Cat #1-3 year old female currently hospitalized for acute liver failure. Blood levels also indicate hyperthyroidism. The ONLY change to her diet and/or environment is Friskies Natural dry cat food and Friskies Farm Fresh cat food. She better survive this Purina!!! Cat #2- 2year old male began vomiting yesterday after eating Friskies Natural dry cat food. I HAVE REMOVED ALL PURINA FRISKIES FOOD FROM MY HOUSE! Not going to take ANY chances because they cannot be trusted!

Cat #3- 2 year old female. Vomiting after EVERY single meal containing Friskies products. This has been occurring for more than 3 months. Now I know why. Friskies cat food is poison!!! Avoid this product at all cost!!! If this is all you can afford, I'm sorry. Please reconsider owning a pet.

We have used Purina One sensitive skin and stomach cat food for about 2 years now. We have a lot of cats, some of which never interact or share litter boxes with others. Only thing they all have in common is this food. Within the last week, 11 of our cats have been having projectile vomiting and/or diarrhea after eating. Again, only thing they share in common is this food! I believe they have salmonella poisoning as another Purina brand has been recalled this year due to it.

    BUGS in the Beggin' Strips! Nasty! Gross! Unacceptable! I thought I was purchasing a quality product from a well-known company that's been around for decades! I gave a few to my dogs before I saw the BUGS. Which means I touched these pieces of crap! NEVER again!

    I've been feeding this food for years. Now, all of a sudden, my 6 cats will vomit after eating Purina One. I've had to return 2 bags to Wal-Mart now. No more. Irresponsible Purina and their incompetent factory workers are not going to kill my cats. I fed them Iams this morning with no issues and no vomiting. Thanks a lot Purina for letting us down. CLEAN UP YOUR ACT, PURINA. YOUR ENTIRE REPUTATION IS, ONCE AGAIN, AT STAKE!

    I have used Purina One cat food for years but the last bag I purchased had larvae in it. I found these things were hatching inside the bag. My cats had recently started throwing up and that's what made me examine the bag more closely.

    I have used Purina One hairball formula for years. I recently noticed sewer flies in the area so after a thorough cleaning I thought it would be a good idea to pour the food into an airtight container. As soon as I opened the bag these little black moths were flying out! I then went to the pet store to buy more food and the salesperson told me that they had many complaints about moths in Purina One. I also came here and saw other people had posted. I will never buy Purina One again, I can only imagine what their mfg plant looks like. So sad they obviously don't care.

    After purchasing (24 count) 4 pallets of Fancy feast salmon pate, my cat began to lose weight, not eat and became lethargic. I took him to our veterinarian and he had high levels of calcium. The vet asked if I have been giving him supplements and I said no. Excess vitamin D can cause high levels of calcium. I decided to take him off of the Fancy feast and would give him anything he would eat at this point - Meow mix, not the best, but he eats it up. Amazingly he is 99% better and gaining weight back. Today I take him for his follow up appt and bloodwork. If his calcium levels are normal, then Purina should take this into consideration - you may have too much vitamin D in it.

    I feed Gravy Lovers as a method to give my cats their daily **. It is the only reason they get it at all. Today I found a long white larva in the can. I tossed the whole can. Now I am concerned about the other cans in that case. I emailed Purina and sent them photos.

    We had to take run our cat to the Gainesville Emergency animal clinic. She stopped eating, throwing up and was totally lethargic, we thought she was going to die. We spent over $1000 and ended up bringing her home with special food. Slowly she started getting better. We then got two more cats and bought expensive food for the kitten and better food for the stray. Later we switched to Friskies pate food for all of them. The cats got diarrhea and started throwing up. We thought they caught something and took them to the vet. Hundreds of dollars later, the cats were still throwing up and one had horrible diarrhea. Back to the vet. We somehow looked up friskies pate on the web and consumers affairs. To our horror, a LOT of people were having this problem and purina knows about it.

    They do nothing except say it is not true. Also, it is just not the pate food, but other food as well. I wish we could all sue Purina for all the pain they have caused everyone with some even losing their pets. We have switched away from Purina and the cats are fine, no more throw up, diarrhea and refusing to eat. We will never buy Purina again in any form, maybe they can take their big profit and pay us all back for our expensive vet bills and losing our pets. What a loser company.

    Since the new 'improved' recipe I have had to take my cat off AGaiL, Soups and dried food. It was giving all 3 of my cats diarrhea and sickness. As soon as I stopped they improved. So annoying as they only like gravy and few other options especially with the meat texture.
