How to feed an indoor cat

Indoor cats may be left alone for extended periods of time. Our range of cat food includes a complete dry food which is perfect for cats that will relish their independence and love doing their own thing all day. They may not have nature, trees and all the elements of the great outdoors to keep them active, but they will still need to maintain their agility and muscle tone to leap from your bed, kitchen counter or armchairs.

Dry cat food is ideal for indoor cats. It can be left for long periods of time, as it contains very low levels of moisture so you can have the peace of mind that it will not go off. Our dry cat food range is complete, and contains all of the protein and vitamins that your indoor cat needs to thrive. Combined with our protein rich wet cat food, your indoor cat will be healthy and happy.

If your indoor cat is neutered, remember to keep an eye on portion sizes and feeding times. The act of neutering can impact your cat’s activity levels overall, which means they can be susceptible to weight gain. This means their diet should be carefully monitored to reflect this.

Encore- The best cat food for indoor cats

With Encore’s wet and dry cat food range, it is easy for you to see the quantity of food your indoor cat will require as each tin or pack has a handy feeding guide at the back. Cats love a mixture of wet and dry food in their diets; our wet food pouches mixed with Encore dry cat food provide the perfect balance in your cat’s diet. If you choose our fish selection, your cat will also get all of the omega 3 oils needed to stay healthy.

When it comes to how much dry cat food your cat should have to nibble on throughout the day, it depends on how long you are intending to be out for. We would advise leaving a generous amount, so that your cat has the freedom to graze whenever they like.

If you are looking for the best indoor kitten food, and are uncertain about which one to choose, try Encore. Our recipes are suitable for young cats as well. To give your indoor kitten the best possible start in life they need lots of protein-rich cuts of lean meat – Encore food contains up to 75% real meat, much more than other brands.

Just because your cat won’t be outside hunting, doesn’t mean their indoor diet can’t be as close to the food they would eat in the wild. Give them Encore and they’ll get the high protein and nutrient-rich diet they need, naturally.
