Creating a “cat room”

Fight the urge to cluster all of your cat’s accessories—from scratching posts to perches to beds—in one designated “cat room.” According to The Cat Whisperer, scattering pet paraphernalia around the house more accurately reflects conditions in the wild, and creates what she calls a “land of plenty”—an atmosphere that reduces competition between cats. She even recommends separating the food bowl from the water dish, as cats instinctively avoid water near dead prey, which in the wild would likely be contaminated with bacteria.

Buying a covered litter box

Unlike humans, cats don’t need privacy in order to do their business. In fact, according to Nagelschneider, the complete opposite is true. “In nature, cats don’t urinate in hollowed-out logs or behind bushes,” she says. Instead, they’ll opt for a relatively exposed, open location that affords them a good view of potential predators. “They always need to have a good escape route handy,” she says. Indoors, that translates into a litter box that’s open on all sides.
