If you do sue and win, you can look forward to paying a lot more for cat food in the future, thus paying yourself damages.

You also would not have the law on your side, ref. previous "property" law regarding pets, and may need to prove that the renal failure was caused by the batch of food, not just that you have some on hand.

I would bet that the whole thing will be settled by some lawyers getting a chunk of money and pet owners getting some type of rebate or discount coupons. I would also wager that additional pets will be killed intentionally by people trying to cash in on this.

Did to her kids??!!! Did her kids eat the food? I don't think this has anything to do with the law. What would she have told her kids if the cat had died due to some progressive but treatable disease because she never took him to the vet?

She neglected the kitty's health for 9 years and now that he is dead he has become oh-so-important to her. If there are rabies immunization laws in her town she was certainly in violation of those. Should the town sue her for back immunization fees?

I'm not buying it. How is she going to prove the cat didn't have a pre-existing kidney condition if she never took him to the vet? We have only her word the cat was healthy.

She probably sees big fat dollar signs since major manufacturers of pet food are involved but it's a long way from the court room to her pocket.
