Outside cats seem to have all the fun but they are also prone to contacting diseases or run the risk of injury from cats, other animals and even cars. Indoor cats can be perfectly happy inside and will live a longer life than an outdoor cat. Make your house a fun place for your cat. Provide privacy when she uses her litter box. Set up a feeding station and access to fresh, clean water at all times. Install perches where your cat can easily survey her territory (your home). Give her a nice bed to nap in. Play with your cat every day using toys that stimulate her hunting instinct. A ball, laser pointer or fishing rod toy with a feather lure will entice her to jump and pounce and chase. Plan on cuddling time and make your cat to feel a part of your family. Contact your Sayville, NY vet to learn more.
