🐱 Cat in a flat 🐱

Indoors or outdoors? That's the question!😉

When you live in a flat, there are a few things to be conscious of to keep your cat safe. One of the benefits of keeping a cat in a flat is that you will not have the risk of it getting lost outside or running into a main road. Nevertheless, if you have a balcony, make sure there’s no easy exit route for your pet. Likewise, check that the windows in your flat are never open wide enough for your cat to squeeze through. Cats are curious, after all. Many people think that flats don’t offer enough space for cats to roam. However, with some clever furniture arrangement and the proper attention, you can keep your cat happy and safe in your flat. Where possible, arrange your furniture against the walls, leaving plenty of floor space for your cat to wander, play and snooze. You’ll also want to keep an eye on any trailing cables or low-hanging breakables. As well as the trip-hazard of cables and the risk of precariously placed treasures being damaged by a playful cat, cat owners should watch out for houseplants. Introducing plants to your home can help boost your mood, improve the air quality and add some colour. For indoor cats though, houseplants can be an inviting alternative to grass or bushes. Remove the temptation for your cat to chew or toilet on your plants by keeping these out of reach. It’s also no secret that a number of popular houseplants are poisonous to cats, so always double check before you buy one.
