Ways to Cat Proof Your Home

Bringing a cat into your home is an exciting and rewarding experience. However, it’s important to ensure that your living space is safe and cat-friendly. In this article, we will explore ten essential ways to cat-proof your home, providing a secure and stimulating environment for your feline companion.

Secure Windows and Balconies: Cats are naturally curious and agile creatures, making it crucial to secure windows and balconies to prevent accidents. Install sturdy screens or window guards to prevent your cat from falling or escaping. Ensure that balcony railings are close enough together to prevent your cat from squeezing through or getting stuck.

Conceal cords behind furniture or use cord covers to keep them out of your cat’s reach. Alternatively, you can use cord organizers or tape cords to baseboards to minimize the risk of chewing.
