We’re going to let you in on a blogging secret: there are times that all of the photos for a blog post are taken in a single sitting, or even on the same day. That’s the case for today’s blog post, but we didn’t want to break it up into two posts.
Part 1
Pierre: Hey, look, it’s a box from our friends at Chewy! It’s a big box. What do you think is in here?
Pierre: It looks like some cans of Tiki Cat. Why do you think they put them in such a big box?
Newton: I hope it’s because they have so much flavor that they need a really big box!
Pierre: That might be true, Newt. We’ll find out when we taste it. But I think it’s because our friends at Chewy wanted to send us a special toy.
Part 2
We haven’t talked about it here on the blog, but Pierre hasn’t been feeling very well. He hasn’t had much of an appetite, and when he does eat, he doesn’t always keep his meals down. Those of you who follow the head peep on Twitter saw that he was at the vet last week, and that’s why.
After yet another round of not keeping his breakfast down, the head peep was trying to find something in the house that Pierre could eat when she remembered we had the Tiki Cat gourmet carnivore package waiting to be reviewed.
She opened up the package and went through the twelve different flavors to see what might work best. She found a can of grain free chicken and turkey can and opened it, and Pierre ate it with great enthusiasm.
We like that the Tiki Cat foods are made with 100 percent human USDA grade products and are grain-free, carb-free, whole shredded meats. But we especially like that Pierre happily ate the Tiki Cat when he hasn’t shown enthusiasm for food in weeks.
We all got a good laugh out of the marketing jargon on the back of this can:
It’s pretty certain that a housecat’s natural prey diet doesn’t include cows! We understand, though, that they mean that the percentage of protein and fat is what a cat would get from wild caught prey, even if that prey probably isn’t a cow.
Mostly, we’re excited that it’s healthy food without a lot of extra junk added and that Pierre will eat it! Getting finicky cats to eat is hard, and it’s a cause for big celebration when you find food that isn’t loaded with carbs that a fussy cat finds acceptable. So thanks for giving us a chance for the review, Chewy. We didn’t expect it to happen quite the way it did, but Pierre gives Tiki Cat his paws up of approval.
FTC Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. We received this food for free from Chewy.com. This didn’t influence what we say; all opinions expressed on this site are our own. We only feature products we have used or would use or that we feel are of interest to our readers.
I’m a little jealous – our Chewy.com box wasn’t as big as yours! The food was just as tasty, though.
Glad Pierre liked the food. It does sound good. I have never had much luck feeding grain free food. But I don’t think we have tried Tiki.Hope you start to eat better Pierre.
We’re happy to hear that Pierre liked the food…it looks delicious!!

We’re glad Pierre found something he likes, and keeps down. We hope he checked out okay at the vet that he’s just been feeling “off” with a kitty virus or some such. Purrs to him and to you all.
We’re sorry to hear that Pierre hasn’t been feeling well, but glad that he likes the Tiki Cat. It was good to see Tiki Cat making more meat-based flavors. We’ll definitely check it out.
And how funny that Chewy sent such a big box! We’re sure it was meant as a toy for you guys.
Truffles reviewed her Tiki Cat today too! We’re so glad they’re making something other than fish-based flavors. Glad you enjoyed it, Pierre, and hope you’re feeling better! {{{hugs}}}
We sure hope Pierre is on the mend. We may have to try that food too!
We hope you are feeling much better Pierre and are sending extra purrs for you.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Glad that Pierre liked the Tiki food and hope he is feeling better. I always had digestive issues until mom started feeding us raw food. We cats need meat! Mom says she is glad to see more cat food manufacturers seeing the light.
Wow you got a box to hang out in AND good food! We are soooo jealous!
We are purring for Pierre too. Luckily we all have really great appetites.
Hey Pierre: Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Hooray for finding some food that Pierre likes and can keep down! We hope he gets to feeling better. Sending lots of purrs and prayers his way!
I am sorry you have not been feeling well Pierre, but glad you have found some food you enjoy.
Pierre, do I follow your mommy? @katiebella2
I would love to.
Pierre, we both share the throwing up. I was changed to Royal Canin at a horrible \price BUT” I eat it all and I like it AND I rarely hork it up. But you have a better cleaner more well formulated fur, so I am not encouraging you to change. xoxox
Sending healing purrz to Pierre. Buddy, I didn’t know you needed them. Tiki Cat is like Soulistic and Weruva made in Thailand of human grade food. I’m glad its better than the gut rot that was in the big box that came for me today.
Hopefully Pierre will be able to keep it down and continue to enjoy it! So very sorry he hasn’t been feeling well. POTP and please keep us all updated.
Marty and Mom
Do they sell shredded mousie in gravy?
Yay for liking this food, Pierre! And what a great box it came in, that will be lots of fun! We are sending you tons of purrs and good thoughts and hope that you will feel better pronto…
We honestly think the box was the best part, of course. We are super happy that Pierre found something he likes. Hope the other flavors appeal to him as well and that he is soon feeling better. Happy Thanksgiving, XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
wow – what a great box….and it sounds like the foods were tasty too 🙂
