Keeping an Indoor Cat Happy and Healthy
Keeping cats indoors protects them from traffic, predators and harsh winter weather. To stay healthy and content, indoor cats need daily activity and places of their own.
Give them a view
Cats love to watch birds and people. A clear windowsill or perch near a sunny window can keep a cat entertained for hours.
Play every day
Two or three short play sessions a day with wand toys or balls help cats burn energy and stay at a healthy weight.
Create cozy spots
- A soft, round bed in a quiet corner.
- High perches or shelves to climb.
- A scratching post near where they nap.
- Fresh water away from the food bowl.
Keep up with vet visits
Indoor cats still need yearly checkups and vaccinations. Talk to your vet about weight, dental care and any changes in behavior.
