Indoor cats are cats that live exclusively or mostly inside a home or an apartment. Indoor cats may have various reasons for staying indoors, such as safety, health, or preference. Indoor cats need physical and mental stimulation to reduce stress and boredom, as well as regular grooming and veterinary care. Indoor cats can be of any breed, but some breeds are more suited for indoor living than others. Some of the best indoor cat breeds are:
