04/20/07 6:30 PM PDT UPDATE: Lilly Lu is home! She still needs to start eating, and will go back to the vet if she doesn't, but at least she can watch the sox game, and be home for her gotcha day (that is tomorrow)!Lilly Lu is very sick (you can get details at Mu Shue's blog), and Mamma Laura is racking up some very large vet bills. So, I'm dubbing this Talking Thursday for Lilly Lu. I want all of you to talk in the form of comments to this post. I'll donate 50 cents a comment to Lilly Lu's vet bills, through midnight (PDT) Friday April 20, up to $50.00. Leave thoughts for Lilly Lu, and I'll collect them into a card to send to the family.
All of us Pink Ladies are showing our support and love, this post is Pink, Lilly's favorite color.
I've posted many times on the cat food recall, how nervous Mom and I have been on finding good, healthy food. To think one of our sweet friends may go to the bridge because of tainted food makes me so, so, mad! But also frustrated, our beans love us and want to do the best for us. They thought the food they fed us was safe and healthy. To think a bean could actually poison a much loved family member is beyond comprehension.
4/19/07 7:30 pm PDT Update: It looks like it is not the food (thank goodness), but her liver. She is doing a bit better, but there is a long way to go. Check Mu Shue'sblog for an update. Still doesn't make me any happier with the pet food companies. The recall expanded exponentially today to include several brands with rice protein. More info can be found here. Dad is down at the store buying me fresh salmon right now....

Tara, that is a wonderful thing you and your humans are doing! :) You are very caring and compassionate.
I am sending healing purrs Lilly Lu's way, and keeping her in my prayers.
What a wonderful thing you are doing to help Lilly Lu and her family. It makes me shudder to think that we can't even trust anything we feed our Kitty Cats. Who ever is responsible needs to pay, for everything they have caused. I am so angry, and I will say it again, Death Penalty for anyone, company or not, who abuses animals. This is abuse in corporate disquise.

This is a great thing you are doing for Lilly Lu. We couldn't figure out how to turn our blog pink, but we put up her pink picture so we hope that counts.
Oh hello Tara! We'd have Chey come by too but she can't cause she doesn't have a blogger account to comment from!
I've got my whole cat staff lined up to comment, because Lilly Lu is my BEST friend and my Internet IM buddy. And my staff is brainstorming to see what else we can do. We love you, Lilly!!

I'm the big bad mancat security manager here at Artsy Catsy and, Lilly, if it was cat food that made you sick, somebody's gonna get arrested!

What a nice thing to do for momma Laura. We went pink for Lilly Lu and haf been purring and purraying furry hard fur her to get well. We all wanna go and put da bitey on Menu Foods. They put money afore our safety and should be put out of business. We should find out what else they sell to earn a buck and not buy it.
We are all thinking of Lilly Lu. I think all of our beans are worried about the food recall issues. That is why mum was so worried last month when I was having my digestive issues. It is scary as thing keep coming up.
We love Lilly Lu!!

Ann, Tocchet, Lemieux and Ariel
Serious happy purrs to you Tara, this is a very sweet thing you are doing. And about the food thing, there are no words I am allowed to say that describe how I feel about innocent animals suffering and dying for $$$$$'s. Hisssssss...
