7. Cats that live indoors don’t get sick at all

Yeah, cats that spend most of their time outdoors are more likely to get sick and contract different germs and diseases. They might bite infected prey or get into fights with stray cats. This is a big risk.

But this doesn’t mean that indoor cats cannot get sick and are immune to any illness. Actually, the Cat Fanciers’ Association found out that cats that live indoors are more exposed to airborne germs that their owner might bring in on their coats.

Cats can get sick if they eat insects that carry diseases. Talk to your vet about the preventive treatments that your cat can get to keep them and your family safe.

Also, if your feline friend is an indoor cat, the lack of exercise can lead to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, or arthritis.
