My cat died of kidney failure early 2005 and was wondering if it had anything to do with the Chinese food adulteration scare that began on 2007.
Does anyone know when the earliest case of possible melamine contamination in pet food in North America was?
I understand that the recall began on 2007, but when is the earliest time a contamination was documented?

From a news article: "Menu Foods last week recalled "cuts and gravy" style dog and cat food. The recall sparked concern among pet owners across North America. It includes food sold under store brands carried by Wal-Mart, Kroger, Safeway and other large retailers, as well as private labels such as Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba."

I want to feed my cat high-quality cat food. But this recall has given me the feeling that they are making the same food and slapping different labels on them. Am I wrong to think this?
