Indoor Cat Food

Indoor cat food is made for cats that live inside and move less than a cat with a garden to patrol. The usual approach is fewer calories per serve and more fibre, which helps with fullness and with hairballs, and some recipes add ingredients aimed at reducing litter tray odour. This page gathers indoor recipes from Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Wellness Core, Black Hawk, PRO PLAN, Ivory Coat, SavourLife and ADVANCE.

Indoor is a lifestyle, not a life stage

Pick the age band as well as the lifestyle. Hill's Science Diet runs from Indoor Kitten through Adult Indoor to Adult 7+ and 11+ Senior Indoor, and Royal Canin makes Indoor and Indoor 7+ as both kibble and wet food. A kitten should stay on a growth formula for its first year even if it never goes outside.

Dry, wet or both

A cat on kibble alone can drink less than it needs, and a less active cat puts weight on easily. Adding wet food to the day brings in moisture and makes portions easier to manage. Several ranges here come as matching dry and wet recipes, including Royal Canin Indoor, Black Hawk Healthy Benefits Indoor, Ivory Coat Indoor & Hairball and SavourLife Indoor & Hairball Control, so you can mix the two without changing brand.

Portions

Weigh the daily amount against the feeding guide for your cat's ideal weight rather than its current weight, and adjust if it starts to gain. Change foods over about a week.
