Tiki Cat Luau Velvet Mousse Wet Cat Food, Variety Pack, 2.8oz Pouch, 12ct

I have an extremely picky Bengal cat who decided a couple of weeks ago that he was done with Petite Cuisine canned food. I tried every brand, including Birdie and Louie, every flavor, and every texture known to feline. He wasn't having any of it. Most of it wasn't even sniff worthy. He does, however, love Delectables cat treats. Sadly, as treats, they don't have the nutrients cats need from food. I found this food through Google. It is right on point with the texture and consistency of Delectables but also has the nutrients and hydration that he needs from food. This was a win! He loves it! He is also picky about eating the same thing twice in a row so the variety pack is great with the 6 flavors so that I can rotate his meals. As long as he keeps thinking that he's getting treats and eats it, I'll keep buying it.

You know that enthusiastic sound of lip smacking? That head down, focused and intent posture that your kit takes when devouring a meal they can't get enough of? When you have a kit that needs to eat but can't or won't, that smacking sound is music to your ears, and their position at their food bowl is a sight for sore eyes. Long story short, our kit was attacked by a friends dog. They'd played together for years, so this was a fluke occurrence. (it was discovered later that the dog had a broken toe and his pain probably led to his short temper that day) Our kit will be fine, but during her recovery she's not wanted to eat much. The area on the side of her neck and throat is still sutured and the vet said she may have discomfort when chewing. We tried baby food, pate style cat food (mixed and watered down to make it softer), I even used an immersion blender in a can of pate food to further smooth the texture - - - none were enticing enough, although the baby food piqued the most interest. Although her normal diet consists of several Tiki Cat canned flavors, I did not know of this Tiki Cat Velvet product. Our friend (the owner of the dog) has been so vigilant in trying to help with our kit's recovery, that she brought several of these pouches over last week. I opened a pouch and our kit went nuts. She meowed for the first time since the accident and circled me like a shark. I could not smell anything when I opened the pouch, but I guess she did right away. I squeezed a little bit out of the pouch and she lapped it up right from the corner of the packet. I squeezed half a pouch into her bowl and that happy sound of lip smacking began. It was gone in a minute. The second half of the pouch was gone just as quickly. If you are familiar at all with a jar of Gerber chicken baby food, it's very similar to this in texture and consistency. Rather than tearing off the entire top of the packet to open, I've been just snipping off a corner then squeezing out the serving portion. This makes it much neater and cleaner to dispense. After using this by itself for 2 weeks, our vet suggested adding in some of her previous favorite wet foods. These pouches are a godsend, but they are quite spendy. As much as it's a joy to see her eating again, I was a bit nervous she'd continue to refuse her other food even once she's completely healed. I squeeze a bit of this Velvet on the bottom of her bowl, dish a spoonful of her usual wet food on top of that, then squeeze a bit more Velvet on top - - - like a Velvet sandwich. It works and she's been eating the entire bowl of food this way for over a week now. Knowing how much she likes it, I will continue to buy this and serve it this way even after she's fully recovered.

My poor kitty has a cancerous lesion in the back of this throat. He LOVES this and it’s the perfect texture for him when he can’t tolerate pates.

My 18 year old cat stopped eating. I tried lots of stuff. He would, just, lick any gravy and that was it. Tiki is one of the top cat foods, around. So, I tried this. It is not a pate. It is pureed. So, he would lick up some, enough to keep him alive and comfortable, a little longer, maybe. It was a big relief for us both. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars, is because, it costs, so much. But, when one of your beautiful, loving, best friends is suffering, or close to dying, most of us would do ANYTHING, we could, to help them! I did have to put him down, a couple weeks ago, as, it is, inevitable. But, at least, he ate well and got great nourishment from this product, towards the endtime. I would highly recommend this product, if your animal can't chew or has no appetite, or whatever. It gave me such a sense of relief, to see MAXIMUS eating, again. Thanx TIKI, your product gave me some extra time, to love and comfort my pal.

I have an aging cat who's already deaf, and I imagine is losing his sense of smell as well. The moron who decided to include mackerel in this was an unfortunate genius. It smells so bad my cat can actually smell it. He loves it. His human cohabitants don't love it nearly as much. Definitely a love/hate relationship with this product. Cat loves it, humans hate it. Cat wins. Most foods with gravy, he just eats the gravy and leaves the bits. With the mousse, he eats every bit on his plate. Now if only they would just sell the mackerel version by itself.

The cat food pouches were fine but the Amazon packaging was terrible. It came in a brown paper mailer. The box was smashed and when I got it out of the bag the box fell apart and the pouches fell on the floor.

My cats love all Tiki Cat food products! They are pricey items, but my diabetic cat needs good quality food and that makes his health worth it!

My cat is a notoriously picky eater, he has been this way his entire life. I've tried every brand of food on the grocery store shelves including those refrigerated natural foods, but he simply refuses to eat any of them, he'll just lick the delicious sauce off of it and leave the rest. I had noticed he would devour lickable treats and I heard some people discussing this Tiki Cat Mousse for their picky eaters and it sounded just like the lickable treats, only as a main course. His very first bowl was gone in seconds, he loved it! I've spent years trying different foods and this is the first one he'll eat completely! I'm so happy! I've never been a big fan of food in pouches, but at least the quality makes it only a matter of preference. If my friend likes it, that's all I need to know.

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!

My cats are very picky and they loved this food. The ingredient listing is very good and very good quality.

My cats devoured these.

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

I've been feeding this to my 19 year old as a supplement to her regular dry food diet. We've moved to smaller kibble and adding kitten food, along with this wet food in small amounts 3 times a day. She loves this stuff seems to help her keep on a bit of weight ,gives her energy, does not upset her stomach its a win! Highly recommend as an addition for senior kitties.
