A menu for every age
Needs change over time
Kitten : Choose a complete food for growth, rich in animal proteins, divided into several small meals.
Adult : Adjust the ration to activity and neutering while regularly monitoring body condition.
Senior : Have the weight, teeth and kidney function checked, then adapt the food to age and any possible pathologies.
Which food?
Kibble, wet food, or home-cooked diet?
A diet based on kibble adapted to its morphology and its level of activity is suitable for this breed.
Amounts
How much should you give?
The daily quantity must be adapted to the cat’s morphology, physical activity, and changes in the cat’s weight.
| Weight | Daily amount | Meals/day |
|---|---|---|
| 3 - 4 kg | 40 - 55 g | 2 |
| 4 - 6 kg | 50 - 70 g | 2 |
| 6 - 7 kg | 65 - 85 g | 2 |
Change
Managing the food transition
Any change of food must be gradual over about a week, gradually increasing the proportion of the new food to limit digestive disorders.
Hydration
Water: do not overlook it
Fresh, clean water that is regularly renewed must remain available at all times.
Little extras
Treats, in moderation
Treats should remain occasional and represent less than 10% of the daily energy intake. They should be deducted from the ration in order to avoid weight gain.
Good habits
For a top-notch bowl
- Adjust the ration to the level of physical activity
- Regularly monitor weight in order to prevent obesity
- Frequently renew drinking water
Never give
Chocolate, onion, garlic, leek, grapes, alcohol, caffeine, xylitol, cooked bones, very fatty leftovers and many human medications are toxic or dangerous for the cat. In case of suspected ingestion, contact a veterinarian quickly.
