Indoor-only living protects cats from traffic, infectious disease exposure, fights, falls, and many city hazards. Indoor cats still need stimulation. A cat’s day is naturally built around short bursts of activity. They stalk, pounce, climb, groom, patrol, eat, rest, and repeat. When life becomes too predictable, some cats cope by sleeping too much. Others demand attention at night, scratch furniture, chase ankles, bully another pet, or start toileting outside the tray.
