Cats thrive in a home environment that is safe and comfortable. Here are some ways to make your home a haven for your furball:

Cats need to have hiding places where they can retreat to escape from the overzealous attention of other pets or humans in the household. Some excellent options include cat trees, cat carriers, cardboard boxes, or soft tents.

Cats like to stay in elevated spaces so they can keep track of what’s happening in their environment while taking a break. Sturdy cat trees can adequately serve this need. You can also install a window perch or free some space on bookshelves.

There are various calming products that are formulated with scents or natural chemicals that can exert a calming effect on stressed cats.  

If you have a multi-cat household, make sure the resources are enough for everyone’s needs. These include litter boxes (number of cats plus 1), individual food and water bowls, and many places for resting and hiding. Pet owners should also make time to play and interact with each cat.
