Feeding Guide
For adult cats (over 12 months): feed based on body weight and activity level. As a general guideline, an average adult cat (8-10 lbs) requires approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup per day, divided into two meals. 1 cup = 110 grams (standard 8 oz measuring cup).
Gestation and lactation: provide increasing amounts during the second half of gestation, up to twice the normal intake. During lactation, provide as much as your cat will consume.
Kittens: introduce dry food around week five and provide as much as kittens will consume from weaning until 12 months of age.
Mixing wet and dry: reduce Tiki Cat Essentials by approximately 1/8 cup for every 2.8-3 oz can of Tiki Cat wet food added. Always provide access to clean, fresh water. Consult your veterinarian if unsure how much to feed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a grain-free formula?
Yes. Tiki Cat Essentials Trout & Menhaden Fish contains no grains. Peas and chickpeas are used as carbohydrate sources in place of corn, wheat, or rice.
What is menhaden fish meal and why is it used?
Menhaden is a small, oily fish that is an excellent source of concentrated protein and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). Fish meal form allows for a high protein density in dry kibble while delivering the omega fatty acids that support skin, coat, and overall health.
How does this differ from the 6 lb bag?
This is the same Tiki Cat Essentials Trout & Menhaden Fish formula in a larger 12 lb bag. It offers better value per pound and is ideal for households with multiple cats or those who prefer to stock up less frequently.
Can I mix this with wet food?
Yes. Reduce the dry portion by approximately 1/8 cup for every 2.8-3 oz can of Tiki Cat wet food added. Mixing wet and dry feeding increases overall moisture intake while maintaining the convenience of kibble.
