I don't know where they are getting their numbers

but it's way more than 16... is that counting the 7 that died from their own testing in January? I know of one cat owner here ... but haven't begun to ask around or at the vets.
This is a tragedy. If I didn't know better (and I do) I would say this is terrorism. Our pets are a heartful but soft target. Of course it happened when they changed factories... but it wasn't done overnight or in secret you know? Rat poison in the wheat... I guess that means the wheat is grown in a 3rd world country that has no rules?

Sorry I rant.
