Zakk mainly eats a homemade raw food diet, but I rotate in high-quality wet food when I’m running low or just want to give him some variety. Tiki Cat has become one of my go-to brands for those times. Here’s what you should know about it.
What Makes Tiki Cat Different
Tiki Cat is a premium wet food brand that focuses on high-protein, grain-free recipes. Real meat is always the first ingredient, and most formulas contain around 95% animal protein with minimal carbohydrates. The moisture content is higher than many other brands, which helps with hydration—something most cats need more of.
The ingredients are straightforward and recognizable. You won’t find cheap fillers, artificial additives, or GMO ingredients. It’s designed to mimic what cats would naturally eat in the wild.
What I Feed Zakk
I’m selective about which Tiki Cat products I buy. I stick to the ones that look like actual meat with fewer ingredients, and I avoid the pates—they tend to have more carbohydrates and fewer whole ingredients.
Here’s what I rotate for Zakk:
The Good
- Real, recognizable ingredients—no mystery mush
- High-quality, meat-based protein
- Higher moisture content than most brands
- Grain-free and low-carb
- Natural, non-GMO ingredients
- Variety of flavors for picky eaters
The Not-So-Good
- More expensive than grocery store brands
- Some cats won’t like certain recipes
- High protein isn’t suitable for cats with kidney issues
- Spoils faster once opened
- Requires refrigeration after opening
Is It Worth the Cost?
Tiki Cat is pricier than what you’ll find at the supermarket, but it competes well with other premium brands sold at pet stores. Buying variety packs or setting up auto-delivery subscriptions can help lower the per-can cost.
A Word About Can Sizes
Tiki Cat comes in two can sizes. If your cat won’t finish a larger can in one sitting, stick with the smaller ones. Once opened, wet food needs to be refrigerated and used within 2-3 days. Quality deteriorates quickly, so proper storage matters.
