Finally I found cans of puka puka chicken Tiki Cat in the 6 oz. cans for our "babies". They simply adore it. (At least till they get bored with it!)
I noticed that in ordering cases (which strangely only come 8 cans to a case rather than the normal 16 or 24 cans a case),the label colors changed, and along with the color change to yellow and med. blue (the new can) from pale blue with a purple cat (old can), so did the calorie content ... dramatically.
The new cans (yellow and blue) are listed as 147 calories per 6 oz can as opposed to the old can (light blue) which is listed as 221 calories per can and is perfect for my two 10 lb. (average) cats. I would give half a can to each in the morning and another half of a can to each at night (or 2 cans a day total). Perfect!
Now nothing else at all had changed but the calories, which I found confusing. So I called the Tiki Cat company.
A representative who was sputtering and stuttering (and seemed like she really didn't know what was going on herself) tells me that they are outmoding my light blue label cans for the yellow/blue ones instead. I asked her why the dramatic change in calorie count and her reply was that "they changed their chicken!!" Does that make sense to you?
So now if I want my cats to be happy I have to actually give them each 1/2 can of the 6 oz at breakfast and dinner (or 2 6 oz cans a day), PLUS I need to add another 2.8 can to each dish at both meals in order to add up to 217 calories). That's 3 cans a day to each! WoW!! That's a lot of money and a lot of cat food in one dish. They'll never eat that much food on their plate!
Who in their right mind would do this and spend this much?
I never mind spending top dollar for my cats but this is ridiculous.
Something is seriously wrong and I wonder if there is anyone who has experienced the same thing that I have?
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Pepper
