Tips to design an apartment, if you will have a cat

Where to put the tray? Most owners decide to put the tray in the house, which creates some problems with the interior planning. Many designers believe: the smell - an important part of interior decoration. The room can be furnished perfectly, but if there is an unpleasant smell in it, the impression will be hopelessly spoiled.

Many put the tray in the toilet or bathroom, but the designers are not advised to do it: you can not clean the toilet standing tray every 15 minutes, and odor will be present, no matter how hard you may try to maintain cleanliness.

It is also important to set boundaries - for example, just to give your pet understand that the bedroom is not running.

And because the bathroom and toilet - these are the places in the house, which often come not only you but your guests, the farther you keep litter box from people (and from things easily absorb smells - clothes, underwear), the better.

Basement - a good option, but the problem is that not everyone has it, and those who have a cellar, often turn it into additional living space. Our advice: better to put the tray in the pantry, which is rarely used, or in the free one of the rooms, which nothing and no one takes.

Ideally, you should make sure that the shelves in the pantry are somewhere in a meter from the floor. Do not store in the pantry linen and garments. Instead, use a closet for storage in sealed plastic boxes. Cover the floor Berber carpet (or other rigid carpeted floors) or cover it with mosaic tiles - this coating will delay the filler particles and will not let it spread through the house. If possible, make a hole in the wall and the door through which could get a cat.

Cats can get anywhere.

Many cope with this by offering special scratching posts for cats, which are often fully satisfy the need for animals in turning claws. But, although it is a good decision, very few people like to enjoy scratching posts as part of the interior. Besides, they do not always save the furniture from the cat's claws. If this is the problem, you can temporarily rearrange the scratching post in a different location, or cover it with something.

Make sure that your cat has been affordable and available space for feeding - and that kind of cat food does not cause you negative emotions every time you pass by.
