The Benefits of Keeping Cats Indoors

Creating a Stimulating Indoor Environment

Interactive Play and Enrichment

Toys, climbing trees, puzzle feeders, and window perches can help satisfy your cat’s natural instincts while keeping them safely indoors.

Safe Outdoor Access Options

Consider leash training or installing a secure catio to give your cat safe outdoor experiences without full exposure to outdoor risks.

Health and Longevity of Indoor Cats

Studies show indoor cats live an average of 10–15 years, and sometimes longer. Regular vet care, proper diet, and mental stimulation help ensure a long, happy life.
