Question 1

What is the texture of this food?  Is it pate style or chunks in a sauce?  Are all of the flavors grain free?

Accepted Answer

Almost all Tiki cat food is grain free, that is why I buy it. There is some rice in the King Kamehameha Luau variety pack( less expensive variety pack of two variety pack offered), which I buy some of as rice is easy on the tummy, but contains no other grains as corn or wheat! I mainly buy the Queen Emma Luau variety pack which is grain free, only meat and vitamins for my cat. The texture depends on the flavor.  It's not quite pate, more like small pieces of salmon or mackerel in a small amount of sauce which is like an aspic in many cases. The tuna is more like a "pate'" in that the pices are very small and the liquid is very small.  My cat usually prefers pate type food to chunks and he loves Tiki.  Tiki is not like most foods and because of it's quality and palatability, it is the only food I feed my cat now.  The pieces are small and smell delicious.  So my finicky cat loves them!  He's high maintenance and will stick up his noise at Weruva, Instinct  etc.  He also has skin allergies that necessitate high quality food. Tiki fits the bill for him, he like the more expensive Queen Emma Luau variety pack the very best and then the less expensive King Kamehameha Luau (contains rice in some of the variety) and he loves the wild salmon in the small size, the larger size has too much liquid.  He is beautiful with a full, shiny coat and extreme energy!  Give him generic cat food or treats and its skin allergies for him, so I love Tiki, it's reasonably priced, made in a factory under human food controls and smells yummy!  What's not to like, try it!!!! Most of the Tiki foods are carbohydrate free too if that is important to your cat.

Question 2

is there any indigestible matters in this food? if so, can you list them?

Accepted Answer

I don't know if there's anything indigestible, thought that would probably be available on the label.  However, I will say that my cat vomits frequently to an irritable bowel disease, and after switching to this food, it has improved.  Also, it looks like and I think is, real chicken that's shredded, like human food!  My cat loves it.

Question 3

What are the dark / black specks in the food? They have the appearance of ground peppercorns. Mold?

Accepted Answer

I've noticed this too in the most recent batch purchased. I contacted the manufacturer who had gotten calls from about 4 people reporting the same issue. They were investigating at the time (this was about April 10, 2015) but suspected it was from a change they'd just made in their nutrient formula (meaning the vitamins/minerals that are added to the chicken). They'd left me a voicemail (very responsive customer service) with this information and said they'd call back in a few days when they finished the investigation but I haven't heard back and haven't yet followed up with them. My two cats (12 pound, 5yr old male and 8 pound, 1.5 yr old female) have continued to eat the food with the black dots (for about 2 weeks now) and have had no adverse reactions.

Question 4

What kind of mackerel and tuna are in the food? Different types have different levels of mercury in them.
