The Food Bowl - For Pets and Their People

Beloved First Family Pet Passes On

Bush Gives His Last State Of The Union Address

It’s always so sad when a pet dies. The Bush family is mourning the death of their beloved black cat, India, this week.

The 18 year-old (wow!) female cat died Sunday at the White House.

“The President, Mrs. Bush, Barbara, and Jenna are deeply saddened by the passing of their cat India,” the office of First Lady Laura Bush said in a statement on the White House Web site.

“India was a beloved member of the Bush family for almost two decades. She will be greatly missed.”

At 9 years old, the Bush girls named the cat “India” after Ruben Sierra, a former major league baseball player whose nickname was “El Indio.” The Bush family have two other pets, Barney and Miss Beazley, both Scottish Terriers.

Pet Food Recall: Solid Gold Dog Food

Solid Gold brand pet food has issued a voluntary recall for their 13.2 oz Turkey, Ocean Fish, Carrot, & Sweet Potatoes Formula canned dog food.

The can has a purple label with a pull top lid and the date on bottom of the can reads 01/02/2010.

The recall is said to be due to several cases of consumers finding mold upon opening.

Turkey, Ocean Fish, Carrot & Sweet Potato cans without a pull top are not affected. The affected batch was not shipped to Arizona, California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Hawaii, or Alaska.

The company asks that any affected cans be returned for a refund.

Update on Sparta, The Mean Kitty

Remember Sparta, the freaking adorable kitten from The Mean Kitty Song?

His owner, “Mr. Safety” of SMP Films, has posted an update (above) about the quirky kitty and how he’ll only eat his food out of the sink, sleeps on the back of the toilet, and enjoys a good spanking now and then. Seriously.

Sparta now has his own page on Youtube where you can also see Mean Kitty, Creature of the Night, meet Loki, and a three part series on How to Annoy Your Mean Kitty. The kids have already tried the receipt trick on our playful cat, who entertained us pretty well for a few minutes!
