What Is Pâté Cat Food?
Pâté cat food is a smooth, creamy wet food with a soft, even texture. Unlike chunky or gravy-style recipes, it has no large pieces to chew. Cats can lap it up or swallow it with ease. Pâté typically contains 72% to 80% moisture.
What Is a Cat Food Topper (and Why Use One)?
A topper is an add-on that you mix into or serve alongside your cat's regular meal. It is not a replacement for a complete diet. A topper boosts taste, texture, hydration, and nutrient intake.
Unicorn Pâté takes this idea and makes it plant-based. Its smooth pâté texture blends easily into meals. It contains protein, taurine, vitamins, and minerals.

Wet, Dry, or Both? Where a Topper Fits
There's no single right answer. Cats often don't drink enough water on their own, so wet food helps fill that gap. Dry food, on the other hand, stays fresh longer and is easier to store. That's why many vets recommend feeding both, since each one makes up for what the other lacks.
Unicorn Pâté fits naturally into either routine. It's made to complement your cat's diet, not replace it. Spoon it over kibble to add flavor and moisture. Its smooth pâté texture also blends easily into wet food.
Perfect for Picky Eaters
Smell is a primary driver of palatability in cats. Warm, moist food releases stronger aromas than cold, dry food. Cats that are selective about their meals often ignore food with little scent.
If your cat walks away from the bowl
Unicorn Pâté holds 72 to 80% moisture, so it carries far more scent than dry food. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons over kibble and stir gently. Plant-based, with added taurine.

Multi-Pet Home? A Quick Note on Dogs
If your dog sneaks a lick of Unicorn Pâté, there is usually no need to worry. A small amount is generally safe for most dogs. However, Unicorn Pâté is made for cats and should not become part of your dog's regular diet.
Cat food and treats contain more protein and fat than most dogs need. Eating them frequently can lead to digestive upset, weight gain, and other health problems. Stick to species-appropriate treats, and keep cat and dog meals separate whenever possible.
