Hybrid cats often thrive with high-protein diets, controlled carbohydrates, and robust hydration. Whether you feed premium wet, raw, or a mixed approach, consistency and evidence-based adjustments win long term.
Macronutrient Targets
- Protein (dry-matter): 45–55% for active hybrids.
- Fat (dry-matter): 25–35% for sustained energy and coat health.
- Carbohydrate: as low as practical while maintaining stool quality.
Feeding Patterns
- 2–4 small "hunt-then-eat" meals reduce food guarding and night waking.
- Use puzzle feeders to slow intake and add mental workload.
Hydration & Gut Health
- Wide, shallow bowls or fountains; offer multiple water stations.
- Increase moisture via wet/raw toppers; aim for soft - but formed - stools.
- Introduce any probiotics or supplements one at a time for 10–14 days.
