Checklist

Cats need spaces where they can rest, climb, hide, and observe their surroundings. Creating an environment that allows natural behaviours such as scratching, climbing, and exploring helps keep cats happy and reduces stress.

Cat Beds and Blankets 

Cats require a comfortable space to relax and sleep. Most cats enjoy having several sleeping spots throughout the home. Soft beds, cosy blankets, and covered hideaways give them places to feel secure and comfortable. Position beds in quiet, warm areas away from heavy foot traffic. Blankets are a good way of making a cat bed even cosier or for putting ontop of furniture.

Cat trees and climbing furniture 

Cats naturally love to climb and observe their environment from above. Cat trees, shelves, and window perches provide exercise, enrichment, and safe places to rest. Vertical space is especially important for indoor cats.

Cat food and water bowls

Many cats prefer wide, shallow bowls to avoid whisker fatigue. Stainless steel and ceramic options are hygienic and easy to clean.

Enrichment

Mental stimulation is vital for cats, particularly indoor cats. Enrichment encourages natural behaviours such as hunting, climbing, scratching, and problem-solving, helping to prevent boredom and unwanted behaviours. Enrichment includes cat toys, climbing, bordeom breakers or outdoor exploring.

Litter boxes

The general rule is to provide one litter tray per cat, plus one extra. Place trays in quiet, accessible locations and clean them regularly to encourage good litter habits. Choosing the right litter can also make a significant difference to your cat's comfort.

Summer essentials

Cats can struggle in hot weather, so keeping them cool is essential. Cooling mats, elevated beds, frozen treats, and portable water bottles can all help during warmer months. Always provide shade and fresh water and be aware of the signs of overheating, including excessive panting, lethargy, and drooling.
