Not all adult cats have the same needs. A sofa-loving indoor cat burns less energy than an outdoor explorer, a long-haired cat may struggle with hairballs, and an older cat needs gentler food. Josera, the German pet food maker, offers a range of adult dry cat foods designed for these different lifestyles.
This guide compares seven of them side by side, with recipes and prices from the official Josera shop, so you can find the right match for your cat. If your cat has a medical condition, talk to your vet before changing food.

Indoor: For House Cats and Neutered Cats
Josera Indoor, previously called Naturelle, is made for indoor and neutered cats from one year old. It is grain-free with sea fish and has a moderate energy content to help cats keep a healthy weight. Special dietary fibres help cats feel full and support an anti-hairball effect. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids. A 10 kg bag costs 64.99 euros.
Leger: For Less Active Cats
Leger is Josera’s lighter food. It has a reduced energy content and extra fibre for cats that are not very active or tend to put on weight, for example after neutering. Josera says it is high in protein and contains L-carnitine to support fat metabolism. The fibre also helps swallowed hair pass through the digestive tract. Josera notes that, with moderate feeding portions, it can support gentle weight loss.
Catelux: For Long-Haired and Fussy Cats
Catelux is aimed at long-haired cats and fussy eaters. It is made with duck and potato and is described as extra tasty for demanding cats. Added dietary fibre helps reduce hairball formation, while fatty acids, vitamins, zinc and copper support healthy skin and a glossy coat. A 2 kg bag costs 18.49 euros.
Culinesse: The Salmon Option for Everyday Feeding
Culinesse combines salmon and poultry protein with a moderate fat content, which makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor adult cats. Josera describes it as highly digestible and particularly tasty. Like Catelux, it includes fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements for skin and coat, plus fibre to help with hairballs.
NatureCat: Grain-Free for Active Cats
NatureCat is designed for energetic cats that spend time exploring. It is grain-free, with 34% dried poultry protein and 4% dried salmon protein, plus herbs and fruit for variety. Unsaturated fatty acids and salmon protein support skin and coat.
Marinesse: For Cats With Food Sensitivities
Marinesse is Josera’s hypoallergenic recipe. It uses a small number of protein sources, salmon, potato and pea, with 30% dried salmon protein, and it is grain-free. Josera recommends it for fish lovers and cats with food sensitivities. A 2 kg bag costs 19.49 euros.
Senior: For Older Cats
Josera Senior is made for cats in later life. It has reduced phosphorus, which Josera says supports kidney function, plus antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and taurine. L-carnitine is included to help maintain muscle in older cats. It is also designed to be easy to digest.
What All Seven Have in Common
- Josera says each recipe supports a urine pH of 6.0 to 6.5, which can help counteract the formation of urinary stones.
- The foods are developed and produced to German quality standards.
- There is no added wheat, soy, sugar or dairy, and no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
- Josera states that it does not carry out animal testing for its pet food.
