Tiki Cat
Born Carnivore® - Baby Kitten Health: Deboned Chicken & Egg Recipe
Summary
Tiki Cat Born Carnivore Baby Kitten Health: Deboned Chicken & Egg Recipe is a grain-free dry food for indoor and outdoor kittens, formulated to support healthy growth, digestion, and brain and eye development.
The first ingredient is deboned chicken, a highly digestible animal protein that supplies essential amino acids for building strong, lean muscles.
Chicken meal increases the protein density, while dried egg and chicken liver add easily absorbed nutrients and enticing flavor to encourage steady eating in young kittens.
At 42% crude protein and 22% fat with a metabolizable energy of 3946 kcal/kg, the recipe delivers the concentrated calories kittens need for rapid growth and active play.
Salmon oil, added DHA (not less than 0.1%), and ground flaxseed provide omega-3s that support developing brains and eyes and help maintain healthy skin and a glossy coat.
Chicken fat supplies energy and omega-6 fatty acids that aid skin barrier function and normal cellular activity.
Pumpkin, inulin (a prebiotic), and Bacillus coagulans (a probiotic) work together to promote smooth digestion and regular stools.
The grain-free formula uses peas, chickpeas, and tapioca as carbohydrate and fiber sources to help fuel growth and create a stable kibble texture.
Taurine is included to support normal heart function and vision, and choline chloride contributes to healthy nerve signaling and liver function during development.
Pros:
- Animal-first proteins: Deboned chicken and chicken meal lead the recipe, with egg and chicken liver providing highly digestible, complete amino acids for muscle development.
- Growth-ready macronutrient profile: 42% protein and 22% fat, along with 3946 kcal/kg, supply the calorie and nutrient density kittens require.
- Brain and eye support: DHA (≥0.1%) from salmon oil and added DHA, plus omega-3s from flaxseed, aid neurological and retinal development.
- Digestive health system: Pumpkin, inulin prebiotic, and Bacillus coagulans probiotic help nurture a balanced gut and consistent stool quality.
- Skin and coat nourishment: Chicken fat (omega-6) and omega-3 sources promote a healthy skin barrier and shiny coat.
- Palatability boosters: Natural chicken flavor and nutrient-dense chicken liver encourage kittens to eat well during crucial growth phases.
Cons:
- Legume and starch content: Peas, chickpeas, and tapioca add carbohydrates that may not suit owners seeking a lower-carb, meat-only approach.
- Multiple chicken-based ingredients: The reliance on chicken (fresh, meal, fat, flavor, liver) can limit suitability for kittens that need single-protein or chicken-free diets.
- Mineral transparency: Calcium and phosphorus percentages are not provided, making it hard to assess the calcium-to-phosphorus balance important for skeletal development.
- Probiotic specification: The Bacillus coagulans addition lists no guaranteed CFU level, so the effective dose and survivability are unclear.
- High energy density: With 22% fat and 3946 kcal/kg, careful portion control is needed for less active kittens to avoid excess weight gain.

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.
