Cats are very affectionate and cute companions, and there are countless owners who raise British Shorthairs. Regarding the diet of British Shorthairs, owners want to provide the best for them to ensure the cats grow up healthy and happy. However, with various emerging cat foods, canned cat food, and nutritional supplements on the market, owners often face choice paralysis. Sometimes, choosing the wrong cat food might even make the cats in the home sick, and seeing them miserable is truly heartbreaking. So what exactly should British Shorthairs eat to be correct?

Choosing cat food for British Shorthairs also needs to be situation-based. For example, body type is a good distinguishing factor. If the cat is a bit overweight, owners should avoid high-calorie food and choose relatively low-calorie weight-loss cat food instead. In addition, when choosing cat food, owners should carefully observe the various nutrients and ingredients in the cat food, the shelf life, and some taboo items. Only the correct and nutritionally rich cat food can help cats digest and absorb better.

Based on the cat’s age, selecting cat food is also very particular. There are kitten cat foods and adult cat foods. For kittens, their digestive system and physical condition are very fragile. At this time, the cat needs nutrition; food that supports healthy growth is beneficial. Therefore, owners should choose foods that cover comprehensive nutrition or vitamin combinations, which can be digested quickly by kittens.

When British Shorthair blue and white cats enter maturity, owners can gradually switch to adult cat food. Feeding should be on time, in proper amounts, and fixed spots daily. However, it’s important that the food suits the cat. Reasonably supplement some fresh vegetable foods and ideally mix some calcium and vitamin powder designed for pets to help cats get vitamins, trace elements, and calcium for healthier growth. Avoid using human food or other pet food to substitute, as this is harmful to their development.

1. Feeding notes: Always ensure fresh and clean water, and avoid feeding milk. You can appropriately feed cat-specific goat milk powder. Prepare with water at a 2:1 ratio. Some trace elements in goat milk powder also help bone development.

2. To enrich the diet, you can also appropriately feed some freshly cooked fish or chicken meat, but remove the bones. Kittens under three months should be fed about 3-4 times daily, at 9 AM, 12 noon, 6 PM, and 10 PM.

3. After growing about 4-5 months, you can begin feeding suitable cat food directly, which is beneficial for their teeth and gums.

Cats are obedient little masters, not as vocal as dogs, and don’t need frequent outdoor walks, so raising them is less troublesome. However, owners must thoroughly understand cat habits before raising them, or else it may become a comedic mess~
