How many calories does a 3.5 kg Devon Rex need per day?

A moderately active neutered adult Devon Rex at 3.5 kg typically needs approximately 220–270 kcal per day. Highly active cats or those in cooler environments may need the upper end or slightly above; less active or senior cats should be assessed at the lower end.

Should I free-feed my Devon Rex?

Generally no. The Devon Rex is food-motivated and will typically consume more than it needs if food is freely available. Measured meals (two to three per day) and pre-portioned treats give you much better control over daily calorie intake.

Why does my Devon Rex seem constantly hungry even after eating?

The Devon Rex is naturally food-driven, and food-seeking behavior doesn't reliably indicate genuine hunger once calorie needs are met. Verify the daily intake is appropriate using the estimates above and check body condition monthly. Persistent apparent hunger despite adequate portions warrants a vet visit to rule out metabolic conditions.

Does a Devon Rex need more calories than other cats of the same weight?

Compared to a sedentary indoor cat of the same weight, yes — the Devon Rex's high activity level typically means a higher daily calorie need per kilogram. Compared to another equally active cat of the same size, the difference would be smaller. Activity level is the most important variable after weight.
