and I found him hiding in a box breathing funny, drooling and a runny nose. My other cat Harmony hid too, and it took me longer to find her. I took them both upstairs and made a bed for them to sleep in to keep them warm, constantly wiping boogers from their noses. Havoc, in a lot worse shape, was having a hard time standing and also had bloody feces. Saturday, just two sleepy kitties and raspy breathing, lots of drool too. Sunday, I came home to a dead Havoc, and still sick Harmony, she is finally drinking water, but still refuses to eat. Please get the word out about 9 Lives before you lose a family member.

I don’t know what the deal is but I bought this big bag of Nine Lives Cat Food and started noticing my cats having diarrhea. I pulled it up and put down different cat food (Kroger) and it went away. My boyfriend put it down again and the diarrhea is back. I'm throwing it all away and never will buy it again!

2005TP100609 - I have three cats, one is around 1 6 months, 1 and 3 months, and 1 and 1 month old. They all eat the same food with their own dishes. They are indoor/outdoor cats. They get baths and advantage put on every month on the dot. I recently switched from kitten food to cat food. They always have received your brand and I go through about 2 13.3 lbs. a month. The oldest one and the youngest one I had to bottle feed from around 2-3 weeks old. The middle one, I have had her since she was about 5-6 weeks old. And I had to nurse her back to health from a deathly state. I have never had any issues until now.

I always feed both of my cats high quality food which my vet recommends. But out of a time constraint I had to quickly buy a bag of 9 Lives. It's been 2 weeks or so and out of the blue one of them deteriorated over the day. He has been vomiting clear fluid and a few times I've found him with a mucous type fluid around his rear. I took him to the vet last night and he had a 105 fever. Unless they did blood tests (I can't afford $500), there is no way of knowing. So, they gave me antibiotic to treat him and filled his skin with fluid. He won't eat so I had no choice but to give him his meds without food. I'm so scared I'm going to lose him and I am certain it was 9 Lives! It's the only thing that has changed recently. Both of my cats are inside cats.

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.

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.

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

I have bought 9Lives 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.

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.

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).
