Tiki Cat
Born Carnivore® - Silver Senior Health: Chicken & Herring Meal Recipe
Summary
Tiki Cat Born Carnivore Silver Senior Health: Chicken & Herring Meal Recipe is a grain-free dry food for adult cats 11+ that prioritizes high-quality animal protein to help maintain lean muscle in aging cats.
Deboned chicken is the first ingredient and primary protein source, supported by herring meal and dried egg to deliver highly digestible, complete amino acids for muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
With 40% crude protein and 19% fat at 3,785 kcal ME/kg, the formula is energy-dense, so portion control helps less active seniors maintain a healthy weight while preserving muscle.
Salmon oil, herring meal, and ground flaxseed supply omega-3 fatty acids (listed at 3.75%), helping support skin and coat quality, cognitive function, and normal inflammatory responses as cats age.
Pumpkin and inulin provide functional fiber that supports digestive regularity and stool quality, while chickpeas, lentils, and peas contribute additional fiber and carbohydrates for energy.
Taurine supports heart function and vision, and L-carnitine helps mobilize fat, both valuable for senior metabolism and vitality.
Phosphorus is listed at 0.8%, which helps moderate overall mineral intake—an important consideration for urinary and kidney health in older cats.
Vitamin E is notably high at 1,000 IU/kg, and along with green tea and rosemary extracts, offers antioxidant support for cellular and immune health.
The recipe avoids processed plant protein concentrates (e.g., corn gluten) and is gently baked, a process intended to help preserve nutrients and flavor.
It is complete and balanced for all life stages, making it suitable for senior cats and workable in mixed-age households when fed appropriately.

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.
