Summary

JosiCat Sterilised Classic is a dry food developed for adult sterilised cats.
It offers balanced nutrition with adjusted energy and mineral levels.
The first ingredients are whole corn, dried poultry protein, and rice, indicating a mix of plant-based fillers and animal-derived proteins.
Animal sources provide 86% of the total protein, derived from ingredients like dried poultry, salmon protein, and hydrolysed poultry liver.
The recipe includes beet fiber, chicory root, and plant fiber to support digestion.
It also has a controlled fat content of 10% to suit the lower energy needs of sterilised cats.
Calcium (1.25%), phosphorus (1.00%), and magnesium (0.10%) are balanced to promote urinary pH control between 6.0 and 6.5.
The guaranteed analysis lists 32% protein, 10% fat, 4% fiber, and 6.5% ash, with added taurine (1,000 mg/kg) and L-carnitine (250 mg/kg) for heart health and fat metabolism.
Energy content is 3,540 kcal/kg, suitable for weight control in less active or neutered cats.

Pros
Expand All
1

Animal-based protein dominance

86% of total protein comes from animal sources, including poultry and salmon protein.
2

Moderate energy and fat

With 10% fat and 3,540 kcal/kg, the formula is well-calibrated for the reduced caloric needs of sterilised cats.
3

Urinary support

Balanced mineral levels aim to maintain a urinary pH of 6.0–6.5, helping reduce the risk of struvite stone formation.
4

Added L-carnitine

Includes 250 mg/kg to aid in fat metabolism and support lean body maintenance.
5

Digestive fiber blend

Beet pulp and chicory root offer prebiotic support and help regulate bowel function.
6

Fortified with essential vitamins

Vitamin A (24,000 IU/kg), Vitamin E (220 mg/kg), and full B-vitamin coverage for metabolic and immune health.
Cons
Expand All
1

Corn as main ingredient

Whole corn is listed first, which may be less desirable for owners seeking a low-carbohydrate or grain-free formula.
2

No fresh meat inclusion

The protein sources are dried or hydrolysed, with no fresh cuts of meat listed.
3

Relatively high ash content

At 6.5%, ash is on the upper range for daily diets, which may be a consideration for cats with renal issues.
4

Generic plant content

Including “plant-based by-products” offers little ingredient transparency for owners concerned about quality.

Notes

Information about antioxidants and preservatives is missing or insufficient. Since I didn’t want to remove points due to this missing info without any proof, I evaluated this food assuming the natural preservatives were used. But note that this is just an assumption.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
