Most cats can live indoors. Their activity level is not large, but it does not mean that they are inactive. There are many things that we need to pay attention to when raising cats indoors, such as being easily overweight, not changing cat litter for a long time, and hair balls. Blockage of intestinal tract, etc., so owners should pay attention to some things about cats living indoors.

1. Hair balls block the intestines

Cats that live entirely indoors may lose hair continuously. If the cat's coat is not regularly combed to remove dead hair, the dead hair will be swallowed when the cat combs its coat with its tongue, increasing the risk of intestinal hair balls blocking the intestines.

Hair balls can cause inconvenience to owners and threaten the cat’s life. When many hair balls accumulate in the cat’s digestive tract, it will cause the cat to vomit or have intestinal obstruction. In case of intestinal obstruction, immediate surgery is required to maintain life. It is recommended to comb the cat's coat every week and feed cat food that can help eliminate hair balls, which can reduce the escalation of the hair ball problem.

　2. Easily overweight

Indoor cats are 40% more likely to be overweight than cats who live outdoors. Being overweight can lead to mobility problems, as well as diabetes and various heart conditions.

Cats that live indoors spend most of their time eating and sleeping, and you can increase your cat's amount of exercise by playing games. At the same time, you also need to find a cat food that will neither gain weight nor weaken muscles to ensure that the cat does not gain weight.

3. Smelly stool

Lack of exercise can lead to indigestion, which can lead to intestinal imbalance and soft and smelly stools. To prevent this from happening, the protein in the food must be highly digestive safe, which reduces the fermentation of food in the colon and reduces unpleasant stool odor.

　4. Other questions

Shiny fur, healthy teeth and gums, and good litter odor are all things you need to care about for cats living indoors. If owners improve the quality of their food and give them rich nutrition, they will find that cats will become healthier and more beautiful, because high-quality cat food can lead to health and beauty.
