I suspect the cat that allegedly contracted avian flu from a raw pet food actually got it from contact with waterfowl on her outdoor adventures. Per the pet owner and medical records, this cat was NOT strictly indoors! I personally applaud the cat owner for providing her cat with a naturally enriched life, where she could explore the great outdoors, in what everyone thought was a safe manner. It is tragic that she contracted this disease, but basic science and commonsense suggest she was more likely exposed when outdoors than from a pet food produced in a USDA inspected plant from USDA passed human quality ingredients.

Reckless regulatory marketing stokes fear of raw pet food.

Now this takes the cake! If you are worried about the positive test for bird flu in Northwest Naturals cat food, take a breath. The testing was performed on an open package of the product! Not only is this contrary to law, it is contrary to common sense! There is no way to know from where the virus came. The proper procedure would be to test an unopened package fro, the same lot number.

Sad to hear this, as Tiki was one of the brands I recommended to cat owners. Not now.
