My cats are fed a dry diet which i get from the vets and it is freely available for them all day.
However, at about 10pm they get a (well known brand) meat sachet/pouch shared between them both. As i go to the shop every other day for fags and wine , i only ever buy a few at a time so they don't sit about the house for ages. Anyway, last night i picked up a pouch and thought that it felt very light. I noticed the smell first and then that the end wasn't sealed, and inside was a lovely, lively family of maggots. A few had escaped onto the table, and onto another pouch and also my bunny hotwater bottle had a 'cooked' one in it.
I scooped up the escapees and tried to get them back into the pouch. (no good putting them down the plug hole as in my experience, at work, they just come back up!)
So decontamination proceeded, including my bed - didnt find any there thank God, but the whole of the kitchen was sprayed with super 'evil, bad for the environment' spray.
The pouch was wrapped in several layers of cling film, then sealed in two bags and then put in an airtight container. Which was then sprayed with the evil spray and again put in another sealed back (taking no chances)
Had to banish the cats to the bedroom as the spray is toxic to them, then sit with the window open and the extractor fan on for 2 hours at 11pm last night This gave me time to think about my letter of complaint. However i phoned the maker's customer service helpline and got a very nice lady who said she would take the details. Of course i then had to unwrap several layers of protection to read the code numbers on the packet. again. Free vouchers coming my way me thinks
However, i dreamt about maggots and a couple of free sachets isn't going to make up for the sick feeling and searching on my hands and knees for the little buggers in case i missed one.
Put me off my glass of wine

I don't mind maggots as I go fishing, but I don't like them loos in the house, had some crawl out of the fridge once
I think you should keep gold fish, if you get any maggot in there food then will eat them for you

i think the worse thing was the cooked one that had climbed in my bunny cover and got stuck in the hot water bottle ridges and died. The thought of it having escaped into the bed
Since there were only a few that escaped then i was lucky, but the thought of them getting any where near my bed...
Just as well i have fallen asleep on the sofa for the last two nights and never used bunny bottle
I have just been to the shop and warned 2 members of staff about it, they pulled a face and went oh right. They should have taken a report, i wasn't moaning at them or asking for a refund, just informing them so they can check stocks. Still, thats what that supermarket (and i use the term lightly) is like, my branch anyway. No Co-Op eration! *wonders if that bit will get modded*
I used to have to pick maggots from rabbits bums that had been half eaten, that i can deal with but, NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!!!

manda1111 Posted Nov 12, 2003
Is that rabbits bums that had been half eaten or the maggot that had been half eaten
Intern
never gone that far, always think of were they would go if I swolowed them,
might land up with a nurse picking them out of my bum half eaten

the flies would lay eggs on dirty rabbit bums that didnt have the cages cleaned out often enough and then the eggs hatch and maggots eat into the rabbit.
They often die, as by the time the owner notices they have reached internal organs, or the bunny goes into shock and dies.
Very nasty.

Mort, that's disgusting. Maybe you shouldn't feed your cats in your bed?
I hope that you fed the maggots to the in the end.

Mort - a middle aged Girl Interrupted Posted Nov 12, 2003
I don't feed the cats on the bed but they choose to be sick there! And one maggot had sneaked into the hotwater bottle cover while it was on the table next to the unopened (or so i thought) cat food.
Cats are very clever about where they vomit. Spiggy did it in my ex's Parra boot once. He noticed when he put it on
