MERA Cats Nature
Kitten Chicken
Summary
MERA Cats Nature Kitten Chicken is a grain-free dry food tailored for kittens 2 to 12 months, designed to support rapid growth, developing immunity, and healthy digestion during the first year of life.
The first ingredient is dried chicken protein (including 10% sourced from animal-welfare farms), providing the primary animal protein needed to build and maintain lean muscle in growing kittens.
Fresh chicken (14%) adds additional highly digestible amino acids, while pea protein contributes supplemental plant-derived protein to help meet elevated growth requirements.
At 35% crude protein, 20% fat, and 16.81 MJ/kg metabolizable energy, the formula supplies concentrated calories to fuel play, tissue growth, and recovery.
Calcium at 1.5% and phosphorus at 1.1% support skeletal mineralization and tooth development as bones mature.
Salmon oil (1%) and linseed (2%) deliver omega-3 (1.3%) and omega-6 (4%) fatty acids that promote skin integrity, a glossy coat, and support for eye and brain development.
Colostrum (0.5%) together with yeast cell walls rich in beta-glucans and mannan-oligosaccharides (1%) provides targeted immune support by interacting with gut-associated defenses.
Prebiotic chicory inulin (0.2%), dried beet pulp, and lignocellulose help nourish beneficial intestinal bacteria and promote well-formed stools and regular digestion.
Added taurine (2000 mg), vitamin A (16,000 IU), vitamin D3 (1,600 IU), vitamin E (300 mg), vitamin C (100 mg), and essential trace minerals such as zinc, iron, copper, manganese, iodine, and selenium support heart and vision, bone health, antioxidant protection, and enzyme function.
The recipe avoids wheat, barley, soy, added sugars, artificial colors/flavors/preservatives, GMO ingredients, exotic meats, and vitamin K3, aligning with a cleaner-label approach for sensitive households.

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.
