Cat-Friendly Decorating Tips
Get a Scratching Post
Scratching is a cat’s one of the basic needs. During the day, a cat goes to its scratching post several times. If you do not have a scratching post, your cats will check your furniture or carpets. We suppose you do not want your cat to scratch your furniture. Therefore, you should have to keep at least one scratching post in your house in order to maintain cat-friendly decor.
Choose the Right Type of Furniture
Furniture is one of the most critical criteria in cat-friendly interior design. Because, firstly, your cat will want to scratch your furniture if the fabric is a feather, tweed, etc. Instead of choosing fabrics that your cat can catch and scratch, choose wooden or metal materials. The sitting area can be a textile, but be sure that the legs of your furniture are wooden or metal.
Secondly, if the textile of the sitting area is velvet, you will have problems cleaning your furniture. Because velvet pulls cat furs a lot. In order to clean your furniture without trouble, you can get furniture made from other fabrics.
Thirdly, if you do not choose the right color, you will constantly see cat fur all over your sofa. For example, if your cat is yellow, choose bright colors. However, if your cat’s color is darker, you should choose darker tones.
Buy a Comfy Litter Box
A litter box is one of the most important things that you should have for your cat-friendly decor. According to your cat’s height and weight, you should choose the right litter box. If your cat is fat, or tall, you should choose a litter box with bigger dimensions.
Secondly, you should clean your litter box at least once a day. If your cat does not feel comfortable with its litter box, your cat may refuse to use the litter box. Instead, it may use your rugs or furniture as its toilet.
Protect Your Shelves or Cabinets
Cats are curious animals. They like to search, sniff, and play with the items they see. Sometimes you may see your cat playing with yours and eating your dried fruit just because you forget to cover your shelves. In order to avoid undesirable situations, you should protect your shelves. If you cannot turn your shelves into cabinets, you should close the doors of these rooms containing open shelves. Protecting your stuff is one of the vital steps for home decor tips.
Create an Area Just for Your Cat
Cats are territorial animals. If they mark somewhere as their territory, they like to spend time in that place. Therefore, you should create an area just for your cat. For example, you can buy a cat tower where your cat can watch outside, sleep, scratch, and play by itself. Cat towers are quite useful and good-looking in cat-friendly home decor.
Avoid House Plants
Unfortunately, cats tend to eat houseplants. Yes, we know houseplants are always recommended when listing home decor tips. However, if your cat eats your plant, the look of the plant will not be as good as you wish.
Secondly, some of the houseplants are poisonous to cats. If you insist on having house plants, avoid having lilies, eucalyptus, jade, milkweed, daffodils, hyacinths, mistletoe, mandrake, azaleas, etc.
