Feeding
# Feeding your Burmese well
Thailand
The Burmese is greedy and accepts both dry and wet food. The quality of the food and portion control are essential to limit the risk of overweight.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Kitten: Choose a complete food for growth and split the meals according to the veterinarian's or the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Adult: Measure the ration and adapt it precisely to the activity in order to limit overweight.
- Senior: Have the energy intake and the composition of the diet reassessed according to body condition and the veterinary check-up.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
High-quality kibble or a complete wet food adapted to its age, health condition and activity level are suitable. A mixed diet can also be offered if the nutritional balance and the total ration are respected.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount must be determined according to weight, age, activity, physiological status and the energy density of the food. It must be measured accurately in order to prevent overweight.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3 - 4 kg | 52 - 76 g | 2 |
| 4 - 5 kg | 64 - 92 g | 2 |
| 5 - 6 kg | 76 - 108 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual in order to preserve digestive comfort, by mixing the old and the new food over several days.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Fresh water must remain available at all times. Several water points or a fountain can encourage this active cat to drink regularly.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be deducted from the daily ration so as not to encourage weight gain.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the daily ration rather than estimating it by eye.
- Serve meals at set times.
- Adjust quantities to weight and activity level.
- Leave fresh water available at all times.
### Never feed these foods
Chocolate, onions, garlic, grapes, alcohol, caffeine, xylitol and cooked bones are dangerous for cats and can cause poisoning or serious injuries.
