well, the last time i checked it was still listed as an ingredient in the
Iams Senior that my lovely great lump of a cat eats, but i just checked and
it isn't now.  it says "chicken fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols and
citric acid)" though.  is ethoxyquin a tocopherol?  or have they changed
the ingredients?  anyone?
