Healthy Diet For Burmese Cat: A Guide

Meal time! As with us humans, the way we feed our fabulously beautiful Burmese cats has a significant impact on their health and well-being. This article will shed some light on how to optimise your Burmese cat's diet.

With love and care: the right food for your Burmese cat

The Burmese cat is generally regarded as a robust and healthy breed. However, as with any living creature, health problems can arise. Many of these are due to an unbalanced diet. Don't worry, here are some points you should bear in mind:

  • Adapt feeding to the stage of life: A young, growing cat has different nutritional requirements to an older cat.
  • Alternating proteins: Different types of meat, fish and poultry offer a wide range of nutrients.
  • Interplay: You should occasionally eat raw meat, but always observe the hygiene rules.
  • Balance: additives such as taurine, vitamins and minerals round off the spectacle.

What you should look out for in ready-made food

Attention cat owners, not every food is suitable for our four-legged friends. Various companies claim to offer the optimum diet for our friends. Now it's important to keep an overview!

Whether ARAS or GREY - it is always important to study the declaration on the packaging carefully. High-quality cat food consists mainly of meat and contains only a small amount of grain and no added sugar. Additives such as preservatives should also be avoided. And don't give your cat extra food! This would only upset the perfectly balanced diet.

Summary and closing remarks

Thanks to discipline and the right knowledge, your beloved Burmese cat - like a lion in the savannah - can remain vital and healthy even in old age. Develop a food cycle together that is based on quality and watch her soar to new heights. With proper feeding, your little king of the jungle will stick with you through thick and thin.

Frequently asked questions

Which food is best for my Burmese cat?

All cats, including the Burmese breed, require an exceptionally high protein and high fat diet. The high-quality ready-to-eat food should have meat as the main ingredient and contain little to no grain or sugar.

Do I have to feed my cat raw meat?

It is not absolutely necessary, but it can be beneficial to feed raw meat occasionally. Always pay attention to hygiene and only use fresh meat.

Can I also feed my Burmese cat fish?

Yes, fish food can be part of the Burmese cat's diet as long as it is not the main food. Too much fish can lead to an overdose of certain nutrients.

Can I feed my Burmese cat a vegetarian or vegan diet?

No. Cats are strict carnivores and need certain nutrients that are only found in animal products. A vegetarian or vegan diet can cause life-threatening deficiencies for a cat.

I've heard that milk is not good for cats. Is that true?

That's right! Most adult cats, including the Burmese cat, no longer tolerate lactose. Therefore, milk should not be part of a healthy diet for Burmese cats.

All in all, you have everything you need to provide your Burmese cat with a balanced diet. Like small carnivores in our midst, we should offer them the nutrition they would get in nature. Take up the challenge, get on the winner's podium and see your Burmese cat glow with health!
