I wondered about this one (7th ingredient) too, Motmorillonite Clay  :o

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montmorillonite

Quote
Montmorillonite is the main constituent of the volcanic ash weathering product, bentonite.

Montmorillonite is used in the oil drilling industry as a component of drilling mud, ...Similar to many other clays, montmorillonite swells with the addition of water....The presence of sodium as the predominant exchangeable cation can result in the clay swelling to several times its original volume....Sodium montmorillonite is also used as the base of some cat litter products, due to its adsorbent and clumping properties
.

There are very few true 100% Montmorillonite clays.  Some Montmorillonite properties are found in different percentages in most clays. It has become a buzz word by association. It is often found in your Bentonites but also in Illites, Kaolins and Chlorites as well, all to different degrees.  [/size]

Kinda OT but what's with these foods (in general now) that state "Low Carbohydrate" and avoid putting the actual %?, (along with alllll the other stats in the analysis?)  If they can state "Low" they ought to know just how low.  Doh1

Good grief. Hopefully it cost's too much for anyone to actually buy it and feed it to their cats.

Is this food for obese cats perhaps? Are they using Motmorillonite Clay to make cats feel fuller? If so that seems like a horrible thing to use!!!!

Just a comment on the clay thing, I know PEOPLE who eat it. I knew kids who brought it to school with them and munched on it during class. I don't remember all the details but they baked it in the over to sterilize it and said something about mineral content. I am not advocating it in a pet food, I just thought that was an interesting little factoid.
