Seared Ahi--what it is and isn't

This is what seared ahi tuna looks like.  It is not what "Whiskas" seared ahi in meaty juices looks like.  Despite the enticing menu description language, intended to "entice" cat owners, this flavor looks much like the other flavors ("filet mignon,"  "King Alaskan Crab") and has much the same texture:  brown, with an aspic-ish gel encasing it.  Perhaps the fish ones are a little pinker, the beef and turkey ones a little browner.  But it's a question of hue rather than color.  Nonetheless, this type of food hearkens back to the 
now defunct Sheba brand which was a favorite of Cosmo's in the early millennium.  And if Cosmo likes it, that's what's important.
