Summary
Josera Catelux is a dry food formulated for adult cats, with a specific emphasis on reducing hairball formation.
The primary ingredient is dried poultry protein, consisting of 25% poultry and 4% duck, providing a concentrated source of animal protein.
Carbohydrate content is supplied by whole grain corn and dried potato, both included early in the ingredient list as energy and fiber sources.
Digestive support comes from beet fibre, plant fibre, and psyllium husks, which enhance gastrointestinal transit and help move ingested hair through the digestive tract.
The guaranteed analysis includes 32.0% crude protein, 20.0% fat, 5.3% crude fiber, and 6.8% ash, indicating a high-fat formula with substantial fiber content.
Mineral levels are declared as calcium at 1.30%, phosphorus at 0.95%, magnesium at 0.08%, potassium at 0.60%, and sodium at 0.45%, which support skeletal health and metabolic balance.
The formula is designed to maintain a urinary pH of 6.0 to 6.5, helping reduce the risk of urinary stone development.
Pros:
High protein level: Delivers 32.0% crude protein from a mix of poultry and duck, which helps sustain lean muscle mass in adult cats.
Effective hairball control: Includes multiple fiber sources—beet fibre, plant fibre, and psyllium husks—that support digestive movement and hair elimination.
Energy-dense formula: At 20.0% fat, the diet provides high energy availability for cats with active lifestyles or higher caloric needs.
Support for skin and coat: Contains fatty acids and trace minerals like zinc and copper, known to support coat quality and skin condition.
Urinary tract care: Designed to support a pH of 6.0–6.5, a range that can help reduce the likelihood of urinary crystal formation.
Balanced mineral profile: Calcium at 1.30% and phosphorus at 0.95% help maintain strong bones and teeth, while potassium and sodium contribute to hydration and nerve function.
Cons:
High inclusion of corn: Whole grain corn is a main ingredient, which may not be ideal for cats with grain sensitivities or those requiring lower glycemic intake.
Greaves as an ingredient: The use of greaves (rendered animal tissue) introduces a protein source of less defined origin and quality.
Generic hydrolyzed proteins: Includes hydrolyzed animal protein and hydrolyzed poultry liver without specifying exact animal sources, which may be a concern for pets with dietary restrictions.
No fresh meat component: The formula relies entirely on processed dry protein sources without any inclusion of fresh or raw meat.

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.
