The most important thing you can do to keep your cat healthy is to keep it indoors, say vets. “A cat going outside can get hit by a car; she can get infectious diseases like feline leukemia and feline AIDS; she can get fleas, ticks, and get into cat fights. And then there are coyotes,” says Woltz. Here, some top tips:
• Maintain a healthy weight with a balanced diet and fresh water
• Keep the litter box clean
• Make sure she has annual checkups and core vaccines
• Don’t let the cat out
