Cat food recall update

You know, many things frustrate me, but none like a news organization alluding to a very important story for almost an hour and not divulging information. Thus is the case of the latest developments on the cat food recall. I had caught that there had been developments in the potential cause(s) of the illnesses and deaths. What I hadn't caught was that the recall had been expanded. So when I'd heard that it had, I was watching CNN, who, for at least half an hour, kept mentioning that it had been expanded, but didn't mention to what dry food. This became very frustrating, to which I spent the time to boot up my computer (which takes a while to boot up as I have a lot that loads) to look into it online. I found contradictory information on the company's website ( http://www.menufoods.com/recall ). I finally was able to find out that it is Science Diet Prescription Dry Cat food. This was scary for me because I was supposed to take Nimbus to a normal vet to get him on prescription cat food after his crystal blockage last year. But I called the vet hospital that treated him, and not only did she remember the furball once I described the lard@ss, she said she feeds her cat the same stuff I am feeding mine without any problems (Purina One Urinary Tract Formula), and that if there were to be any issues with the food as concerns this recall's problems, I'd see the effects quite quickly. And since they've been eating out of this 18 lb bag of cat food for at least couple weeks now, we're in the clear. So I consider myself lucky that I have good access to decently priced good cat food and great veterinary services available anytime not too far away. I cannot imagine what must be going through so many cat and dog owners' heads who have lost their beloved pets possibly due to this food. I hope this is resolved soon and we learn a couple valuable lessons from this - namely, less foreign dependence and stricter inspection and quality control of our food supply - both for humans and animals.
