Oriental Shorthairs, like all felines, are predators. That’s the most important thing to keep in mind when deciding which food your Oriental Shorthair should eat. If you don’t adhere to the natural diet, your Oriental Shorthair will become a finicky eater. You may have difficulty getting your new Oriental Shorthair to eat if you’re giving him food that is not meat or formulated from meat products.
Feeding the Oriental Shorthair.
Keep in mind Oriental Shorthairs share much of their dna with the biggest of felines — pumas, lions and tigers — so take that to heart when feeding your Oriental Shorthair. Never will you witness a mature cheetah on National Geographic chewing grass, eating an apple, or drinking milk in the wild.
