That catio sounds like a great idea. Your videos are the best

I think its fascinating how little you really have to do to keep a cat happy. Elevated places? A shelf by the couch to a cat tree or bookshelf. You can gradually work that out across your house if you've the mind to, but we all have to start somewhere. A decent litterbox with litter they are happy with, in a place easy to get to, and out of the way? We all have a back corner in the bedroom or most living rooms one can be tucked in gently that's out the way, but easy to reach. Entertainment? Easy. Ways to perch in the window, maybe a bird feeder or two. Let them watch you do things, let them examine them. . .some play and you're pretty much set.

Obviously age, energy levels and health have to be brought into the equation. . .but it doesn't take much. . .and they show their appreciation in so many ways. My boys haven't even bothered my Christmas Village pieces from my grandmother beyond a sniff and attempted nibble. . .none of the smaller pieces have been found on the floor. . .they occasionally jump up by it, but don't actively seek to destroy it. . .not really trying to 'destroy' the Christmas tree either. ..they just like playing rough around it. . .and trying to bound at each over the lower branches. I think next year I'm hanging toys on the lower branches for them to mess with since neither is climbing the thing.

My girl cat Salem enjoys a very catified house, I have all of your tips employed here. I'm considering building a screened in catio area in my back yard next Spring for her to spend some time outside. She loves watching birds!

Some of the best advice in the Galaxy!

We screened in our back porch for our cat. Then with bird houses, bird feeders and a bird bath in the yard, it is very entertaining for him, watching birds and squirrels. Inside J like to get creative with card board boxes. I make cat houses, by cutting out a door and windows. He likes to hide and swat at us as we walk by. Dallas is a great cat.

My house is 99% catification, 1% for me 😂😂 it is what it. I’m always seeing what I can do to make them as happy as they can be.

Don't shine laser pointers into anyone's eyes including your pets. It can cause eye damage.

I made sure to catify my apartment. When my gf first came over she said it feels like the cats live here and I, the human, am more of a guest lol but she can’t argue that my cats are the most friendly, happiest cats in the world

I have a question that maybe you could cover in a future video: What is the best way to help your cat(s) feel safe in an apartment or apartment-like situation, where there are often lots of unexpected, potentially loud, noises from unidentifiable sources and/or recover a sense of safety after moving out of that sort of environment? My cats grew up in a house, where things were relatively quiet and any loud noises could be traced to a source for the most part. After moving into a noisy apartment complex for a couple of years, they became rather fearful. This jumpiness has lingered even after I moved back into a home in a quiet neighborhood. I would love to put their anxieties at ease!

My cat is a stray that has been outdoors for most of his life. The vet said he’s 5. He got diagnosed with megacolon so we have to keep him indoors from now on. He is uninterested in the cat stuff we get him and keeps meowing to go outside for 24 days now.. i feel so bad he lost his freedom but i will give him a long healthy life. I am hoping he will give in and start liking the cat trees, toys, and all i got him. So glad he already knows how to use the litter. I think i’m gonna have to train him to be on a leash so he can still explore monitored by me. He’s so sweet ans purrs at scratches and food everytime but hasnt given up crying at the doors and windows for the outdoors.

I use two litter boxes for 2 cats one in my bedroom and one in my hallway even when I had 3 and 4 cats, it was okay, it is cheaper for me to maintain my tidy cat unscented at 40.00 dollars. It cost me almost one container to fill 2 boxes. I can’t afford so many boxes to fill up. As far as in the kitchen and bathroom that’s not appropriate for me. They get can food Nulo which makes them go less.

This multiple litter box never worked for us, I generally only have 1 cat at a time but every single one learned from me that the kitchen is the eating place, the bedroom is the sleeping place and the bathroom is the potty place. And because I never do my business in the living room, nor do they. Sure if I move the single one litter box they will find it, but every time we had multiple litter boxes they just stuck to the one in the bathroom.Monkey see monkey does, well, human does cat does in this case. 😸
