Basic Indoor Cat Needs
To enhance the well-being of indoor cats, we've created a "resource checklist" along with recommendations for implementing positive changes.
Understanding cats is easy, we just need to know how they live in their natural environment, and then make sure we meet their needs. Outdoors, cats hunt for food, hide from predators (often by climbing), and defend their home territories. Indoors, these behaviors may look hostile (biting and scratching) or spiteful (climbing and marking), and we may not like them.
