Tiki Cat Stix Tuna Mousse Treat

Verified Jun 20, 2026

Cat · Treat All Breed Sizes

A soft, high-moisture tuna mousse treat for cats, made with tuna broth and tuna as the main ingredients. It’s designed to be fed as a snack or kibble topper to add extra flavor, protein, and hydration. This is a supplemental treat, not a complete diet, so it should be given alongside a balanced cat food.

KibbleLab Score
7.6 out of 10

This is a simple, tuna-based lickable treat that can work well for cats who enjoy soft textures or need a little encouragement to eat their regular food. The ingredient list is straightforward, with tuna broth and tuna providing animal protein, and the calorie content per tube is quite low, which helps limit excess calories from treats. It’s best used in moderation alongside a complete and balanced cat diet.

Nutritional Perspective

KibbleLab Review

Strengths

  • Tuna broth and tuna are the main ingredients, providing animal-based protein that is very palatable for most cats.
  • Very high moisture content (88%) can help support overall water intake, especially for cats that don’t drink much on their own.
  • Low in calories at about 9 calories per serving, which makes it easier to keep treat calories under control.
  • Short, simple ingredient list with no grains, which can be helpful for owners looking for a straightforward treat option.

Considerations

  • Intended only for supplemental feeding, so it must be fed together with a complete and balanced cat food and not as the main diet.
  • Contains fish (tuna) and egg, which are common allergens for some cats, so it may not be suitable for cats with known sensitivities to these ingredients.
  • Includes chicken flavor, so it may not be appropriate for cats with chicken allergies, even though chicken is not listed as a primary ingredient.
  • As a very palatable treat, some cats may beg for it frequently, so portion control is important to prevent treats from displacing regular balanced meals.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained

01
Tuna Broth
Tuna broth is used in pet foods and toppers mainly as a flavor enhancer and moisture source to improve palatability and encourage hydration; it may contribute small amounts of fish-derived protein and omega‑3s but is not a significant standalone protein source. While it can make meals more appealing, pet parents should watch for added salt or preservatives, potential fish allergies, and contaminants such as mercury or histamine, and remember tuna broth does not provide a complete, balanced nutrient profile (including taurine for cats).
02
Tuna
Tuna is commonly used in pet foods as a highly palatable animal protein and flavor enhancer, providing readily digestible protein and omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) along with B vitamins for both dogs and cats. While nutritionally beneficial, tuna can be high in mercury or sodium (especially canned), and feeding it exclusively or frequently may cause nutrient imbalances (including risks for thiamine or taurine issues in cats), so it should be offered in moderation as part of a complete, balanced diet.
03
Egg
Eggs are used in pet foods as a highly digestible, complete animal protein and nutrient source—providing essential amino acids, bioavailable vitamins (A, D, E, B-complex including B12), minerals like selenium and iron, choline and healthy fats—while also improving palatability and texture. They support muscle maintenance, skin/coat and cognitive health in dogs and cats, but raw eggs can carry bacterial risk and contain avidin in whites that may reduce biotin with long-term feeding; some pets may also have egg allergies or require portion control for calorie management.
04
Natural Tuna Flavor
Natural tuna flavor is used primarily as a palatability enhancer in dog and cat foods to make formulas more appealing and encourage picky pets to eat. It provides negligible nutritional value on its own, may be derived from tuna or tuna extracts so can trigger fish allergies or sensitivities, and should not be relied on as a source of omega‑3s or other essential nutrients—review the ingredient list for actual fish or added nutrients if you want dietary benefits.
05
Natural Chicken Flavor
Natural Chicken Flavor is used primarily as a palatability enhancer in dog and cat foods to improve aroma and taste and is not a meaningful source of protein, vitamins, or other nutrients. While generally considered safe, the flavoring is a concentrated extract or hydrolysate derived from chicken that may trigger reactions in animals with chicken allergies and does not guarantee whole‑meat content or higher nutritional quality.
