donkeymom, I wish I could help, but I don't grow orchids indoors . They need strong light , never direct sun, lots of water once a week and lightly in between, feed 1/4 strength fert once a week for me, but like I said our growing condition is different, I don't let my catts go completely dry, just almost completely dry ..
Aniko's advice is very easy and basic to follow. I'd go with that one, that's all you'll really need for now . You can also look around for cattleya culture on the net if you wish for more detailed info. Before you know it , you'll know your catts like the back of your handd. Good luck and happy growing.
