Question

Can an outdoor cats fur thin out when she becomes indoor only & if so how long would that take? Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | spayed | 5 years and 11 months old

No, normally there should not be any noticeable change in a cat's hair coat regardless of whether she lives indoors or outdoors. Coat length and thickness are mainly determined by genetics, not the cat's living environment :)
