It seems to be mainly the hypoallergenic ones but I think I'd be ordering raw food or giving them human food if I had a cat!

Details here. But as they don't seem to know what is causing it I'd be cautious what you use. Whatever it is that's in the food is causing pancytopenia. A blood disease apparently.

Advice from a cat doctor here Wet foods are ok (as mentioned above) - but check any packets of dried food as per the article.

Thank you so much for this! My cat has been off his food for the last few months actually and we've been trying to find different brands to get him to want to eat. We assumed he's getting bored of the same brand (we usually feed our cats the fish or meat type felix packs or the sheba brands) so it's good that I spotted this forum as soon as I did as we was planning to try another brand!!
