Summary

Matisse Kitten 1-12 Months is a complete and balanced dry cat food designed for growing kittens and pregnant or lactating cats. This formula is rich in high-quality proteins, with dehydrated chicken meat making up 36% of the composition, ensuring strong muscle development. Additionally, it provides essential fatty acids from sources like fish oil and chicken fat, contributing to healthy skin and coat. The product is fortified with vital nutrients such as 2900 mg/kg of taurine and a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 1.25:1, promoting overall growth and development.

 

Pros:

  • High Protein Content: The food contains 36% raw protein, supporting the robust growth and development of kittens.
  • Essential Fatty Acids: Includes 14% raw fats from sources like fish oil and chicken fat, which are crucial for skin and coat health.
  • Rich in Taurine: With 2900 mg/kg of taurine, this formula supports heart health and vision development in growing kittens.
  • Balanced Mineral Content: The food offers a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio (1.25:1), essential for proper bone development.

 

Cons:

  • High Ash Content: The formula contains 7.3% raw ash, which could indicate a higher mineral content, potentially leading to urinary issues in sensitive cats.
  • Inclusion of Corn: Corn is present in the formula, which some cat owners might find less desirable due to potential digestive concerns or preferences for grain-free diets.
  • Moderate Fat Level: While the fat content is adequate, at 14%, it might be lower than what some kittens require for higher energy needs, especially in active or larger breeds.

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.
