How many calories does a Bengal cat need per day?

An active neutered adult Bengal typically needs approximately 200–300 kcal/day depending on weight (3.6–6.8 kg range) and individual activity. A 5 kg active Bengal needs roughly 230–260 kcal/day as a starting estimate. Use a calorie calculator and adjust based on body condition score over 4–6 weeks.

Do Bengals need more calories than other cats?

Bengals generally need more calories than low- or moderate-activity breeds of similar size because of their high activity level. The difference comes from the life-stage multiplier applied to the base RER formula, not an exotic metabolic difference. A very sedentary Bengal kept indoors may need no more than an active domestic shorthair of the same weight.

My Bengal is losing weight even though I'm feeding the same amount — what should I do?
