Making Like Tony Tiger . . . . . . . . . . #ChewyInfluencer

My FIERCE Face

This is Sunshine the Cat with another scintillating review for #ChewyInfluencer. It is always a fun time when a BOX from Chewy.com arrives at MY House.This month was no exception because I picked what I'd hoped was a fantastic food - Tiny Tiger Chunks in EXTRA Gravy Seafood Recipes Variety Pack Grain-Free Canned Cat Food, 3-oz, case of 24

I chose this food because it was out of my norm. My norm being chicken, of course. Not that I don't love seafood now and then. But I am a chicken kinda Cat and it suits me fine. But I decided why not throw caution to the wind?

The variety pack comes with THREE flavors: Tuna, Seafood, Salmon. I really am impressed with the packaging. The colors distinguish the flavors without forcing my OLD eyes to read the fine print. I appreciate that. Plus, the colors make meal time more fun. Every CAT needs a little color in her life, n'est ce pas?

By now, I have tried all three flavors. They look a lot like the photo below - small pieces in a wonderful gravy. It simply appeals to all of my senses. I like the TUNA the best and the SALMON the least. Honestly, I think Salmon is a little too rich for this old gal. The other two are nice, though. And as a rule, I feel a lot more invigorated after a meal of such good food as Tiny Tiger. It is such a stellar brand which really has very thought-out recipes.

Take for example, the TUNA recipe. The MAIN ingredients are Fish Broth, Tuna, Chicken, Liver, Meat By-Products, Potato Starch, Dried Egg Product;  and the SUPPORTING CAST consists of Natural Flavor, Guar Gum, Salt, Sodium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Vitamins (Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin Supplement, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin A Supplement, Biotin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Folic Acid), Calcium Carbonate, Choline Chloride, Minerals (Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Oxide, Copper Proteinate, Sodium Selenite, Manganese Sulfate, Potassium Iodide), Dl-Methionine, Taurine, Magnesium Sulfate, Fish Oil (Preserved With Mixed Tocopherols). That is a pretty good list of healthy organic ingredients.

What this means for me and any other cats who happen to try this FINE canned meal is

• Grain free meal because CATS do not need grains
• High quality animal protein which insures good muscle performance and maintenance
• A healthy dose of amino acids, vitamins and minerals including taurine to balance out the diet
• A tasty gravy which also provides extra hydration which is so important to older cats, like me

That, my FURiends, is the makings of a FINE cat food.

Would I recommend Tiny Tiger Chucks in Extra gravy seafood variety? Definitely. 

Would I try it again on my own? Indeed I would. I would almost insist on it, in fact.

And would I give this canned cat food the highest award given from Casa de Noodles?

No. But only because I am SUNSHINE THE CAT and insist on having MY OWN award to give. 

So here it is - the award for excellence in FELINE products - The Sunshine Award

Sunshine is a Tiny Tiger #chewyinfluencer

How does a house cat become a TIGER? Well it takes many things, for sure. Probably the most important way a house cat becomes a TIGER is by EATING the right food. This is what Sunshine the Cat set out to do THREE weeks ago when she asked Chewy.com to try Tiny Tiger Chicken Recipe Grain-free Pate Canned Cat Food. And I have to say, she has certainly taken this mission to heart and come out of it WELL ON HER WAY to being a FULL BLOWN tiger and not just a Tiny Tiger. Not size-wise, of course. That would be along the lines of Steve Rogers becoming Captain America - and THAT would require a secret serum, not just good-for-you food.

No, I am referring to her VIM, VIGOR and VITALITY which has increased to TIGER SIZE since eating Tiny Tiger Chicken Recipe Grain-free Pate. Keep in mind that Sunshine is a 16 year old CAT! And she is now running around Casa de Noodles like she is a KITTEN! She even jumped ON THE COUNTER and ate my BREAKFAST! That was totally unacceptable behavior, granted, but nonetheless quite a feat for a SENIOR CAT.

So what is it about Tiny Tiger that is bringing out the T-I-G-E-R in Sunshine? I think we need to look at the ingredients to get the FULL picture.

No GRAIN because cats don't need grains. No CORN or SOY because cats don't need those either. Instead, take a look at the underlined ingredients! All you see there is MEAT and MEAT and PROTEIN. That is what a healthy cat CRAVES and that is what a healthy cat NEEDS.

So by eating Tiny Tiger Chicken Recipe Grain-free Pate Canned Cat Food, Sunshine is giving her body what it needs to reach TIGER STATUS.

And taste? She is LOVING it. Really and truly - she RUNS to her bowl at meal time and if there is no Tiny Tiger in it, she ROARS!

Now if only she would stop hiding around corners and POUNCING on me when I walk by. . .
