Indoor cats enjoy extra comfort and safety from many diseases, predators and other hazards — like cars — that outdoor cats must face. In fact, cats kept exclusively indoors live, on average, at least twice as long as outdoor cats. But indoor cats face their own set of challenges. Learn about the unique elements of indoor cat care and how you can make your indoor pet as healthy and happy as possible.Indoor cats are far less active because they encounter fewer stimuli and have less space to roam than their outdoor counterparts. To make up for their environment, you should try to play with your cat for at least 20 to 30 minutes per day. Try to keep your cat’s play routine new and different. Try new rooms, new variations of games and even new toys. Something as simple as a laundry basket can become a cat’s new favorite toy. Also, check on your cat’s weight at the annual vet visit to make sure your indoor cat is maintaining a healthy size.
