Categories whose Yoneda embedding has a left adjoint are known as total categories and are characterized by a strong cocompleteness property. We introduce the notion of multitotal category $\Cal A$ by asking the Yoneda embedding $\Cal A \rightarrow [\Cal A^{op},\Cal Set]$ to be right multiadjoint and prove that this property is equivalent to totality of the formal product completion $\Pi \Cal A$ of $\Cal A$. We also characterize multitotal categories with various types of generators; in particular, the existence of dense generators is inherited by the formal product completion iff measurable cardinals cannot be arbitrarily large.
