Ingredients:

Chicken Meat (Gallus gallus domesticus):Chicken meat serves as the primary structural protein source in these creamy treats. It provides a complete amino acid profile including all essential amino acids required for feline muscle maintenance, tissue repair, and metabolic function. Cats are obligate carnivores with an exceptionally high requirement for dietary animal protein, and chicken meat delivers readily bioavailable protein that is efficiently absorbed through the feline gastrointestinal tract. The inclusion of real chicken meat as a base ensures palatability and satiety while supporting lean body mass across all life stages.

Chicken Liver:Chicken liver is one of the most nutrient-dense organ meats available in feline nutrition formulations. It is a concentrated natural source of Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin B12, riboflavin (B2), folate, iron, and zinc. In cats, Vitamin A from animal sources (preformed retinol) is essential as felines lack the hepatic enzyme to convert beta-carotene from plant sources into usable Vitamin A, making liver an irreplaceable dietary component. Vitamin A supports epithelial integrity, reproductive health, and vision. The iron content from liver supports haemoglobin synthesis and red blood cell function, preventing nutritional anaemia. Chicken liver also contributes to the treat's rich, deeply savoury aroma, which is a critical palatability driver for cats.

Hydrolysed Chicken Liver:Hydrolysed chicken liver is enzymatically broken down into smaller peptide fragments and free amino acids, dramatically increasing its digestibility and absorption rate compared to intact protein. At the gastrointestinal level, hydrolysed proteins bypass the need for extensive proteolytic digestion by pancreatic enzymes, allowing near-complete absorption across the intestinal mucosa. This makes the treat particularly suitable for cats with sensitive digestive systems, kittens whose digestive capacity is still developing, or senior cats with reduced gastric enzyme output. The hydrolysis process also intensifies umami flavour compounds, further enhancing palatability.

Tuna and Bonito Powder (Katsuwonus pelamis / Thunnus spp.):This is the signature flavouring and functional ingredient of this variant. Tuna and Bonito are cold-water pelagic fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). DHA is a critical structural component of neuronal cell membranes in the brain and photoreceptors in the retinal layer of the eye. In cats, dietary DHA is required for synaptic plasticity, learning and memory function, and visual acuity, particularly in kittens during neurological development. EPA exerts anti-inflammatory effects at the cellular level by modulating prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis pathways, supporting cardiovascular health and reducing chronic low-grade inflammation. The powder format concentrates the bioactive fish proteins, nucleotides, and inosinic acid (IMP) that are responsible for the characteristic savoury depth cats find irresistible.

Chicken Oil:Chicken oil provides a natural source of dietary fat, including linoleic acid (Omega-6), which is essential for feline skin barrier function, sebaceous gland activity, and the production of a glossy, well-conditioned coat. As an energy-dense macronutrient, dietary fat supports fat-soluble vitamin absorption (A, D, E, K) and maintains the palatability and silky mouthfeel of the creamy treat. Chicken oil also contributes to the natural flavouring profile, making the treat more appealing to cats who are driven by fat aroma in addition to protein cues.

Taurine:Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is an essential amino sulfonic acid in cats that must be supplied through diet, as felines have very limited capacity to synthesise it endogenously from cysteine and methionine. At the physiological level, taurine is indispensable for cardiac muscle contractility, where it regulates calcium ion flux across myocardial cell membranes and prevents dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a life-threatening condition in taurine-deficient cats. In the retina, taurine maintains photoreceptor cell integrity and prevents feline central retinal degeneration, which can lead to irreversible blindness. Taurine also plays a critical role in bile acid conjugation, supporting fat digestion and cholesterol regulation, as well as supporting immune cell function and antioxidant defence mechanisms.

DL-Methionine:DL-Methionine is an essential sulphur-containing amino acid that cats cannot synthesise at sufficient levels. It is required for the synthesis of cysteine and taurine, production of the antioxidant glutathione, methylation reactions critical for DNA repair and epigenetic regulation, and maintenance of urinary tract health by acidifying urine and reducing the risk of struvite crystal formation. Its inclusion in Kitty Yums treats supports both metabolic health and lower urinary tract function, making these treats beneficial beyond simple palatability.

Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis):Green tea extract is standardised for its polyphenol content, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a potent antioxidant. At the cellular level, EGCG neutralises reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibits lipid peroxidation, protecting cell membranes, DNA, and proteins from oxidative damage. The antioxidant contribution of green tea extract reinforces systemic immunity, supports cardiovascular health, and helps counteract the effects of environmental oxidative stressors. Its inclusion at safe, feline-appropriate levels also provides natural antimicrobial activity against oral bacteria, contributing to fresher breath with regular treat use.

Vitamins and Minerals:A balanced blend of essential micronutrients including Vitamins A, D3, E, B-complex, calcium, phosphorus, and zinc ensures that each treat contributes meaningfully to your feline friend's overall micronutrient intake, supporting bone density, immune competence, skin and coat health, and neurological function.
