Recently there's been an Orijen scare. Apaprently in a country not so far away from us (Australia), there were ard 5 cats which showed similar symptoms of having paralysis and having to be euthanized. The link between all the cats were that they all consumed Orijen cat food. lol. The blame has been placed on the Australian government for setting the regulation that Orijen cat food has to be irradiated (at a pretty high exposure) due to its food being processed at a lower temperature.
How does this concern me? or you (it probably doesn't concern u. lol)?
Well.
Chi is a picky eater :) Having been hand-fed and pampered since young, she's grown to be a picky eater who likes canned wet food and doesn't exactly like the dry. lol. attempts at mixing dry food with wet has only brought about a bowl of leftover wet dry food.
So imagine my joy and delight when upon feeding Chi dry food from the trial pack of Orijen (which costs me $8++ for a 400g pack -- usually it costs $3 for a 400g pack for other brands), Chi loves it! hahahaa. in fact, she prefers it even over the premium canned salmon thing that i'll buy to pamper. yay.
so it's only natural that the australian scare is of concern to me O.o i don't want chi to suddenly stop moving :\ lol
but upon further research, it seems that there should be no problem in singapore. so i'm back to buying Orijen (also 'cos it's cheaper than buying 24 cans of wet food and finishing them within a few days O.o) =D
