Summary
Meow Mix Kitten Li’l Nibbles is a dry, complete food formulated to support kittens’ growth and development through high protein and balanced nutrients.
The formula uses chicken by-product meal as its primary protein source, ocean fish meal, salmon meal, and turkey by-product meal.
It delivers 36% crude protein and 15% crude fat to meet the high energy and amino acid needs of kittens in the growth and reproduction stage.
Corn, soybean meal, and corn gluten meal contribute plant-based proteins and carbohydrates that increase the overall energy density.
The food includes DHA (0.04%) to aid in early brain and vision development, though the level is minimal compared to premium kitten diets.
Taurine is included at 0.15%, meeting the basic cardiovascular and visual health requirement in growing cats.
Calcium (1.2%) and phosphorus (1.1%) are balanced to support proper skeletal growth.
Artificial colorants such as Red 40, Yellow 5, and Blue 2 are used, and the formula includes animal digest to enhance palatability.

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.
