Feeding
# Feeding your Kurilian Bobtail well
Russia
The Kurilian Bobtail can be fed with good-quality commercial food, in kibble, in wet food or in a well-balanced mixed diet. Its diet must take into account its activity, its age and its ideal weight.
A menu for every age
## Their needs change as they grow
- Kitten: A growth diet rich in proteins and well divided helps support the harmonious development of the skeleton and muscle mass.
- Adult: The ration must cover maintenance, activity and the maintenance of ideal weight, with a good balance between dry and wet foods depending on the cat's profile.
- Senior: In older cats, a highly digestible, palatable diet that is monitored regularly is preferred to preserve weight, hydration and overall comfort.
Which food?
## Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
A premium diet rich in animal proteins and adapted to the cat’s physiological status is recommended. The recipes must remain digestible, well balanced in energy, and compatible with its activity level.
Portion sizes
## How much should you feed?
The daily amount must be adjusted individually according to weight, activity, age and sterilization. It is better to rely on the manufacturer's recommendations and then refine with the veterinarian according to body condition.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 3 - 4 kg | 54 - 78 g | 2 |
| 4 - 6 kg | 70 - 100 g | 2 |
| 6 - 7 kg | 86 - 121 g | 2 |
Changing food
## How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be made gradually over several days in order to limit digestive disorders and to promote good acceptance of the new ration.
Hydration
## Don't overlook water
Fresh, clean water must remain accessible at all times. Like many cats, he may benefit from a portion of wet food to support daily hydration.
A little extra
## Treats in moderation
Treats must remain occasional and counted in the total caloric intake. They can be useful for play, enrichment and learning small exercises.
Good habits
## Make mealtimes count
- Provide a premium diet adapted to age and activity level
- Leave fresh water available at all times
- Monitor the ration after sterilization or in case of decreased activity
### Never feed these foods
Chocolate, onion, garlic, grapes, alcohol, caffeine, cooked bones and any food that is too salty or fatty should be avoided, as these products can cause digestive, nervous, hematological or renal disorders in cats.
