Snowshoe
The Snowshoe Cat breed is not quite as large as a Maine Coon, but it has the same basic temperament,
sociability, fortitude and nutritional needs. My advice for keeping a Snowshoe in keen shape is
to feed it a high biological value protein nutritionally balanced premium cat food three to four times daily (no
free feeding).
If you are using a supermarket label cat food, add a well rounded supplement with vitamins, minerals, amino
acids and fats. This will supply correctly proportioned amounts of energy, keeping the cat muscular and active.
A regular, weekly combing should be enough to keep their coats tangle free, but you may want to add
brewers yeast or torula yeast for that "extra" hair conditioning, and don't forget hair ball
treatments!
