MjAMjAM cat food: how to choose a complete, meat-rich, grain-free recipe

Choosing MjAMjAM cat food is about more than simply picking your companion’s favourite flavour. With claims such as “rich in meat”, “grain-free” and “natural”, it is easy to overlook some essential criteria. Ingredients, whether the food is complete, pack size and storage all have a direct impact on the quality of your purchase.

This guide will help you compare the MjAMjAM recipes available and avoid the most common mistakes, whether you are looking for adult cat food, a recipe for a senior cat or a multipack of cat food for regular feeding.

Common pitfalls when buying wet cat food

1. Confusing complementary food with complete cat food

Wet food can be appetising without providing a balanced meal on its own. Before ordering, check that the product page states “complete food” or “complete food for cats”. The products featured here are described as complete food for adult or senior cats, with taurine, vitamins and minerals added depending on the recipe.

This distinction is particularly important if wet food makes up a large part of your cat’s daily diet. Complementary food can have its place, but it should not be used as the sole basis of a diet without considering the rest of your cat’s meals.

2. Relying on a claim without checking the percentages

The claim “rich in meat” does not mean that a recipe contains only muscle meat, nor that all meat-based ingredients are present in the same proportions. The ingredients may also include offal such as heart, liver, lungs or gizzards. MjAMjAM product pages list these clearly, so you know exactly what you are buying.

For example, the chicken, rabbit and pumpkin recipe contains 56% chicken, made up of meat, gizzards and liver, as well as 14% rabbit. The beef, rabbit and carrot version contains 56% beef, 14% rabbit and 4% carrots.

3. Underestimating the importance of pack size after opening

A larger pack can reduce the price per gram, provided you can use the opened quantity quickly. The product pages recommend storing the food in the fridge for a maximum of 24 hours after opening. It is also best served at room temperature, although some product titles specify that it can be served chilled in summer.

For cats that eat small portions, 125 or 200 g packs reduce the risk of waste. 300 and 400 g tins or pouches are better suited to households that can use the opened portion quickly.

Criteria to check before ordering

Ingredients that match your priorities

If you are looking for grain-free cat food, several of the MjAMjAM recipes featured are made without grains or gluten. Some product pages also mention that they contain no added sugar, artificial preservatives, artificial flavourings or synthetic binders.

It is still best to read the full ingredients list rather than relying solely on the claims displayed on the front of the packaging. The recipes combine different animal-based ingredients and may contain a small amount of plant-based ingredients, such as pumpkin, carrot, chicory or blueberries.

Analytical constituents that are easy to compare

Analytical constituents provide an objective basis for comparing different recipes. For guidance:

  • the chicken, rabbit and pumpkin recipe contains 10.2% protein, 5% fat and 80% moisture;
  • the beef, rabbit and carrot recipe contains 11% protein, 6.5% fat and 79% moisture;
  • the rabbit, game and blueberry recipe contains 11% protein, 7% fat and 79% moisture.

These figures alone are not enough to determine the ideal portion for every cat. You should also consider your cat’s weight, age and activity level, as well as the feeding guidelines shown on the packaging. The product pages generally recommend 200 to 400 g per day for a cat weighing around 3 to 5 kg, with adjustments based on the animal’s individual profile.

Your cat’s age and tastes

Senior cat food is the better choice when the recipe is specifically formulated for this age group. The Senior Duo recipes combine duck and rabbit, with 56% duck and 14% rabbit, along with salmon oil, chicory and brewer’s yeast.

For an adult cat that enjoys variety, the beef and rabbit, chicken and rabbit, or rabbit and game recipes allow you to vary protein sources while staying within the same range.

Serving and storage advice

Follow the feeding amount shown on the product page, then adjust it to suit your cat’s actual needs. When changing recipes, a gradual transition over several days can make the adjustment easier. Serve the food at room temperature and always make sure fresh water is available.

Store unopened products in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate the food and use it within a maximum of 24 hours. If the smell, texture or colour seems unusual, do not serve the product.
