Siamese Cat Feeding Chart by Age

Adjusting your Siamese cat's diet as they age is essential for their long-term health. 

Kitten Stage (0–12 months): Growing Bodies Need More

Siamese kittens experience rapid growth and development, needing significantly more calories per pound than adult cats. During their first four weeks, they should receive mother's milk exclusively or kitten formula if separated from their mother. 

From 4–8 weeks, begin the weaning process by introducing high-quality, wet kitten food specially formulated with the extra protein, fat, and calcium needed for proper development.

Between 8 weeks and 6 months, your Siamese kitten will be in their most rapid growth phase, needing approximately 2–2.5 times the calories of an adult cat their size. Aim for 3–4 small meals daily totaling about 250–280 calories for most Siamese kittens. 

Adult Siamese (1–7 years): Maintaining Optimal Weight

Once your Siamese reaches adulthood, their nutritional requirements shift toward maintenance rather than growth. Adult Siamese cats do best with a consistent feeding schedule of two meals daily—one in the morning and one in the evening. 

This schedule helps maintain their metabolism and prevents the excessive hunger that can lead to gorging behaviors. A quality adult cat food with limited fillers helps your Siamese maintain their sleek physique without unnecessary weight gain.

Senior Siamese (8+ years): Adjusting for Aging Metabolism

As your Siamese enters their senior years, their metabolism naturally slows while their need for certain nutrients increases. Most senior Siamese cats need about 20–25 calories per pound of body weight, roughly 160–200 daily calories for the average senior. 

Protein remains crucial but should come from highly digestible sources that put less strain on aging kidneys. Senior Siamese cats benefit from foods formulated with joint-supporting nutrients like glucosamine and chondroitin, as well as antioxidants that support cognitive function.

Common Eating Habits of Siamese Cats

Siamese cats bring distinctive personality traits to mealtime that influence everything from food choices to eating environments. 

Picky Eating Tendencies & Solutions

Siamese cats are notorious for their selective eating habits, often developing strong preferences for specific flavors, textures, and even food temperatures. 

This pickiness isn't just personality, it's partially rooted in their heightened sensory perception and intelligence. Many Siamese cats will refuse to eat food that's been sitting out too long or doesn't meet their exacting standards.

To manage this selective approach to dining, establish consistency in both feeding times and food presentation. Siamese cats generally prefer their food at room temperature or slightly warm, which enhances aroma and more closely resembles freshly caught prey. When introducing new foods, do so gradually by mixing small amounts with their current favorite.

If your Siamese suddenly refuses a previously enjoyed food, don't immediately offer alternatives, which can reinforce picky behavior. Instead, remove the food after 30 minutes and offer it again at the next scheduled meal. 

Unless there are health concerns, most Siamese will eventually accept the food when they realize alternatives aren't forthcoming.

Food Texture Sensitivities

Texture plays a crucial role in a Siamese cat's food acceptance or rejection. Many Siamese show strong preferences for either pâté-style wet foods, chunky textures, or the crunch of dry kibble. 

This sensitivity to texture often becomes more pronounced as they age, with some older Siamese developing difficulty managing certain consistencies due to dental issues.

Some Siamese cats demonstrate texture-related behaviors, such as licking gravy from wet food while leaving chunks behind, or carefully eating around certain ingredients in mixed foods. These aren't simply quirks but reflect their sophisticated sensory processing. 

Homemade Recipes Siamese Cats Will Love

Homemade recipes allow you to control ingredients precisely, eliminate artificial additives, and cater to your cat's individual tastes. 

Chicken & Rice Dinner

This gentle recipe provides easily digestible protein and carbohydrates, which makes it ideal for Siamese cats with sensitive stomachs or those recovering from illness. 

Combine 1 cup of boneless, skinless chicken breast (cooked thoroughly and shredded) with ½ cup cooked white rice and ¼ cup steamed, finely chopped carrots. Mix in 1 tablespoon of chicken liver (cooked and minced) for essential nutrients and 1 teaspoon of fish oil for omega-3 fatty acids.

Allow to cool completely before serving a small portion (approximately 2–3 tablespoons for adult cats) alongside their regular food. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Salmon Delight

Salmon provides excellent omega-3 fatty acids that support your Siamese cat's skin, coat, and joint health. Thoroughly cook 4 ounces of fresh salmon (ensuring all bones are removed), and flake into small pieces. 

Combine with 2 tablespoons of cooked sweet potato (mashed), 1 tablespoon of cooked peas, and ½ teaspoon of olive oil. For essential taurine, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped chicken heart or liver (fully cooked).

This recipe is beneficial for older Siamese cats dealing with inflammation or joint stiffness. Serve in small amounts (2 tablespoons) as a supplement to their regular diet, not exceeding 10% of their total daily food intake.

To further support your cat’s joint health, Bailey’s CBD Oil for Cat can be a natural addition to their wellness routine. For cats under 10 lbs, a daily dose of 0.5 mg, or approximately 2 drops, is recommended for general wellness and joint support. This 100% natural formula is soy-free, gluten-free, xylitol-free, sugar-free, and contains less than 0.3% THC, ensuring safety and purity. 

Regular use may help maintain healthy joints and promote mobility, supporting your Siamese cat’s comfort and activity level. Always administer consistently and consult your veterinarian to tailor the dosage to your cat’s individual needs for optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How much should I feed my Siamese cat daily?

The adult Siamese cat needs approximately 25–30 calories per pound of body weight daily, which translates to roughly 200–240 calories for an average healthy adult Siamese weighing 8–10 pounds. 

This amount should be adjusted based on activity level, age, and metabolic factors. For precise portion control, measure food by weight rather than volume. Most adult Siamese cats need between 4–6 ounces of wet food or 1/3–1/2 cup of dry food daily, divided into two meals.

Are Siamese cats prone to specific food allergies?

Siamese cats show a higher predisposition to food sensitivities than many other breeds, with chicken and fish being common triggers. These allergies manifest as skin irritations, excessive grooming, ear infections, or gastrointestinal issues like vomiting or diarrhea. 

The genetic makeup of Siamese cats, particularly their immune system characteristics, may contribute to this heightened sensitivity. If you suspect food allergies, work with your veterinarian to implement an elimination diet using a novel protein source.

Can Siamese cats eat raw food diets?

While some Siamese cats can thrive on properly formulated raw diets, this feeding approach requires careful consideration of risks and benefits. Raw diets may provide highly digestible protein and naturally occurring enzymes, but they also carry risks of bacterial contamination, nutritional imbalances, and potential parasite exposure. 

If you choose to feed raw, work with a veterinary nutritionist to verify the diet is complete and balanced, particularly for taurine, calcium, and phosphorus levels.

How often should I feed my Siamese cat throughout the day?

Most adult Siamese cats do best with two meals daily, approximately 12 hours apart, which helps prevent hunger-induced hyperactivity and maintains stable blood sugar levels. 

Kittens need more frequent feeding such as 3–4 times daily until 6 months of age, then gradually transitioning to the adult schedule. Senior Siamese (over 10 years) often benefit from smaller, more frequent meals as their digestive efficiency decreases with age.

How can natural supplements like CBD support my Siamese's wellness?

Bailey's CBD complete cat wellness collection can support your Siamese cat's overall wellness and comfort. Our CBD Oil for Cats may promote balance through the endocannabinoid system, particularly beneficial for active Siamese cats. 

Our Calming CBD Cat Chews can support calmness during situations like vet visits and thunderstorms, which is valuable for this sensitive breed. For Siamese cats' sleek coats, our CBD Pet Shampoo combines 300MG of CBD with natural ingredients.
