Adult Sphynx cats typically need 3-4 small meals a day due to their high metabolism. Consult with your vet for portion guidance based on your cat’s weight and activity level.
Here’s a guide to the daily food requirements for a Sphynx cat, based on age and weight:
| Life Stage | Daily Food Requirements |
|---|---|
| Kitten (Up to 12 Months) | Wet Food: 1/2 to 1 can (3 oz) per meal, 3-4 meals a day. Dry Food: 1/4 to 1/2 cup per day split between meals. Kittens need frequent small meals for energy and growth. |
| Adult Sphynx (1 Year and Older) | Wet Food: 1/2 to 1 can (3 oz) per meal, 2-3 meals a day. Dry Food: 1/3 to 1/2 cup per day split between meals. Adult Sphynx cats have higher metabolism, so adjust portions based on weight and activity. |
| Senior Sphynx (7+ Years) | Wet Food: 1/2 can (3 oz) per meal, 2 meals a day. Dry Food: 1/4 to 1/3 cup per day. Consider age-appropriate formulas for joint and kidney health. |
| Additional Tips | Details |
|---|---|
| Monitor Weight | Adjust portions based on your cat’s weight and activity level. Sphynx cats should have a lean but muscular build. |
| High-Protein Diet | Choose food with high-quality protein sources to support energy needs, as Sphynx cats have a faster metabolism. |
| Provide Fresh Water | Always have fresh water available to encourage hydration, especially if feeding dry food. Use a cat water fountain to attract interest. |
