First 5 ingredients
Beef Heart – The heart of cattle, normally cows. This is safe for a cat to eat in controlled amounts, which it is in cat food. The heart is actually full of nutrients.
Hoki – A species of fish normally found around Australia and New Zealand. This company is based in New Zealand so it can be safe to say the Hoki is from New Zealand. It is a protein source. Fish in cat food is always a concern due to quality of fish used.
Beef – Meat, skin, and bone of cattle. About 70% moisture therefore is always seen near the top of ingredients lists. After cooking, it loses most of its moisture as well as protein. A common ingredient found in cat food.
Beef Kidney – The kidney is an organ meat. These are very nutritious sources yet quality is a concern. The kidneys filter toxins so it is especially important the kidneys are of high quality.
Beef Liver – An organ meat coming from bovines, usually cattle. Liver is very nutritious.
Ingredients to Point Out
Fish/Seafood - Fish have elevated levels of mercury. Feeding a cat fish every now and then is okay. Long term exposure to fish will cause health problems. Also, the majority of the time fish used for pet food is rank and of poor quality. Unless otherwise stated by the company as 'food fit for human consumption'. This applies to seafood as well.Overall Score

The Freeze Dried and Frozen Cat Food
Summary
The freeze dried and frozen cat foods from Feline Natural use the same ingredients as the canned counterpart. For example, the freeze dried, frozen, and canned Chicken and Lamb Feast have the same ingredients. The major difference being how each is prepared and preserved.
The freeze dried food undergoes a process in which the moisture is completely removed from the food. The nutrients and taste remain the same. Usually with freeze dried cat food, warm water is added to make the food soft for your cat to eat. Freeze dried has minimal moisture content.
The frozen food is exactly how it sounds; it is frozen cat food that needs to be thawed out before serving. It is closer in moisture to the canned choice.
And of course, the canned cat food selection is the most familiar. It has the most moisture
