"I've been thinking my Kitty hasn't been feeling well lately. He's drinking a lot of water and eats very little after licking only the gravy in his cat food."

Same here, both of our cats have been throwing up and drinking a ton of water the last week. They won't eat their moist food and pick at their dry food. I switched to a different brand of dry food and it didn't make a difference.

Their wet food is "Fine Feline" from Aldi's at $0.23 a can. A good deal and a moist food they seemed to enjoy until recently.

I'll switch them to canned tuna until I can get them to the vet.

One estimate had the Menu Foods recall at 60 million cans!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear both your cats aren't well..

Ours eats the dry "Deli-Cat".

I'm going to buy some of that tuna packed in water..maybe even some canned chicken in water.

I hope to God we haven't been giving our Cats kidney failure.

MG, please don't do that - there are trace mercury levels in tuna that can be fatal to a cat if given as a "daily" food. It's ok every once in a while, but not as the staple.

Please, please, please get your cats to the vet ASAP. As oprahstheantichrist mentioned, the vomiting is very troubling, especially if it's been more than a day.

Don`t overdo it with the tuna because of the mercury content. If the mercury content in canned tuna is high enough to harm people, I hate to think of what it would do to a small cat.

Here is a link about the dangers of tuna for cats.

I don`t feed my cat any food containing tuna, or any other seafood. Cats may love fish, but seafood isn`t a part of their natural diet in the wild.
