A plain, open box without high sides in a location that isn’t cornered can make all the difference. 🐈⬛* Scratching Post Essentials: Invest in a sturdy, tall (at least three feet), and sisal-wrapped scratching post. This setup encourages natural scratching behavior without damaging your furniture. 🪵* Peaceful Introductions: When introducing a new cat to your household, use a step-by-step approach with scent swapping and controlled visual exposure to ease the transition. 🚪* Addressing Behavioral Issues: For cats disrupting your sleep or overly seeking attention, engage in interactive play sessions that mimic hunting before bed. This can help reset their internal clock and reduce nighttime restlessness. 🌛* Utilize Puzzle Feeders: Keep puzzle feeders handy for early morning wake-ups or to keep your cat entertained while you're away. These encourage natural hunting instincts and keep your cat mentally stimulated. 🧩🎤 About Dr. Rachel Geller: Dr. Rachel is the heart and soul behind All Cats All The Time, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit aimed at reducing cat surrender through behavior counseling.
