The Ultimate Raw Diet Guide for Sphynx Cats: Chicken & Beef PMR Recipes
Whether you’re a dedicated Sphynx cat owner or a fellow breeder seeking a more natural, species-appropriate diet, this guide is for you. Feeding your hairless cats a raw PMR (Prey Model Raw) diet can lead to better health, energy, and longevity. In this post, you’ll find complete chicken and beef PMR recipes tailored for both adults and kittens—plus universal versions and scaled-down formulas for homes with just one or a few cats.
What is the PMR Diet?
The PMR diet follows the basic 80/10/10 ratio:
- 80% muscle meat
- 10% edible bone
- 10% organs (5% liver, 5% other secreting organs like kidney or spleen)
This approach mimics a whole-prey diet and, when done correctly, provides all the essential nutrients for obligate carnivores like Sphynx cats. It eliminates the need for starches or fillers found in commercial food, which can stress the feline digestive system.
Why Raw is Ideal for Sphynx Cats
Sphynx cats have higher metabolisms than furred breeds due to the lack of an insulating coat. They burn more calories to regulate body temperature, so their diet must be nutrient-dense.
Benefits of a raw PMR diet include:
- Boosted digestion and firmer, less smelly stools
- Improved skin condition and fewer breakouts
- Higher energy levels and muscular development
- Increased hydration from moisture-rich meat
When paired with a quality supplement like **Kitty Bloom VM900+3, raw diets become a safe, comprehensive solution that supports overall health—even during critical growth stages for kittens.
Feeding Guidelines
- Adult cats eat 3-4% of body weight per day (~150g per 4 kg adult)
- Kittens eat 5-7% of body weight per day (~100-120g per 2-3 kg kitten)
Always adjust portions based on activity level, body condition, and life stage. Growing kittens and nursing queens may need higher intakes.
Small Household Adjustments
Use the following chart to scale recipes appropriately:
| Number of Cats | Monthly Raw Food (kg) | Daily Portion per Cat (g) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Adult | ~4.5 kg | ~150g |
| 5 Adults | ~22.5 kg | ~150g |
| 1 Kitten | ~3.5 kg | ~115g |
| 5 Kittens | ~17.5 kg | ~115g |
Easy Calculation Formula:
Daily Grams Needed = Cat’s weight (kg) × % Intake (e.g., 0.04 for 4%)
Monthly Grams Needed = Daily Grams × 30
Convert to kg = divide by 1000For example: a 4 kg adult at 4% intake eats 160g/day × 30 = 4.8 kg/month.
🛒 How To Prepare , Package and Store Raw Food For Your Sphynx Cat
Shopping Tips
- Buy in bulk from restaurant suppliers, butcher shops, or wholesale clubs.
- Choose human-grade meats, and avoid meats that are pre-seasoned or cured.
- Always purchase fresh or frozen chicken necks, wings, thighs, beef chunks, heart, liver, and kidneys.
- Stock Kitty Bloom VM900+3 and optional calcium (if not using raw bone).
- Optional extras: egg yolks, sardines in water, goat’s milk, bone broth.
Meal Preparation
- Use a high-powered grinder (such as LEM or Weston models, size #12 or #22) for bones and dense cuts.
- Keep meat partially frozen for easier grinding.
- Grind muscle meat first, then organs, then bones.
- Add Kitty Bloom according to the weight of the batch.
- Wear gloves and sanitize all surfaces and tools.
Packaging
- Portion meals into daily amounts: ~150g for adults, ~115g for kittens.
- Use vacuum-seal bags or BPA-free containers to freeze.
- Label each with contents and date.
- Optional: freeze in silicone molds, then transfer portions to storage bags.
Storage
- Freeze immediately. Meals can store up to 3 months in a deep freezer.
- Store up to 2 days’ worth in the fridge for convenience.
- Do not refreeze thawed meals.
Feeding Frequency
Most adult cats do well with two meals per day, spaced about 8–12 hours apart. This mimics their natural hunting pattern and supports stable energy levels. Some cats may prefer once daily feeding, but twice daily is ideal for managing hunger and preventing overeating.
Kittens under 6 months should be fed three to four times a day due to their small stomachs and rapid metabolism. By 6–12 months, most kittens can transition to two meals daily.
Feeding & Serving
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
- Warm gently in a bowl of hot water before serving (never microwave).
- Serve in stainless steel or ceramic bowls.
- Discard uneaten food after 30–45 minutes.
- Clean bowls and feeding areas after each meal to avoid bacteria.
