I have a house cat. I never let him outside. He's had all his shots and has been neutered. My house is safe from harmful chemicals. He's well loved, spoiled some might even say.

once a year for the normal vaccienes (sp) and testing he may not be exposed to "harmful" things but it's really good to keep them updated with thieir shots incase one day he got out or even another cat got in! or if you had to put him in a kennel if you had to go away for an emergency he would need to be updated in shots, then you'd just have a hard time finding something last minute (if you needed it)
Then you really don't need to worry about any vet visits in the near future, unless something unfortunate should happen. Once they've had all they're shots, it usually just becomes a yearly routine of keeping up with the shots. However, your vet should of informed you on whatever check ups need to be done and when. I have a cat too, lives inside and just got neutered, and after my last visit my vet said, see ya next year!
It really depends on the age of your cat. Typically once a year. If your cat is older and seems sick, I would do it every six months or so. I have two cats that dont go outside either, and I havent taken them to the vets in awhile.
One year for a healthy adult cat. Kittens and elderly cats should have a more frequent visits. The visits should just be routine shots for things like rabies, and general heath check-ups. If your vet suggests less than you should find another vet if possible. If more than you should get a complete explanation, and it should be in real english not in technical jargon, or find another vet.
Being an in door cat, has all shots, is well, then about once a year just to give him a good check-up, usually the vet feels for any lumps, checks his mouth ans teeth etc. and keep on spoiling him, kittys are so precious.
It is good to have him taking once a year even though he is a house cat if he manages to get outside he will be at risk for rabies and other feline problems.
Once a year for a checkup and his vaccines. Even as an indoor cat he should get the vaccinations.
Only when he's ill, apart from for routine vaccinations. Possibly for flea and worm treatment; sometimes the vet wants to see the cat before he prescribes.
