The British Shorthair is a large cat and will require approximately 70 Kcals per kg bodyweight per day of food. Many British Shorthairs are prone to obesity, especially neuters, and some restriction on their diet may be necessary. We do recommend watching their diet after their first birthday. Before they reach 1 year, they must have food and fresh water at all times.
