I realize all kinds of gross stuff goes into wet cat food, but they’ve started using pig lungs in the chicken flavors made by Hills Science Diet.

In the prescription formula the company straight up told me that they’ll change the ingredients whenever they feel like it if it’s best for their company. They don’t list pig lungs but whatever they started putting in it at the beginning of 2025 made cats not want to eat it.

They do list pig lungs an ingredient in the regular OTC foods. Maybe I’m overreacting by thinking this is really gross, at a time when livestock is being culled for having respiratory diseases, I don’t want my cat eating diseased meat at all, but definitely not lungs.

Y’all if you eat sausage from corporate meat processors, you should read the ingredients list carefully. Don’t eat pig’s lungs. Don’t become patient 0 for our next pandemic.

I bought some #hillssciencediet k/d canned food, both the large cans with #pate texture in chicken flavor and the single serving cans in chicken with veggies. She ate one can of the single serve a bit reluctantly, licked the second before turning up her nose at it, and left the paté from the big can to just dry up rather than eat it. She made an attempt at the tuna flavor but then gave up on it.

I bought a bag of #hillssciencediet dry #catfood k/d, which she nibbled a bit but when I mixed it with her usual food, the #cat ate around the Hills pieces.

#Pets food is big business. In 2018, pet owners in the USA alone spent over thirty-billion dollars on food for their animal companions.
