Oriental Shorthair Senior Feeding Calculator
Senior Oriental Shorthairs often need a different calorie balance than young adults as activity and lean mass change. Typical adult weight for this breed is about 3.5–6 kg, but always enter your cat’s current weight and honest activity level. This Oriental Shorthair senior feeding calculator uses veterinary RER and MER formulas with a senior life-stage factor. Recheck portions after weight or lifestyle changes, and work with your vet if your Oriental Shorthair has medical dietary needs.
