This month issue of Cat Fancy magazine had an article about raw meat for your cat and salmonella. FDA warned against it not because cats will get sick but rather people could get the salmonella indirectly from the cat.

According to the article, cat's saliva has the ability to kill most of the salmonella on contact and what survivies don't make it out alive. Cat seems to be very tolerant of salmonella and people are less tolerant, especially the young and the old. And since cats like to lick you and lick themsleves, it is possible for the surviving salmonella to end up on your cloth, on your skin and maybe even in your food. Hence the FDA warning.

Our cats get wellness. Dogs gets the California Natural (low calorie). One thing to watch out with California Natural and other high protein food is that it can go rancid in hot weather. It can also grow a toxic mold, which looks like a white flecks on the dry food. If you see it, take it back to the store and have them look at it or have a vet look at it. We've returned one bag of California Natural to the store. But this is one bag out of ???
