A menu for every age
Their needs change as they grow
Kitten: An energy-rich kitten diet, divided into several small meals, supports growth without overloading its digestive system.
Adult: In adulthood, a complete, high-quality ration adjusted to weight and activity helps maintain a slim, muscular build.
Senior: For seniors, a highly digestible diet, reduced in excess calories and well hydrated, helps preserve overall condition.
Which food?
Kibble, wet food, or homemade meals?
Premium kibble or a complete good-quality wet diet are well suited to the Singapura, provided they meet the needs of the adult cat, neutered or not. A mixed diet can also be considered to promote hydration and vary textures.
Portion sizes
How much should you feed?
Quantities must be adjusted according to weight, activity, age and sterilization. As this is a small cat, portions remain modest, but nutritional quality must remain high to support its muscle mass and vitality.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals per day |
|---|---|---|
| 2 - 3 kg | 35 - 50 g | 2 |
| 3 - 4 kg | 45 - 60 g | 2 |
| 4 - 5 kg | 55 - 70 g | 2 |
Changing food
How to switch foods successfully
Any change in diet must be gradual over several days in order to avoid digestive upsets and to make it easier to accept the new ration. A transition spread over a week is generally well tolerated.
Hydration
Don't overlook water
Clean, fresh water must remain available at all times. Since the Singapura often lives indoors, it can benefit from several water points or a fountain to encourage good daily hydration.
A little extra
Treats in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and be included in the overall caloric intake. They can be used to reinforce positive interactions or to stimulate play, but must not unbalance the main ration.
Good habits
Make mealtimes count
- Weigh the ration to avoid excess for this small build.
- Split into two daily meals for better regularity.
- Adjust the ration after sterilization or reduced activity.
Never feed these foods
Chocolate, onion, garlic, grapes, alcohol, caffeine, cooked bones and very salty or fatty foods should be avoided, as they can cause digestive, neurological, hematological or kidney disorders in cats.
