I have an indoor cat an my new apartment is dark, and on the bottom level so I am no so inclined to open up the blinds to all. Invite a break in. Besides when it is hot, I can not open the blinds. at all. My question is, should I be concered my little girl is getting enough sunlight? Vitamins A & D. If so, can I give her safe supplements?

It doesn’t hurt your cat to be in the dark as much as you might worry. Cats, of all kinds are nocturnal by nature. You see more strays out at night then you ever will during the daytime. That doesn’t mean she couldn’t use some sunlight more often. If you are concerned about supplements give a local vet a call and ask them about it. From my experiance they will be happy to offer advise or answer any of your concerns. Also it isn’t as if you have her locked in a closet. My cat is happiest at night and is healthy. He likes to prowl around my apartment in the dark, after all cats can see in the dark unlike us.
Well , as a matter of fact feline can only produce vitamin D via sunlight . even in the case you feed her such vitamin the body wont absorb as much vitamin D as it needs dimply because their body is designed in a way that they produce vitamin D by themselves via sunlight .
Thus I would say just open the blinds occasionally and your girl will take a sunbath . once a week or something would be enough enough . do it the way you like and the time you think is better but just do it . she needs that .
Hope it helps , and best wishes for your precious angel!
supplements are good anyway.
