Tiki Cat
Born Carnivore® - Indoor Health: Chicken & Turkey Meal Recipe
Summary
Tiki Cat Born Carnivore Indoor Health: Chicken & Turkey Meal Recipe is a grain-free dry formula for indoor cats built around high animal protein from non-GMO ingredients.
Chicken is the first ingredient, reinforced by concentrated chicken meal and turkey meal to supply dense, highly digestible amino acids that help maintain lean muscle.
The recipe provides 36% crude protein (the brand also states 40% on a dry matter basis) and 16% fat, delivering an animal-protein-forward macronutrient profile for everyday indoor activity.
Menhaden fish meal and chicken fat contribute essential fatty acids, with omega-6 at 2.8% and omega-3 at 0.44% to support skin and coat condition, vision, and brain function.
Dried pumpkin and a 5% crude fiber level offer gentle fiber to aid digestive regularity and promote well-formed stools.
Peas and chickpeas add carbohydrates and some plant protein, which can help satiety while shifting part of the protein mix toward plant sources.
Taurine at a minimum of 0.17% supports normal heart function and retinal health, both critical for obligate carnivores.
Antioxidant vitamins A (25,500 IU/kg) and E (180 IU/kg), along with folic acid (2.7 mg/kg) and vitamin B12 (0.12 mg/kg), help maintain immune defenses, cell renewal, and energy metabolism.
The food uses natural chicken flavor and preserves fats with mixed tocopherols and citric acid rather than artificial preservatives.
Metabolizable energy is clearly stated at 3,502 kcal/kg, which helps owners set precise portions for indoor routines.

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.
