I’ve had two indoor cats for about 6 years, and they both ate meow mix their entire life. One of hem died on Tuesday, and the other one has thrown up twice today, and I’m worried that she might have some problems too. Have they changed their formula recently?

I was feeding my three cats meow mix dry and wet foods for seven years. They liked the taste. One cat started losing weight when she was around 3 1/2 years old. I’ve spent so much on vets. Another vomit often. The third had dirty bottom all the time. I recently changed their dry to Petsmart’s Authority and Trader Joe’s wet food. The change in my cats have been amazing. The thin cat has went from 7 lbs to 10 lbs in the last two months. The one that was vomiting has stopped, and her fur is already looking better. Her flaky dry skin has cleared up. My huge cat that was 26 lbs has dropped to 21 lbs. and now has a clean bottom. Meow mix cost me so much in vet bills. I hope it’s not too late for my cats to completely recover.

It is true I have myself pulled all products that are made by Meow Mix and have discoursed any other issues with this cause with the exception of there products I have ran many in lab tests and have found that 81.3% of ailments found to have been a direct result in of ingesting meow mix cat foods and treats ’28 felines to date 2/10/11 have died as a result. A Clinical review has been sent to the FDA along with all stores in the US and Cannda to issue a Complete Recall of all of there products until a Fedral review can take place. My complete findings will be avaliable for the public at the FDA.gov web page.

I have fed both of my cats Meow Mix and I never thought anything of their vomiting. They both vomited at least once or twice a week. My first cat had problems with vomiting, urinary tract infections, and finally died of cancer. My other cat vomited a lot also and I just thought that it was normal for cats to vomit now and then. My cat that I have now is now have urinary problems with blood in her pee. That many things wrong with two cats just isn’t normal. Meow Mix is horrible!

I have two cats. Both are indoor cats only. They were very healthy until I started feeding them Meow Mix indoor formula. I tried the hairball control as well as the original formula and after a few weeks they both developed diarrhea that was very severe, and one started vomiting regularly. I recently switched to Cat Chow Indoor Formula and within a week the diarrhea and vomiting has stopped completely. I am not saying this cat food is bad but if you’re feeding it to your cats they need to be closely monitored for problems.

While Meow Mix has some nasty ingredients, your cat is probably throwing up because you switched the food on them.

My vet told me that new food should be introduced slowly and into their regular feeding routine or they can get extremely sick. Cats have sensitive stomachs and a random shock of new ingredients (especially all the byproducts in Meow Mix) will cause them to vomit it up until they build up a tolerance.

I mean how would you feel if you were eating gourmet food every day and then suddenly you had to eat a Mcdonalds burger? Pretty cruddy.

But if you ate Mcdonalds burgers all the time (like some do), then you don’t notice it! (Similarity, Mcdonalds burgers are as unhealthy to humans as Meow Mix is to cats )

I work long hours and went to walgreens to purchas Meow Mix dry cat food because it was convenient. My cat ate a bag and nothing happened so I continued to buy more. He started throwing up after I started the second bag. I took him to the vet and he prescribed him medications to stop the vomiting, a medication to absorb toxins, and an antibiotic. The only thing that I can think of that changed and could have cause him to get so sick was the change to Meow Mix cat food. So I googled “meow mix vomiting” and read all of your comments. I’m going to change his food right now. (He continues to vomit even with all the medications, and I have taken him to my dads house to get him away from anything that may have been in my apartment. He used to live at my dad’s house and was fine so once again the only thing I have left to think could be causing this is the Meow Mix dry food) Thank you all for posting your similar stories, it really helped me out.

Seriously? If Meow Mix were as bad as some of you are claiming the brand would have been discontinued a long, long time ago. For people who claim that “corn” is a zillion percent of the ingredients, read the label! It’s about 30% protein and 12% fat, that’s at least 42% that is not corn. Now if your cat has a corn allergy then any cat food with corn in it will make it sick.

Over the years we’ve had many cats and fed them all Meow Mix because a) they all liked it and b) they were all generally healthy while eating it. Of course cats do get sick but if you cat is fine and suddenly dies one day it’s not the cat food! If you have doubts ask your vet.

I have a normal, healthy 6 yr old cat who started vomiting. I did a process of elimination of 3 differnt foods I was “blending” only because I had some I misplaced and found, purchased because I forgot had some, etc. When we first aquired the cat I fed him Meow Mix and he seemed fine. Then went to IAMS for fur ball control, the other blended was Whiska’s. After reading these blogs, I am stopping and tossing out the Meow Mix asap. I’ll post later with results for those interested in knowing if stopping Meow Mix was the problem.

Meow Mix is awful food. I had been feeding it to Graham for 4 years and he loved it. Now he has diabetes, which the vet thinks is largely to do with all the grain that they put in it. Swichted him to Orijens, which is 75% protein and no grain and he is doing so much better. I wish I had know I was poisoning my cat before it was too late- don’t feed your cats Meow Mix!!!!
