Does your home actually work for your cat?

A territory is not a collection of cat products.

What matters is access, choice, safe routes, hiding places and resources your cat can truly use.

M/03 — QUICK TERRITORY AUDIT

Eight things worth looking at.

Answer from what your cat actually uses, not what is theoretically available.

M/01

Does your cat have at least one genuinely usable elevated observation point?

M/02

Can your cat retreat somewhere quiet without being followed or disturbed?

M/03

Are litter trays easy to reach and away from stressful bottlenecks?

M/04

Is fresh water available in a calm, accessible place?

M/05

Is there at least one stable scratching surface where your cat naturally passes?

M/06

Can your cat move between key areas without repeatedly crossing another animal’s space?

M/07

Are there comfortable resting places in more than one type of location?

M/08

Can your cat choose between open, hidden, high and low spaces?
