Furry PI's verdict

Tiki Cat High Protein doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. It contains dried egg product. To be fair, herring leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

  • Contains dried egg product, a lower-quality ingredient.
  • An elevated carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
  • A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

  • Herring leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
  • No grains on the label.
  • Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as herring and chicken fat.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
