Dream Territory for an Indoor Cat

All a cat wants is space. So in order to make everyone happy, create a space that is cat friendly if you can. Here are some suggestions that I read in a book titled "Kittens" by Author Brigitte Eilert-Overbeck. All cats like to be under things may it be a blanket, bed covers, tablecloths that hang to the floor, behind curtains. They also like to look down on everything. High places are the best, the tops of cupboards, high dressers, book shelves and such. In order to create safe places, make sure that if the kitty likes high places that the spots are clear of breakables and special items that you like, as things that go bump in the night knock things over. If you can some cats like to go outside, but this has certain dangers. The best options are a leash with a breakaway collar, and you on hand to make sure they are safe. Another option would be to make an enclosure out of chicken wire, big enough so as not to make them feel confined. Kittys like tall scratching posts that they can climb on and stretch. Also fleece blankets on the back of a couch is really appreciated. Sometimes your favorite chair is the most comfortable spot in the house, and your cat just wants you to deal with it. And on that note we would like to leave you this thought by Italo Calvino....... The city of CATS and the city of MEN exist one inside the other, but they are not the same city.
