I was at the pet food store yesterday looking at the different kinds of food they offered.
The store had a house brand of cat food so I checked the ingredients to see if it was any good. I don't remember the exact list, but it went something like:
- wheat
- corn gluten meal
- some other corn-based ingredient
- rice (I think. or some other grain)
- chicken by-product meal
etc.
I knew cheap dry cat food was bad... but I've never seen anything like it. The only thing close to being meat was the 5th ingredient!
I wonder how something like that can be considered to meet the nutritional requirements for cat food. Aren't there any regulations regarding cat food?
I'm thinking that maybe it was a typo and it meant to say "cattle food" on the bag instead of "cat food".
