How many calories does a Russian Blue cat need per day?

Most adult neutered Russian Blues need approximately 170–250 kcal/day depending on weight (3–5.5 kg range) and activity level. Less active cats should be toward the lower end of this range; the breed's moderate activity level and tendency toward weight gain make conservative portioning advisable.

Does a Russian Blue need more or fewer calories than an average cat?

About the same as other cats of similar size. The breed is not a high-metabolic outlier like the Cornish Rex or Sphynx. However, because Russian Blues tend to eat more than they need if given the opportunity, careful calorie measurement is especially important.

How do I measure calories in my cat's food?

Check the caloric density on the packaging (usually stated as kcal/100 g or kcal per can). Weigh or measure portions and multiply by the caloric density. A digital kitchen scale is far more accurate than measuring by cup or volume alone.

My Russian Blue seems hungry between meals. Should I increase calories?

Not necessarily. First check body condition score — if ribs are easily felt and there is a visible waist, the current intake is likely appropriate. Russian Blues are known food-seekers by temperament. Discuss any persistent hunger concerns with your vet before adjusting calories upward.
