Pros:
- High Protein Content: This formula provides 31% crude protein from a mix of animal-based sources, supporting muscle development and growth in kittens.
- Energy-Dense Formula: This formula contains 10% crude fat and 3,800 kcal/kg, providing sufficient energy for active and growing kittens.
- Taurine Enrichment: This supplement includes 1,000 mg/kg of taurine, an essential amino acid for heart and vision health during development.

- Complete Nutrition: Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E and zinc, to support immune function and overall kitten wellness.
Cons:
- Protein Source Quality: Relies on by-products like poultry viscera meal and bovine meat and bone meal rather than premium whole meat sources.
- High Carbohydrate Content: Ground corn, corn gluten meal, and wheat bran add significant carbohydrates, which are less aligned with the natural diet of obligate carnivores.
- Artificial Additives: This product contains artificial colorings (red ponceau 4R, tartrazine yellow) and preservatives (BHA, BHT), which may be undesirable for pet owners seeking natural options.
- Low Omega-3 Levels: Omega-3 fatty acid content (0.1%) is minimal, limiting its anti-inflammatory and cognitive health benefits for kittens.
- Fat Content for Active Kittens: While suitable for most kittens, the 10% fat level may not be sufficient for very active or underweight kittens.

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.
