1- Feed your cat "Indoor Cat" food. This can be any brand so long as your cat seems to enjoy it. Be sure to measure the cat's daily food and feed according to package instructions. If your cat will eat it all in one sitting, split it up into 2-3 feedings per day.
2 - Give your cat "Weight Control" formula or a special type of food if your vet asks you to do so. Cats can have a tendency to be overweight when they are indoors all the time. They do not get as much exercise.
3- Brush your cat. If you start when they are younger, they usually tend to at least tolerate it. Some even love it and will purr and roll over to show gratitude. Brushing also fends off hair balls and is absolutely necessary for long-haired cats.
4- Wash cat as needed. Use Cat Shampoo and stay away from their eyes. They do not like water, so do it only as needed or give them a sponge bath.
5- Feed your cat treats, especially as a reward for desired behavior. Use the tartar control treats to clean their teeth. Give them these treats according to their weight and package instructions.
6- Change the cat's water 3-4 times per week or if it gets dirty. You may want to purchase a self-watering and self-feeding station for the cat, especially if you are not home much or are busy.
