How many times a day should I feed my Russian Blue?

Twice daily at set mealtimes is the recommended approach for adult Russian Blues. This breed is prone to food-seeking behaviour, and structured meals with a fixed schedule are more effective than ad-lib or single-meal feeding for weight management.

My Russian Blue always seems hungry — should I feed more?

Probably not. Russian Blues are known to beg for food even when adequately fed. Before increasing portions, assess your cat's body condition score: if you can feel ribs without pressing hard and there is a visible waist tuck, the current amount is likely appropriate. Consult your vet if you are unsure.

Can Russian Blues eat dry food only?

Dry-only diets are possible but require excellent water intake to support urinary health, since this breed is predisposed to bladder stones. Including some wet food each day — or using a water fountain — is a practical way to increase daily fluid intake.

When should I switch my Russian Blue from kitten to adult food?

Around 12 months of age. Russian Blues reach their full adult size by roughly one year, and switching to an adult-formula food at this point avoids the calorie surplus that kitten foods can create in a fully grown cat.
