Must have meal for a Indie Cat
Indie cats thrive on a balanced diet of high-quality cat food that includes protein, fats, and essential nutrients. Their diet can consist of both dry kibble and wet food, tailored to their specific needs and preferences. They typically require 2 meals a day, spaced about 12 hours apart, to maintain energy and prevent overeating. Fresh water should always be availabl.
What to avoid?
When choosing commercial food for Indie cats, avoid artificial additives, excessive fillers like corn and soy, low-quality meat by-products, and high levels of sugar and salt. Opt for high-quality proteins, natural ingredients, and wholesome grains for the best health.
Organic homely food that your pet might love
Organic home-cooked meals for Indie cats should include high-quality proteins, small amounts of carbohydrates, and cat-safe vegetables. Add healthy fats and necessary supplements for balanced nutrition. Avoid toxic ingredients like onions and garlic.

- Supplements and food toppers should be added to home-cooked meals for cats to ensure they receive essential nutrients. Lysine, an essential amino acid, promotes a healthy coat and skin, helps prevent herpes outbreaks, and aids in calcium absorption for strong bones and joints. This helps support overall health
- Fish oil provides essential omega-3 fatty acids, which support a healthy coat, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being in Indie cats.

Essential Grooming and Care for Indie Cat
Grooming
Indie cats require minimal grooming due to their short coats. Weekly brushing helps remove loose hair and reduce shedding, while occasional baths may be needed for cleanliness. Regular nail trimming and ear cleaning should be done as needed to maintain overall hygiene.
Nail clipping & Paw care
Indie cats should have their nails clipped every 2-4 weeks to prevent overgrowth and discomfort. Regular paw care includes checking for debris and keeping the paws clean to avoid infections or matting around the pads.
Brush & Bath guide
Indie cats need minimal brushing, about once a week, to manage shedding and keep their coat smooth. Bathing is generally not required often, but occasional baths may be necessary if they get particularly dirty.
Ear Cleaning
Indie cats should have their ears checked and cleaned every 1-2 weeks to prevent wax buildup and infections. Use a vet-recommended ear cleaner and a cotton ball to gently wipe the outer ear.
Dental Care
Indie cats need their teeth brushed daily to prevent plaque buildup and dental issues. Regular vet check-ups every 6-12 months are also important for maintaining oral health and addressing any dental problems early.
