How much should I feed my Scottish Fold per day?

Most neutered adult Scottish Folds at moderate activity need approximately 180–250 kcal/day. A 4 kg adult is a reasonable starting point at around 190–220 kcal. Split across two meals, adjust based on body condition score after 4–6 weeks of monitoring.

Should I give my Scottish Fold omega-3 supplements?

Marine-source omega-3s (EPA and DHA) may support joint health in this breed. Some complete diets include them at useful levels; otherwise, a veterinary omega-3 supplement can be added. Discuss the appropriate dose and product with your vet, especially if the cat has any kidney or liver considerations.

Is wet food or dry food better for a Scottish Fold?

Both can form a healthy diet. Wet food provides additional fluid intake, which is beneficial given the breed's urinary and kidney health considerations. A combination diet — some wet, some dry — is a practical approach. Total daily calories from both should match the cat's target.

Can I free-feed my Scottish Fold?

It is not recommended. Scottish Folds can overeat when food is always available, and excess weight places additional stress on joints that may already be affected by osteochondrodysplasia. Scheduled, measured meals give you daily oversight of intake.
