NEKKO Product Lines at a Glance
Understanding the differences between NEKKO's lines is key to picking the right food. The GOLD TUNA line is the largest, with 8 products in 85g format. It includes options for kittens and adult cats, with ingredients like chicken, salmon, shirasu, shrimp, scallop, and coconut oil.

The KITTEN TUNA line has 6 products in 70g, designed for growing kittens. These include creamy and gravy textures with toppings like chicken, salmon, and katsuobushi. Sample products are NEKKO KITTEN TUNA TOPPING CHICKEN MEAT IN GRAVY 70g (NK-NP38) and NEKKO KITTEN TUNA CREAMY MIX KATSUOBUSHI 70g (NK-NP33).
The Tuna (Top) line features 5 products in 70g, all with tuna as the base and various toppings in gravy. Examples are NEKKO Tuna (Top Kanikama In Gravy)-051 70g (NK402058) and NEKKO Tuna (Top Shirasu In Gravy)-037 70g (NK402034). These are suitable for adult cats.
There are also two single-product lines: KITTEN SALMON (1 product) and KITTEN CHICKEN (1 product). These likely offer alternative protein sources for kittens. Additionally, NEKKO has a SENIOR 7+ range within the Tuna (Top) line? Actually, sample products include NEKKO SENIOR 7+ TUNA TOPPING KATSUOBUSHI 70g (NK-NP24), NEKKO SENIOR 7+TUNATOPPING SALMON 70g (NK-NP23), NEKKO SENIOR 7+ TUNA TOPPING CHICKEN 70g (NK-NP22), and NEKKO SENIOR 7+ TUNA 70g (NK-NP21). These are not listed as a separate line in the line breakdown, but they appear in the sample products. They are likely part of the Tuna (Top) line or a senior sub-line. We'll discuss them under senior cats.
NEKKO GOLD TUNA: Premium Options for Kittens and Adults
The GOLD TUNA line is NEKKO's largest, with 8 products in 85g cans. It includes both kitten and adult formulas, often featuring premium ingredients. For kittens, there are creamy options like NEKKO GOLD TUNA CREAMY MIX COCONUT OIL (KITTEN) 85g (NCO8) and NEKKO GOLD TUNA CREAMY WITH SALMON (KITTEN) 85g (NCO7). These are rich and easy to eat.
For adult cats, GOLD TUNA offers a variety of textures and flavors. NEKKO GOLD TUNA WITH SEAFOOD PLATTER IN GRAVY 85g (NCO6) combines tuna with seafood in a savory gravy. NEKKO GOLD TUNA & CHICKEN IN GRAVY 85g (NCO5) pairs tuna with chicken. Other options include NEKKO GOLD TUNA WITH SALMON IN GRAVY 85g (NCO4), NEKKO GOLD TUNA WITH SHIRASU 85g (NCO3), and NEKKO GOLD TUNA & CHICKEN WITH SHRIMP SCALLOP 85g (NCO2). These are ideal for cats that enjoy variety and rich flavors.
The 85g can size is slightly larger than the 70g pouches, making it suitable for cats with bigger appetites or for splitting between two cats. In Malaysia's hot climate, it's important to serve wet food promptly and refrigerate leftovers, but single-serve cans help minimize waste.
NEKKO KITTEN TUNA and Other Kitten Lines
Kittens have specific nutritional needs, and NEKKO addresses this with the KITTEN TUNA line (6 products) and single-product lines KITTEN SALMON and KITTEN CHICKEN. The KITTEN TUNA line includes both creamy and gravy textures, with toppings like chicken, salmon, and katsuobushi. For instance, NEKKO KITTEN TUNA TOPPING SALMON IN GRAVY 70g (NK-NP37) offers salmon as a topping, while NEKKO KITTEN TUNA IN GRAVY 70g (NK-NP36) is a straightforward tuna in gravy.
Creamy options such as NEKKO KITTEN SALMON CREAMY 70g (NK-NP35) and NEKKO KITTEN CHICKEN MEAT CREAMY 70g (NK-NP34) provide smooth textures that are easy for kittens to lap up. The KITTEN TUNA CREAMY MIX KATSUOBUSHI 70g (NK-NP33) and KITTEN TUNA CREAMY MIX SALMON 70g (NK-NP32) combine creamy texture with flavorful toppings.
These 70g portions are appropriate for kittens' small stomachs, and the variety helps transition kittens to different textures. Always introduce new foods gradually and consult your vet for feeding amounts.
NEKKO Tuna (Top) and Senior Options
The Tuna (Top) line includes 5 products in 70g, all featuring tuna as the main ingredient with various toppings in gravy. Examples are NEKKO Tuna (Top Kanikama In Gravy)-051 70g (NK402058), NEKKO Tuna (Top Katsuobushi In Gravy)-044 70g (NK402041), NEKKO Tuna (Top Shirasu In Gravy)-037 70g (NK402034), NEKKO Tuna (Top Seabream In Gravy)-828 70g (NK400825), and NEKKO Tuna (Top shrimp & Scallop in Gravy)-798 70g (NK400795). These are suitable for adult cats that enjoy seafood-based gravies.
For senior cats aged 7 and above, NEKKO offers specific formulas within the sample products: NEKKO SENIOR 7+ TUNA TOPPING KATSUOBUSHI 70g (NK-NP24), NEKKO SENIOR 7+TUNATOPPING SALMON 70g (NK-NP23), NEKKO SENIOR 7+ TUNA TOPPING CHICKEN 70g (NK-NP22), and NEKKO SENIOR 7+ TUNA 70g (NK-NP21). These are not listed as a separate line in the line breakdown, but they are clearly senior-focused products. They likely have softer textures and added nutrients for aging cats. Always check with your vet for senior cat dietary needs.
How to Choose the Right NEKKO Food for Your Cat
Choosing the right NEKKO food depends on your cat's age, preferences, and any special needs. For kittens under one year, start with the KITTEN TUNA, KITTEN SALMON, or KITTEN CHICKEN lines. These are formulated to support growth. The creamy textures are often easier for young kittens.
For adult cats, the GOLD TUNA and Tuna (Top) lines offer a wide variety. If your cat loves seafood, try the Tuna (Top) options with shrimp, scallop, or shirasu. If you want a more premium option, GOLD TUNA includes ingredients like chicken, salmon, and coconut oil. For senior cats (7+), the SENIOR 7+ products provide tailored nutrition.
Consider your cat's texture preference: gravy or creamy. Gravy options are more common in the Tuna (Top) and some KITTEN TUNA products, while creamy textures appear in GOLD TUNA and KITTEN TUNA creamy varieties. Also, think about portion size: 70g is ideal for smaller meals or kittens, while 85g suits adult cats with larger appetites.
In Malaysia's hot weather, wet food is beneficial for hydration, but always ensure fresh water is available. Store unused portions in the fridge and discard if not consumed within a day. When switching foods, transition gradually over a week to avoid digestive upset.
