Lucky The Cat Falls 26 Stories & Lives

Cats are such amazing creatures, but there not always this lucky.  Lucky the cat fell 26 stories and survived.  It started when he got into a room with an open window and squeezed out onto the ledge.  Window washers on a nearby building spotted him and snapped 3 pictures—Lucky on the ledge, Lucky falling, and Lucky walking around on the balcony 26 floors down.  Wow!

Cats don’t have good judgment about heights and they can & do fall.  It’s common enough to have a name—High-Rise Syndrome.

Nutro Recalls Cat Food, Finally

nutro

Sadly, this Nutro recall was a long time coming—complaints against Nutro actually started 2 yrs. ago. The FDA announced Nutro is recalling 7 different flavors of dry cat food in all sizes.  Tests show “incorrect levels” of zinc and potasium.  Check the list of the recalled food. And the FDA now has photos of the packaging to make it easier to identify affected varieties.

Complaints have included dog food and I wonder if more Nutro recalls are on the way.
