Special Nutritional Needs For The Siamese Cat
By: Jane R. Bicks, D.V.M.


The Siamese cat, Royalty from Siam, is unquestionably the cat
most likely to want things it's own way - and usually gets it.


Incredibly intelligent, ingenious, agile, and
active, this dauntless, ultrasleek and slender
feline has a mind of it's own, and you never know
what a Siamese Cat will think of next.


To meet it's high energy needs and still retain it's
long lean beauty (a show Siamese must have absolutely
minimum fat and muscle over it's rib cage), this 
cat requires high biological value protein cat food and
balanced fatty acids daily.


Commercial cat foods with a high cereal or carbohydrate 
content should be Avoided, as should raw meat diets
(these can cause muscle flaccidity and hair loss).

On the other hand, non digestible carbohydrates (fiber)
such as beet pulp or grated carrots, should be
included in your Siamese cat's diet. These will cleanse
intestine walls, preventing bowel problems, and
keep it from getting fat.


If there is a fiber insufficiency, you'll soon find
your genius rectifying it by chewing socks, sweatshirts,
towels and so on. Growing kitty greens could save
you lots of socks.


For a very active Siamese, a little nutritional calming
can be obtained by supplementing the diet with a
balanced Vitamin B complex or 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon brewers 
yeast or torula yeast daily. I give mine chamomile
tea (1/4 teaspoon in it's food); this seems to help
him digest while keeping him calm. I add hops to his
evening meal which allows everyone to sleep during
the night.

Siamese love to fetch, so make 10 to 20 aluminum balls
and throw them every night. Exercise is a must for
these cats.
