How many calories does a 5 kg Birman need per day?

A neutered adult Birman at 5 kg and moderate activity needs approximately 275–300 kcal per day as a starting estimate. Adjust based on body condition score over the following weeks.

How much of a Birman's calories should come from protein?

Cats are obligate carnivores and require high dietary protein. Most complete commercial cat foods meeting AAFCO standards provide adequate protein for healthy adult Birmans. For specific macronutrient guidance, especially for cats with health conditions, consult your vet or a veterinary nutritionist.

Do Birmans need more calories in winter?

Indoor cats have minimal seasonal calorie variation since they live in temperature-controlled environments. Outdoor or partially-outdoor Birmans may need modestly more calories in cold weather. Adjust based on body condition, not season alone.

My Birman is 7 kg — is that too heavy?

7 kg is at the top of the breed's healthy range. Whether it is appropriate depends on frame size and body condition score. If ribs are easy to feel through the coat and a waist is present, a large-framed male at 7 kg may be in ideal condition. If ribs are difficult to find and there is no waist, the cat is likely overweight — consult your vet.
