How many calories does an Abyssinian need per day?

Most adult Abyssinians need approximately 180–330 kcal per day depending on weight (3–5 kg) and activity level. Highly active or intact cats need the upper end; neutered, less-active cats need closer to the lower end.

Do Abyssinians need more calories than other cats their size?

Generally yes — their high activity level means their maintenance energy requirement runs somewhat higher than that of a sedentary cat of the same weight. This is why it's worth using a calorie calculator with an activity level input rather than relying on a generic feeding chart.

How do treats factor into my Abyssinian's calorie budget?

Treats should make up no more than about 10% of total daily calories (WSAVA guideline). On a 250 kcal/day budget, that leaves roughly 25 kcal for treats — about 2–3 small cat treats. Account for treats in the daily total rather than adding them on top of full meals.
