I would get them a senior cat food to feed the senior cats. Brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I would not be surprised if these cats want to go outside, as they have been used to going outside. I would get a cat tree and place it by a window so they can sit on it and look out. Get some toys as well to play with, and be sure to feed them according to the instructions on their bag of food. Being indoors they won't have as much exercise as outdoors, and you don't want them to become overweight. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
