Summary
LaCat Kittens is a complete dry food tailored for kittens and pregnant and nursing cats, featuring meat as the first ingredient.
The formula contains 33% protein, primarily sourced from dehydrated poultry (21%) and dehydrated animal protein (10%), supporting muscle and overall growth.
Enhanced with calcium, vitamins, and taurine promotes strong teeth, bones, and overall health in developing cats.
With animal fat at 11.5%, it provides an energy-rich diet while aiding in cell formation and body functions.
The food includes prebiotics like FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) for digestive health and yucca to minimize stool odor.
LaCat Kittens is free from wheat, making it a suitable choice for cats with sensitivities to certain grains.
Pros:
- High protein content: Contains 33% crude protein from dehydrated poultry and animal protein, supporting muscle growth and maintenance.
- It is rich in energy. With 18% crude fats, it provides a high-energy diet for kittens and nursing cats with increased caloric needs.
- Digestive health: This supplement includes FOS (3,000 mg/kg) as a prebiotic to promote a healthy gut and improve digestion.

- Urinary health support: Specially formulated to promote urinary health, reducing risks associated with urinary issues.
Cons:
- Moderate fresh meat content: This diet relies on dehydrated poultry (21%) and animal protein (10%) rather than higher percentages of fresh meat.
- Use of maize and barley: Contains grains like maize and barley, which may contribute to a higher carbohydrate content not ideal for obligate carnivores.
- No omega fatty acids specified: Lacks explicit details on omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid content, which are beneficial for coat and skin health.
- Added antioxidants unspecified: These include “antioxidants” without clarifying their source or type, leaving quality uncertain.
- Lower fiber content: With only 2.5% crude fiber, it may not fully address dietary fiber needs for optimal digestion in some cats.
- Limited fresh fish content: Includes salmon, but only 5% from dehydrated sources, offering less diversity in protein sources.

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.
