Feeding a Siamese: ration, kibble and hydration
Siamese : Active and slender, the Siamese burns a lot of energy: a protein-rich diet split into several small meals suits it well. Some individuals eat too fast out of excitement; a slow-feeder bowl solves this.

In short: Fine, slender cat (3 to 5 kg), very short coat, high energy, very vocal. An extremely communicative, one-person cat that comments on the day in a loud voice. It copes poorly with being alone: interactive toys, puzzle feeders and regular company are essential to its balance.
The daily ration of a Siamese
A strict carnivore of 3 to 5 kg, the Siamese eats about 45 to 70 g of kibble a day — or mixed feeding with wet food, valuable for hydration. Its high activity burns through the ration: split it into several small meals or use a puzzle feeder.
Breed-specific needs
A breed without exotic dietary needs: quality comes first — named animal proteins at the top of the list, moderate carbohydrates, fresh water at will. The health point to know: feline asthma — regular vet check-ups adjust the diet before trouble sets in.
Water and budget
Cats drink little and badly: a water fountain multiplies drinking sessions, a genuine urinary-health issue. Budget-wise, plan €25 to €50 a month to feed a Siamese properly, wet food included. Our label pointers are detailed on the full Siamese profile.
Frequently asked questions
How much kibble for a Siamese?
About 45 to 70 g a day for an adult of 3 to 5 kg, adjusted for neutering, activity and the share of wet food. Body condition is the referee.
Does a Siamese need a special diet?
No breed-specific food is essential: a good strict-carnivore diet does the job, while keeping an eye on feline asthma.
