MERA Cats Nature
Kitten Salmon
Summary
MERA Cats Nature Kitten Salmon is a grain-free, no–added-sugar dry food for growing kittens, designed to support healthy development with high animal protein and targeted functional nutrients.
The first ingredient is dried chicken protein (including 10% from animal-welfare farms), supplying highly digestible, bioavailable amino acids that build lean muscle and support tissue repair during growth.
Fresh salmon (14%) and salmon oil contribute marine omega-3s that help brain and retinal development and promote healthy skin and a glossy coat.
At 35% crude protein and 20% fat with a metabolizable energy of 16.81 MJ/kg, the formula delivers the concentrated calories kittens need for rapid growth and active play while maintaining muscle mass.
Seventy-two percent of the total protein is animal-derived, while peas and pea protein add additional plant protein and carbohydrates to the grain-free base, and hydrolyzed poultry protein can aid digestibility and palatability.
Calcium at 1.5% and phosphorus at 1.1% provide the building blocks for bone mineralization and tooth development in the first year of life.
Colostrum (0.5%) and yeast cell walls rich in mannan-oligosaccharides and beta-glucans (1%) supply immune-active compounds that help the immature immune system recognize and respond to pathogens.
Prebiotic chicory inulin (0.2%), dried beet pulp, apple pomace, and lignocellulose offer a blend of soluble and insoluble fibers that nourish beneficial gut microbes and support regular, well-formed stools.
Taurine at 2000 mg/kg supports heart function and vision, while vitamin E (300 mg/kg) and vitamin C (100 mg/kg) provide antioxidant protection for developing tissues.
Omega-6 at 4% and omega-3 at 1.5% help maintain a balanced inflammatory response and support skin barrier health and coat shine.

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.
