Naturea
Bastet - Free Range Chicken, Cats & kittens all breeds
Summary
Naturea Bastet – Free Range Chicken, Cats & Kittens All Breeds is a grain-free dry cat food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of cats at all life stages, including kittens and sterilized adults.
The first ingredient is fresh deboned chicken, providing a high-quality, digestible animal protein source that supports lean muscle development and maintenance.
With 75% of the formula derived from chicken-based ingredients—including fresh, dehydrated, and meal forms—this food delivers a protein-rich profile that closely mimics a cat’s natural carnivorous diet.
The inclusion of hydrolyzed chicken liver enhances palatability and provides a concentrated source of essential nutrients such as vitamin A and iron.
Chicken fat and fish oil supply essential fatty acids, including omega-6 (2.9%) and omega-3 (0.3%), which support skin health, coat quality, and anti-inflammatory balance.
Linseed contributes plant-based omega-3s and fiber, aiding in digestion and promoting a healthy coat.
Functional ingredients like apple pulp, brewer’s yeast, and carob offer prebiotic fibers and antioxidants that support gut health and immune function.
Added cranberries and blueberries provide natural sources of antioxidants, which may help protect cells from oxidative stress.
With a metabolizable energy of 3993 kcal/kg and 18% fat, the formula offers a high energy density suitable for active cats and growing kittens.
Magnesium is kept low at 0.08%, supporting urinary tract health by helping to reduce the risk of struvite crystal formation.
Pros:
- High animal protein content: 75% chicken-based ingredients provide biologically appropriate protein for muscle maintenance and growth.
- Grain-free formulation: Excludes common grains, reducing the risk of grain-related sensitivities and aligning with feline ancestral diets.
- Rich in essential fatty acids: Omega-6 and omega-3 support skin integrity, coat shine, and inflammatory balance.
- Natural antioxidant sources: Blueberries, cranberries, and tomatoes contribute to cellular protection and immune support.
- Low magnesium level: At 0.08%, it supports urinary health by minimizing the risk of crystal formation.
- Suitable for all life stages: Nutrient density and protein quality make it appropriate for kittens, adults, and sterilized cats.
Cons:
- High carbohydrate content: At 32.5%, the carbohydrate level is elevated for a carnivorous species and may not suit cats requiring low-carb diets.
- Moderate ash content: At 7.5%, the ash level may be a concern for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
- Limited taurine inclusion: Taurine is present at 900 mg/kg, which is adequate but lower than levels found in some premium formulations targeting heart and vision health.
- Use of potato derivatives: Dehydrated potato and potato protein contribute to the carbohydrate load and offer limited nutritional value for obligate carnivores.
- No added probiotics: While prebiotic fibers are present, the absence of live probiotic cultures may limit digestive support for sensitive cats.

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.
