Tiki Cat Gourmet Whole Food 12-Pack King Kamehameha Luau 9-Flavor Variety Pack Pet Food

Yes- this cat food is pricey. It’s also ‘gourmet’. You don’t always get what you pay for in quality with pet foods. Sometimes the most expensive foods are comprised of the same basic ingredients as much more affordable brands. They often look, smell, and (yes) taste the same. But Tiki Cat stands apart for an array of reasons. This company is obviously dedicated to providing the highest quality food for your pet and it shows through before you even open the can. Most other cat foods are comprised of a lot of animal by-products, ‘additional flavors’, and grain fillers. Tiki Cat’s food is NOT. This food is made of wholesome ingredients. No matter which flavor you’re choosing to feed your cat when you look at the ingredients list the major components of the food are actual, real, meat and fish. And actual- real meat and fish is the healthiest thing you can feed your carnivorous felines.Once you open the can the quality is exactly as you’d expect. If you open the can of tuna it isn’t a lump of discolored pink stuff. It’s actual flakey tuna. Sardines have sardines in them. Lobster clearly has little bits of lobster. And chicken is tender, small, chicken bits ideal for even the pickiest of cats. There is no thick ‘gravy’ with this food (mostly comprised of some form of grain). Instead the cans are filled with just a little bit of water, natural oils from the meat, and a little bit of fat, that helps create an aux natural gravy to go with each food item. The cans of food actually SMELL like food. The chicken smells like chicken. The shrimp smells like shrimp. There’s no question of the ingredients inside, because each can actually smells like what it’s supposed to.But what about the taste? The most important thing is the taste! I have four cats. Magpie, my 17-year-old old lady is the pickiest eater. With that being said her ALL TIME favorite food is Tiki Cat’s Mackerel and Sardine In Calamari Consommé. I wish I could find a set of JUST that specific food on Amazon, because it’s one food that she’ll actually sit and finish the entire can of. As for my other three cats, Minnie Mag, Toby, and Ozzy- none of them are too picky, but they’re never super excited about any food I give them… unless it’s Tiki Cat. No matter what flavor of this amazing food that I offer, they’ll sit eagerly and munch up their entire serving. That doesn’t happen with any other brand of food I offer my felines.I have no clue how anyone can rate this food under 5 stars. If you want to feed your cat a natural, wholesome, quality canned food diet- Tiki Cat is one of my top choices. I do supplement this food with other food (Diamond dry cat food, and canned chicken, turkey, duck, and beef). But this food has proven to be great time and time again. My pets love it and it’s made with whole ingredients that are very healthy for them. They are a bit pricey- but they make a great ‘special meal’ once or twice a week. And they’re so yummy that I’m sure my cats would give them 2 paws up if they could.

My two cats tried the first of 12 cans tonight (Tuna in Crab Surimi Consomme), and you could really tell they had gotten something special! They are used to various high quality foods, but I have been looking for something they could really love and I think I have found it! Fluffy actually finished his dish and then began licking the can, something I have never seen him do before! This variety pack has 12 cans with 9 different flavors. All of them are formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, with the exception of three flavors which state on the can, "...is supplementary, to be fed with a complete and balanced diet." They are all grain-free with the exception of three flavors (which contain brown rice), and these cans state, "Low Grain, only 5% Rice". I would prefer to find a canned food that has NO grains ever, but that has proven to be a difficult task. They all have vegetable gums (locust bean, carrageenan, and guar), but I don't think this is a deal-breaker. Overall, I am very happy with this cat food, and so are my cats! I love the fact that the company cares about eco-friendly manufacturing practices...even the tuna flavors are dolphin-safe! I also love that you can actually tell what you're looking at when you open the can. Instead of the gloppy mess I usually see with other cat foods, I could actually identify the contents of the can I opened tonight. Clearly visible were shreds of tuna and little pieces of crab. Yes, this food is a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it, and I will definitely be ordering more.UPDATE: I fed my cats the second can this morning (Sardine Cutlets),and they loved it even more than the first! When I went into the kitchen this morning to put on the coffee they were actually peering in the glass door with an expectant look on their faces! Again, I highly recommend this food!

This is great food for your cats because it is a whole food with no artificial ingredients, additives or grains of any kind.Buying a variety pack gives your pet a way to not have to eat the same flavor all the time and is also a good way to test which flavors they like most.It really is 5 star food but the reason I only gave it 4 stars is that I wish that instead of doubling up on some of the flavors, they would include 12 different varieties so my cat could try more of what they offer. Especially since there are a couple of flavors he won't eat at all so those cans are wasted as far as I'm concerned.I know this is the fish variety pack and since my cat likes fish best I tried this one first. They do make other non-fish and poultry/meat/fish blends but that variety pack, the Queen Emma. is quite a bit more expensive.Unfortunately he would not eat any of the flavors with sardines or mackeral and from many of the other reviews it looks like those flavors are the least popular.He liked most of the tuna and tuna blends. Since it's pure fish with no additives, he doesn't eat as much at one time as with other foods so each little can was 2 feedings for him. That made it more cost effective.My cat has a beautiful shiny coat, doesn't shed and is very playful and active and seems like a happy guy. I firmly believe being well fed (and treated like the King of the Castle) is the reason. A combination of Tiki Cat and Orijen dry food is his diet and it seems to work well for him.
