Summary
LeChat Indoor Kitten Cat Kibbles with Fresh Chicken and Rice is a complete dry food formulated for indoor kittens. It focuses on controlled nutrition for optimal health.
The recipe features fresh chicken (4%) as a protein source to support growth and development.
It includes prebiotics like FOS (0.05%) and MOS (0.05%) to regulate intestinal bacterial flora and promote digestive health.
Omega-3 (0.57%) and omega-6 (2.06%) fatty acids are included to maintain a soft and shiny coat, while yucca schidigera (0.1%) helps reduce fecal odor.
Rice, subjected to an extrusion process, serves as a highly digestible carbohydrate source, supporting energy needs.
It is fortified with taurine (1,400 mg/kg) and vitamin A, which also supports vision and overall well-being.
Pros:
- Balanced protein content: Contains 30% crude protein from fresh chicken and animal derivatives, supporting muscle growth and development.
- Digestive health support: Enriched with FOS (0.05%) and MOS (0.05%) to regulate gut flora and enhance digestion.
- Omega fatty acids: These include 0.57% omega-3 and 2.06% omega-6 fatty acids for skin health and a shiny coat.
- Vision support: Fortified with taurine (1,400 mg/kg) and vitamin A to promote healthy vision and overall well-being.
- Fecal odor reduction: Contains yucca schidigera (0.1%) to minimize fecal odor, enhancing the indoor living environment.
- Highly digestible carbohydrates: Rice (4%) is processed for easy digestion, supporting kittens’ energy needs.
Cons:
- Low fresh chicken proportion: Only 4% of the composition is fresh chicken, which may be lower than that of premium kitten formulas.
- Moderate fat content: At 12%, the fat level may not provide sufficient energy for highly active or underweight kittens.
- Grain inclusion: Contains cereals like rice, which may not suit kittens with grain sensitivities.
- High ash content: With 9.5% crude ash, it may not be ideal for kittens with specific mineral sensitivities.
- Limited fish oil content: Salmon oil is included at 1%, which might not provide significant omega-3 benefits compared to higher inclusions.

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.
