So how can you make your home better for your little cat?
1. Make sure your cat has it's own things!
Each cat should have its own toys, tree, scratching posts, and place to hide/sleep.
Sure, some cats share great, but for many, this can be a HUGE source of stress.

1. Never declaw your cat.
This procedure is painful to the cats, affects how they walk, and can cause lifetime problems.
It’s straight up illegal most places in the world.
When you declaw your cat you AMPUTATE their toes.
This should be stopped NOW.
2. Let your cat scratch.
It’s part of their natural instinct and keeps their claws in good shape.
Some cats love to scratch HIGH, so have a tall sturdy scratch post.
Some cats love to scratch horizontal.
Watch what your cat does and provide them with sturdy posts.
