Bonkers, I have 3 cats who are allergic to fish so Tiki was never an option in our house.

They did eventually come out with 2 new chicken flavors and I was able to get them shortly after they came on the market.

The chicken was well received.

About 4 months ago, I purchased 4 new cases and ran into some difficulties.
6 cats completely refused the food.

I have 4 feral/rescues living in my basement and I tried the food on them.  They too, refused to eat the food .

Out of 10 cats total in my home, no one is a fussy eater.

About a week after the refusals, I was in my basement and heard a popping sound coming from somewhere.  Turned out it was the cans of Tiki.  The cans were not dented, not swollen and not opened.  I watched the lids rise and fall and it scared the daylights out of me. 

I contacted the company via emails and never heard back from them.
Other folks have been successful with contacting Tiki but for some reason I had no luck.

I missed throwing out one can and when I discovered it, it was not swollen or dented or opened, but something was oozing out of the top of the can.  My fear, as I sure you can imagine, was botulism.

In all honesty, I have not gone back to the food.
I was originally going to donate the refused food to a shelter, but changed my mind when I saw the can tops rising and falling.

I did not persue it with Petropics.....

Try a can at a time.  I often wonder if I am doing the wrong thing by buying food in cases.  I use so many cans of food in one days with all my cats.  I do not feed dry food.

 This food is not available anywhere in my area and after reading coontuffy's post it sounds like I am not missing out on anything.

On rare occassions I will purchase either Weruva or BFF cat food for my two that are not allergic to fish. Other than that I too prefer to avoid fishy cat foods.
