A cat-friendly home does not have to look like a pet shop. Most of what cats want is height, sight lines, warmth and somewhere to disappear when the doorbell rings.
Think in three dimensions
- One or two high resting spots per cat
- A window view with a stable surface to sit on
- A covered hiding place at floor level
- Scratching surfaces near the places your cat already scratches
Plants and hazards
Several common houseplants are toxic to cats. Check any plant against a current veterinary toxic plant list before bringing it home, and contact your vet or an animal poison service immediately if you suspect ingestion.
