They Can Get Bored Easily – Without outdoor stimulation, indoor cats need toys, scratching posts, and playtime to stay entertained and prevent destructive behavior.
They Still Need Exercise – Lack of movement can lead to obesity, so engage them with interactive toys, laser pointers, or cat trees.
They Can Be Just as Independent – Even though they live indoors, cats still value personal space and might prefer lounging alone at times.
They Love Watching the Outdoors – A window perch or a cat tree near a window can provide endless entertainment as they watch birds and passersby.
Litter Box Placement Matters – Cats prefer quiet, low-traffic areas for their litter box; keeping it clean is essential to avoid accidents.
They Can Still Catch Fleas and Parasites – Even without going outside, indoor cats can get fleas, ticks, or worms from humans, other pets, or household plants.
They Live Longer Than Outdoor Cats – With fewer risks like predators, traffic, and disease, indoor cats can live 12-20 years or more.
