American Shorthairs eat meat. Please remember that when deciding which food your American Shorthair should eat. That may explain why the American Shorthair rejects the meals you prepare for her. By giving him non-meat based foods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, nuts, seeds, etc., you may have a difficult time getting the American Shorthair to eat.
What should American Shorthairs eat?
You mustn’t forget that American Shorthairs share recent ancestry with the biggest of felines — cheetahs, tigers and lions — so take that to heart while feeding the American Shorthair. Never will you see an adult lion on National Geographic eating an apple, drinking milk or chewing grass in his natural habitat.
