Tiki Cat, Velvet Mousse Variety Pack, 12 Count

While expensive, this cat food is really high quality. All natural ingredients. Note that this food is fairly chunky. My cat prefers more of a pate but really likes this stuff. Hell, if I run out of food, I would consider having some of this on a cracker!

I have a kitty with stomatitis who only has 2 teeth left that I buy this for. I need to be able to make sure she's getting all of her nutrients while also eating a food that's smooth enough for her mouth, and she loves this stuff!

My cat will only eat these treats turns her nose up at everything else.

Here’s the story - Cat at the group home I work at got an infection in her mouth, already had bad kidneys but infection threw her over the edge. Vet diagnosed her with kidney failure, hit her with a bunch of antibiotics and gave her 1-4 months to live. Scheduled her to be put down in a week. She bounced back pretty well after the antibiotics, but I could tell from her excessive urination that her kidneys were still struggling. She seemed to be doing OK post appointment so I convinced the higher ups to postpone the euthanasia appointment, googled what sort of diet a cat with failing kidneys should eat. “No bone ash and no phosphorus” it said. Look up foods with no bone ash and no phosphorus, Tiki Cat is recommended. Well suffice it to say the cat is still here 18 months later. She loves the stuff. I’d say the vet was a little aggressive in his diagnosis but there’s zero doubt in my mind that switching her diet from kibble to Tiki Cat played a huge role in her recovery.

My two-year-old Maine Coon has become increasingly finicky about food. She is fussy about the pate Fancy Feast she used to love and I have to try to smooth it out for her. She is healthy and the vet’s office mentioned the tiki brand because of the smooth mousse like texture. Bought this in hopes to solve the problem even though it was very expensive, but, considering I waste quite a bit in the pate I’m using I figured it might equal out as I wouldn’t be throwing so much away. Unfortunately, I’ve tried three different flavors so far and she does have a few licks, but then leaves and is uninterested. It’s also messy to get out of the pouch and since she only has a few licks I use a teaspoon to pull some out and put in her dish then have to try to push the rest back down to try to fold it over and secure with a big clip before refrigerating it. It seems to still go everywhere. I’m now using an empty baby food jar to squeeze the unused portion into and make it easier for me to use. Disappointed and out of $$$$. Not for us unfortunately.
