Just want to start off by saying that I free feed our cats dry food (Eagle Pack) and give them canned food twice a day.
I know that many of you think Nine Lives is the worst canned food on the planet, but I've tried every kind of canned food I could find and Nine Lives is ALL they'll touch...so please, no commentary about how bad Nine Lives is.
Anyway, yesterday I went to the store to get more canned food...I buy the big package with 24 cans in it...they were out, so I just got a 4 pack...Chicken in Gravey.
I just opened one of the cans and it looked like pencil erasers all over the top of the can on top of the chicken..second can the same, third can the same, forth can the same.
I don't eat chicken myself...I'm allergic...but I am aware that the meat close to the bone will have a sort of red color to it.
What I saw MAY have been chicken taken close to the bone, but what threw me was that these "things" were perfectly round...not only did they have the color of erasers, they were shaped like erasers.
When I crushed them between my fingers they didn't feel like chicken...they felt really grainy..frankly, like an eraser.
I'm not saying that's what they were ( can't figure out how erasers would get into cat food), but I honestly don't think it was chicken either.
I called Nine Lives and explained to the Man what I found.
He was very nice and told me that it probably was chicken, but with all that went on last year with the pet food, he wouldn't have fed it to his cats either.
They're going to look into it...I gave him the code off the bottom of the can..and are sending my coupons.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up if you do feed your cats Nine Lives Chicken in Gravey and the cans have the code BC5M13 A2 TSC 0515 with a sell by date of Dec. 13, 08 you may want to check them for strange round red things mixed in with the food.
Like I said, it very well may have been chicken but I wasn't going to take any chances when it comes to my furbabies.
