A menu for every age
Their needs change as they grow
Kitten: Complete growth food, divided into several small meals.
Adult: Controlled ration, adapted to sterilization and indoor living.
Senior: Highly digestible food, while monitoring kidneys, teeth and appetite.
Which food?
Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
A complete and balanced feline diet, chosen with the help of a veterinarian if necessary, must cover its needs without excess calories. Quality and quantity matter particularly for this not very athletic indoor cat.
Portion sizes
How much should you feed?
The daily ration must be determined according to the cat’s weight, activity, age and state of health. A veterinarian can help set an appropriate amount and reassess it if the weight changes.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
|---|---|---|
| 3 kg | 45 - 55 g | 2 |
| 3 - 4 kg | 55 - 70 g | 2 |
| 4 - 5 kg | 65 - 80 g | 2 |
Changing food
How to switch foods successfully
Any change of food must be gradual over seven to ten days, gradually increasing the proportion of the new food to limit digestive disorders.
Hydration
Don't overlook water
Fresh water must remain available at all times and be renewed regularly.
A little extra
Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be included in the daily energy intake so as not to promote overweight.
Good habits
Make mealtimes count
- Adjust the ration to the weight, age, health and activity level.
- Avoid overfeeding in order to prevent overweight.
- Have the weight progression checked regularly.
- Keep fresh water available at all times.
Never feed these foods
Chocolate, onion, garlic, leek, grapes, alcohol, caffeine, xylitol, cooked bones and many human medications are toxic to cats. In case of suspected ingestion, contact a veterinarian quickly.
