You should always keep your cats as indoor animals. The average lifespan of an outdoor cat is 3-5 years, while an indoor only cat's average lifespan is 15-18 years. In addition to the dangers of being hit by cars; cats face cruelty from humans, death from predators, injury from other cats, and infections and disease from other cats.

What to do when your indoor cat was outside?

Assuming that the cat you are asking about has always been an indoor cat and never been outside then it depends on how long the cat was outside. If outside only briefly then a quick inspection of the cat by you to ensure the cat is ok will probably suffice. If outside for an extended period of time unsupervised, then a visit to the veternarian is probably a good idea. Have the Vet check to make sure all shots and vaccinations are current, there is no pregnacy, and whatever else is necessary for him to give the cat a clean bill of health..
