"My kitties think that this is the best out of all the wet foods they have tried! They eat it up right away, finish the entire can in one sitting, and come running when they see or smell it! I wish this flavor came in a kitten formula because my kitties are 4 1/2 months."

"Look at the batches date of your cans. IF they were produced during or after June/July of 2021, please check the food very well, because i purchased 2 cases from the June and July 2021 production, and they were "FULL" of hard SHARP bone fragments, that were not breakable. I'm a big fan of Tiki cat ..."
