I got a very sad email from a lady.. one of my kittens she got (Simon) has passed away. He was just 1 year old. He had a heart attack on the operating table. He was having surgery for a urinary blockage (?) the vet did a necropsy and found he had hypotrophic cardio myopathy. His heart had thickened and couldn't function properly.. this according to my vet is cause by a vitamin/mineral deficiency., and is only found in very old cat's.. so not sure her vet gave her the right info.. could be just covering his own butt!! She had been feeding him Blue Buffalo kitten ( not cheap) but it has had several recalls in the past few years.. so please stay away from Blue Buffalo if you have your kids on it..yet one more "GREAT " food to NOT feed your baby!

Aw Arlene...That IS very sad news. That poor woman to loose her baby that way. I didn't know they would preform surgery over something like that! We're sticking to 'Chicken Soup for the Soul"

Wow, that is sad.
Still, something doesn't sound right. How can a one year old cat get heart disease from poor nutrition, and how can a high end cat food product be THAT lacking in vitamins and minerals? Feral cats do just fine eating garbage...

I agree Dan, this whole thing just doesn't sound right to me..
