At times, pets may find it hard to adapt to sudden change of environment after being adopted. This can later affect their mental and physical health. Your cat’s mood greatly depends on the kind of lifestyle offered. Each cat has its own likes, dislikes and personality. It is vital for the owner to judge and arrange cat friendly home facilities according to their pet’s particular needs and wants.
To make them feel welcome, you can make slight changes to your home and the cat’s place which won’t influence you, but can change the cat’s daily routine drastically. Here are 5 suggestions and changes you can opt for cat friendly home!
Give them windows
Cats love to see the outside world. Observing people, plants and animals, they like to expand their habits and catch actions of the outside world. Windows are great exposure and a source of sunlight and warmth. Make sure that the windows have a lock, though! You do not want your pet escaping, intrigued by the bee outside.
Expand their space
Did you know that cats love vertical spaces? Give them an area with good height. You can add a special ‘cat house’, or something to climb! They also love sitting on the highest point. Cat owners say that they often find their pet on top of cupboards (and it is still a secret how they get there).
Greens are your friends
To give pets a more natural, comfortable environment to live in, it is advised to add indoor plants. You can make a ‘wall of vines’ to let them play with it. However, it is important to set them up at a certain height. Cats get too engrossed with the leaves, as most hanging things catch their interests. One way to keep pots in a presentable and cat-friendly way is to put them on top of a stool!
The quieter, the better
Cats have sensitive ears, even better than the hearing of dogs! It is crucial for a cat owner to provide cats with a peaceful area to live in. Most owners give quiet corners as their hideaway and a place away from their rooms for cats to sleep. This ensures a positive mood of cats throughout the day as they often get annoyed even by the slightest noise.
Sleep, play and eat
That’s all what cats do, right? Well, as their owner, you have the responsibility to make these three activities fun and enjoyable. We recommend gifting them soft, cushiony homes and safe toys to play with. Chewing knot balls, cotton ropes, soft toys and feather toys are some recommendations!
Remember that solace and connection are the major keys in building a good relationship with your pet. Make sure to remind them how much they mean to you often, by simply adding a couple of extra treats in the bowl!
