Cineálacha éagsúla tithe agus casta súgartha do kittens, cait agus cait lena lámha féin

Those who have a cat in the house know very well that this is a completely independent animal. Unlike dogs, although they love their owners, they maintain a certain distance. Cats are always trying to get into some secret places of the apartment and make their own home there. In order for the pet not to have to look for a corner for solitude, you can build a house for him with your own hands.

Why does a cat need a house

You can often see pets sleeping in boxes or carrying baskets. Their claws they sharpen on carpets or furniture. The owners have to endure these pranks. However, you can find a way out and make a comfortable house for the cat with your own hands.

• You can even come up with a whole complex in which there will be a sleeping place for a cat, a space for games, a comfortable scratching post.
• Even in the simplest house made out of a box, the pet will be able to retire and relax. And the need to lie down on the master’s pillow will disappear by itself.
• A house or complex can be aesthetic, so it can be used to decorate the interior of any room in an apartment.

What should be a house for a cat

The house can be of the most diverse form, however, it is better to give preference to the usual form with four walls. It can be made from a variety of materials: old carpet, wood, plywood, cardboard, and so on. Everything depends on fantasy.

1. Only absolutely safe and natural materials should be used.
2. Cats have a delicate sense of smell, therefore, if glue is used, then organic solvents that do not have a strong odor must be included in its composition.
3. If a structure is to be built, it must be stable. Cats will not climb onto a staggering product.
4. The sizes will need to be chosen in such a way that the pet can easily stretch and nothing interferes with it.
5. If a design with a tower is provided, then its optimal height should be no more than one hundred and twenty centimeters. On such a tower, the animal will be able to safely jump and observe the surroundings.
6. It is necessary to ensure that after the construction of the dwelling is completed, there are no nails, staples or screws left that the cat can get hurt on.

It is recommended to make a house or play structure from materials that can be easily washed.
