Cats are amazing creatures. They get a bad wrap from many, but with the right people they can be the most loving and affectionate animals in your life.
When bringing a cat into your home it is important to give them a room in the house that is their own and one they can escape to if they are ever feeling anxious or worried. This is where your cat safe haven can come in and save the day. A cat room is one of the brilliant ways to upgrade a spare room of your house, as well as give your cat a place they can truly call home.
Here are some of the ways you can make a room suited perfectly to your cat this year.
Break out the treats
The best way to build a haven for your pet is to hide treats in different parts of the room for them to find. Happy Treats can be hidden on shelves and in tunnels to give your cat things to look for in the room whole playing.
Keep it light
Make your cat room bright and sunny. Try to choose a room that has a window and has sunlight coming through during the day because cats love to look out of the window as well as sunbathe when it is warm.
Build vertically
One of the most important things you can do for your cat in their own room is make a cat run on the walls. Cats love to climb more than almost anything and they will spend a lot of their time climbing to the highest point they can. Build shelves and runs in your room, as well as adding box shelves and other features along the walls. To add some fun here you could paint these with a tiger pattern and it will provide the perfect play area for your cat.
Ensure hiding spots
The first thing you have to do in your room is ensure that there are some hiding places. This could be behind a sofa, under a bed, or any small space your cat can crawl into to feel safe. Cats like enclosed spaces and providing these in their cat room could be a great way to make them feel more at home and happier living with you.
Make it warm
Cats love to be warm and will often seek out radiators and heaters to keep them toasty. One of the things you can do in your cat room is hang a hammock on the radiator for them to sleep in, and ensure that there are plenty of blankets and cushions for them to curl up on and nap. Soft furnishings are important for an animal and cats will appreciate having comfortable places to sleep on during the day and the night.
Add lots of toys
Toys are a huge thing to consider if you want to keep your car happy and occupied. Every cat is different and you will need to learn what types of toys they love the most. They might love rods with bells on, furry mice, or even balls they can bat around the room. Make sure there are plenty of fun toys in the room and allow your cat to feel totally at home here.
