Our cats especially like the ones with liver. Most of the GC foods are a little soupy and slurpy but some of them have larger chunks than others; some are shreddier. You might want to check the photos on the Petropics Web site. I bought a variety pack to get started and set the fish cans aside for the shelter.

Well my boy ate all his sea bass, which looked good. My girl had beef & liver, she drank all the juice so I added more water. If she does not eat the bits dog or feral will get it. I catch her coming back for nibbles.

I'm glad to hear he ate the sea bass (it sounds so swanky, doesn't it?!) and that your girl is at least nibbling on the beef and liver. Some of those foods have large pieces that cats might not be used to so I suspect they could take some getting used to. Or even cutting!

She ate 2/3rds and the little feral happily ate the rest. Typically she does not like beef much, so this was good!

Is this line available outside of the States?  I saw it on their official website and looks like something I'd want to try for my kitties but I can't find it on any of the Canadian pet store sites.  Our local Pet Valu doesn't carry Tiki Cat at all and I don't think the Global Pet Foods in my general area (about an hour's drive away) carries it either.  I either have to drive to the States or order it online.  And the American sites don't ship to Canada.

I don't know... but I do remember that there was someone else in Canada (@mingking, was it you?) who was wondering about Tiki Gourmet Carnivore. It's possible that a store might be able to order it for you. Tiki GC is a little expensive but our pickier cat likes it a lot, both cats love the slurpy juice, and most flavors are pretty rich/caloric so keep the cats filled up.

I've been told Global Pet Foods has Tiki Cat but I'm unsure of the gourmet carnivore line! Where I live, we don't have Global Pet Foods. I think it's a good idea to call around and ask before you make any trips. I've made A LOT of trips 
 until I finally found some Tiki (not GC line)... only for my cat to turn his nose at it!!! 


And to maybe solve the problem of sites not shipping to Canada: you could try to see if any post offices near the border offer mailbox or PO Box services. Usually they'll charge a fee every time you pick up a package but it's free to have.

I don't think I'm going to order food enough to make it worthwhile. I  can order Tiki off of Amazon and other prices for semi-decent prices.  I do go into the city occasionally and often pass the Global Pet Food shop there but don't think they actually carry it.  When I did the "store locator search" on the Tiki Website nothing came up in my entire province.  Oh well.

She liked the duck and chicken, he liked lamb and liver. I have to cut smaller for her!

I'm glad they like them. And yes, some of the pieces of liver are pretty big! Our cats like them -- they seem to enjoy working on them and I'm glad they slow down our fast eater -- but I can imagine some cats not wanting to put up with them.

Well my fussy girl loves Tilapia (it sounded like something a girl would like) drank all liquid and ate half of the fish right off the bat! She seems to like it more than chicken

She also likes beef liver with chicken. She is liking these flavors better than the plain chicken unless it's the newness.

Ours like the liver flavors best, too... I think it's because they get lots of other chicken but not much liver!
