FDA contacts Busho about cat death, pet food link
By ROY MILLER

Kori Busho got the feeling everyone thought she was crazy this week after she reported that her cat died and wondered if it was connected to the pet food recall.Busho, a Baxter resident, said Fluffy had been eating dry food the two years of its life before it was found dead Tuesday under the family's deck.She said the cat had been acting strange for a few days. Then Busho noticed the widespread reports of the pet food recall because of animal deaths.Over the weekend, news surfaced that several pets around the nation had died after eating certain wet pet food. Wednesday's Dispatch carried a story on the Busho cat, noting that it had been eating dry food.Now there are indications that the investigation may be broadened to include dry food.

Busho said she received a call Thursday afternoon from the Food and Drug Administration office in Rapid City, S.D., asking about the death of the Baxter cat. An FDA spokesperson told Busho that a Sioux Falls, S.D., man's cat suffered apparent kidney failure after eating the same food as FluffyBusho said there were scores of calls on a FOX9 chat line on the Internet on Wednesday night. A veterinarian from Woodbury was fielding the calls. Still, most of the media reports through Thursday morning said the investigation was for wet food only."People thought I was crazy," said Busho, an administrative assistant in the Business and Industry Center at Central Lakes College. "But now I've received this call from the FDA. And they said they wouldn't be spending all this energy on this if they didn't think there was a chance the dry food would be involved, too."Late Thursday afternoon, a spokesperson for the FDA in Washington said the office had no additional information.He said the FDA "continues to work around the clock on this recall to find the source of the problem."A FDA Web site reports that Menu Food, Inc., a private-label pet food manufacturer based in Ontario, was recalling its "cuts and gravy" style dog and cat food produced at an Emporia, Kan., plant between Dec. 3 and March 6.As of Saturday, the firm reported 14 animal deaths to the FDA. No update was available on the death toll.The FDA official said someone from the agency would be picking up food samples from the Baxter home, Busho said.
