MERA Cats Nature
Adult Lamb
Summary
MERA Cats Nature Adult Lamb is a grain-free dry food for adult cats that emphasizes high animal-protein nutrition while supporting digestive comfort, skin and coat health, and urinary balance.
The first ingredient is dried chicken protein (including 20% from animal-welfare farms), establishing poultry as the primary protein source, with fresh lamb (14%) contributing palatability and amino acid variety.
Of the total protein, 80% is animal-derived, aligning with feline carnivorous needs and helping maintain lean muscle mass.
At 32% crude protein, 18% fat, and 16.37 MJ/kg metabolizable energy, the formula is energy-dense for active adults and should be portioned mindfully for cats prone to weight gain.
Poultry fat, salmon oil (0.8%), linseed (2.5%), and sunflower oil provide omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids (3.5% and 1.2%, respectively) that help maintain a healthy skin barrier and glossy coat.
Digestive health is supported by beet pulp, apple pomace, lignocellulose, brewer’s yeast, and chicory inulin (0.2%), which supply a blend of fermentable and insoluble fibers to promote good stool quality and nourish beneficial gut microbes.
DL-methionine (3000 mg/kg), magnesium at 0.1%, and a defined mineral profile (calcium 1.6%, phosphorus 1.15%) help manage urinary mineral balance and support a favorable urine pH environment.
The ash content is 8.6%, reflecting the formula’s mineral contribution from animal tissues and fortified micronutrients.
Grain-free carbohydrates from potato, peas, and potato starch provide digestible energy without grains or added sugar, though they still contribute starchy calories.
Taurine at 2000 mg/kg, plus vitamins A (16,000 IU), D3 (1,600 IU), E (300 mg), and C (100 mg), support vision, cardiac function, immune competence, and antioxidant defenses.

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.
