Are American Shorthair cats good indoor cats?

Yes, American Shorthair cats are good indoor cats, generally adapting well and thriving inside. Keeping American Shorthairs indoors helps protect them from outdoor dangers such as traffic, predators, and diseases and reduces the risk of accidents and injuries. 

To ensure American Shorthair cats are happy and fulfilled indoors, give them plenty of mental and physical stimulation through interactive playtime, climbing structures, scratching posts, and toys to satisfy their natural instincts and keep them active and engaged. Cats who live indoors without opportunities to pursue prey can still practice their hunting behaviors; they might enjoy chasing toys, pouncing on moving objects and engaging in interactive play that mimics hunting behavior.
