Thank you for the kind responses to my message.  I have been thinking about what "Davis" said - about getting the food tested & maybe saving other lives.  According to someone at Purina in St. Louis - the Purina dry dog & cat food "have had no issues".  That's not really the response I wanted to hear.  A resounding "we have tested & re-tested & all of our foods are safe" or "we never purchased wheat gluten from the suspect company" was more what I was looking for.  Does the fact that there are "no issues" mean the food is safe - or that it just hasn't shown up in the death count yet?  I gues I need to get it tested - but I'm not sure how to proceed.  Any suggestions?
Thanks
Kathy

Hello -
I feel the need to tell about my baby.  His name was Mister Mistoffolees, he was 17.5 yrs old & my last kitty companion.  I had to have him put down on March 26th - 2 weeks after purchasing a new bag of dry food.  Massive kidney failure - no prior symptoms.  His food is not on the recall list - it DOES contain wheat gluten.  Sometimes - I just don't know what to do.  I feel that I should have it tested - but nothing will bring him back.  I miss him so much.  Thanks - I just needed to tell his story.
