FREEZE-DRIED RAW · CAT FEEDING GUIDE

How to feed a Siamese

Siamese cats are lean, athletic and famously vocal — a slender, muscular breed that runs hot, plays hard and stays kitten-like in energy well into adulthood. That fast metabolism and active streak shape exactly how you should feed them.

As obligate carnivores, Siamese thrive on a meat-first, high-protein, high-moisture diet with very little carbohydrate. Freeze-dried raw is built for precisely that — dense animal nutrition to fuel a busy, talkative cat.

  • Adult weight6–14 lb
  • Lifespan12-20 years
  • TemperamentVocal, affectionate, intelligent, active
  • CoatShort, fine, close-lying, color-pointed

What your Siamese actually needs

Cats are obligate carnivores — they're built to run on meat, organ and moisture. Here's what matters most.

  • Lean, athletic, high-energy build

    Needs: High animal protein to fuel and hold muscle

    Freeze-dried raw is meat-first, delivering the dense protein an active Siamese burns through every day.

  • Fast metabolism

    Needs: Calorie-efficient, nutrient-dense meals

    A measured raw portion packs energy and nutrition into a small, highly digestible serving — no carb filler.

  • Slim frame that shows weight fast

    Needs: Precise portion control

    Protein-dense raw keeps a Siamese satisfied on the right calories, so a busy cat stays sleek, not skinny or soft.

  • Low natural thirst drive

    Needs: Moisture built into the meal

    Rehydrated raw adds the water a Siamese won't drink on its own, supporting urinary and kidney health.

  • Sleek short coat

    Needs: Omega-3 fatty acids for skin & coat

    Fish-based raw recipes supply omega-3s that keep the Siamese's signature glossy coat sleek and healthy.

How much to feed your Siamese

Quick answer: a healthy adult (6–14 lb) needs about 0.8–1.8 oz of freeze-dried raw per day, split across two or more small meals. Freeze-dried is calorie-dense and measured dry — much less by volume than kibble. Feed to a lean body and adjust every few weeks.

Ideal adult weightFreeze-dried per dayPer meal (×2)
6 lb 0.8 oz 0.4 oz
8 lb 1.0 oz 0.5 oz
10 lb typical 1.3 oz 0.7 oz
12 lb 1.6 oz 0.8 oz
14 lb 1.8 oz 0.9 oz

Starting points for a moderately active adult cat (~0.13 oz of freeze-dried per lb of ideal weight). Kittens need roughly double per pound; indoor and senior cats a little less — always adjust to body condition, not the bag.

What to feed your Siamese

Build a Siamese's bowl around complete-and-balanced freeze-dried raw, rotating between poultry and fish recipes to fuel lean muscle and support that sleek coat. Rehydrate to add the moisture this low-thirst breed needs.

Land Animal's cat recipes are high in animal protein and taurine and low in carbohydrate — a strong everyday match for a lean, active, high-metabolism breed like the Siamese.

Feeding by life stage

  • Kitten: Siamese kittens are intensely active and grow quickly — feed a protein-rich kitten plan across 3-4 small meals a day to fuel fast development.
  • Adult: Feed measured, protein-dense meals to fuel a high-energy lifestyle while keeping the slim Siamese frame lean and muscular.
  • Senior: Prioritize highly digestible protein and moisture to protect muscle mass, kidneys and a lean body condition in later years.

Common concerns — and the diet connection

  • Lean body & muscle maintenanceA high-protein, meat-first diet helps an active Siamese build and hold lean muscle on a slim frame.
  • Urinary & bladder healthThe moisture in rehydrated raw helps dilute urine — important support for a low-thirst breed.
  • Dental & oral healthA low-carbohydrate raw diet avoids the sugars and starches that feed plaque, supporting cleaner teeth.
  • Coat conditionOmega-3s from fish recipes help keep the Siamese's short, sleek coat glossy and the skin healthy.
  • Digestive sensitivitySimple, single-protein raw recipes with no fillers are gentle on a Siamese's digestion and easy to rotate.

Diet supports health but doesn't replace veterinary care — ask your vet about any specific condition.

Feeding your Siamese: what to know

Siamese burn calories fast, so feed to a lean, muscular body condition — you should easily feel the ribs under a thin layer with a visible waist from above. Their slim build means even a few extra ounces show, so measure every meal rather than free-feeding.

Two to three small daily meals suit their fast metabolism and high activity. Adding a little warm water to rehydrate the food boosts both moisture and aroma, which appeals to this engaged, food-motivated breed.

Cat feeding questions

How much should I feed a Siamese?
A healthy adult Siamese (6-14 lb) needs roughly 0.8-1.8 oz of freeze-dried raw per day - about 0.13 oz per pound of ideal weight - split across two or three meals. Feed to a lean, muscular body, not a number on the scale.
Why is my Siamese always hungry?
Siamese have fast metabolisms and high energy, so they genuinely burn a lot. Feed protein-dense, low-carb meals that keep them fuller longer, and split the daily amount into more frequent small portions rather than overfeeding.
Is raw food good for a Siamese?
Yes - as obligate carnivores, Siamese thrive on a meat-first, high-protein, high-moisture diet. Freeze-dried raw delivers dense animal nutrition with little carbohydrate, matching a lean, active breed especially well.
How do I keep my Siamese from getting too thin?
Don't cut calories - increase nutrient density. Protein-rich freeze-dried raw lets an active Siamese take in enough energy in a small, digestible serving. Measure meals and feed to a lean-but-muscular body condition, adding a meal if needed.
What's the best food for a Siamese's coat?
Fish-based raw recipes supply omega-3 fatty acids that help keep the Siamese's short, sleek coat glossy and the skin healthy. Rotating in salmon or tuna recipes is an easy way to add those omega-3s.
