Why You Should Commit To Meeting Your Cat’s Basic Needs


In order to live happily, cats need enough resources to eat, drink, pee/poop, claw/scratch, play, rest, and sleep well. If you can, provide these resources in different areas of the house (and separate from each other). As solitary animals, cats need to access these items away from other cats and potential threats. Here are some benefits when you make these resources available in multiple locations:


●It enlarges their habitat and satisfies your cats' need to explore and exercise.

●It decreases stress (which can be caused by feeding competition in a multi-cat house), as well as the diseases brought by this stress.

●Placing food and water in separate locations encourages cats to drink more water, which is healthy for them.


It'll be great if you can use outdoor locations— a fountain-like mechanism as a source of water, a tranquil area with sandy/soil surface for pooping, and many more. Just be sure that other animals outside shouldn't have access to your cat's food.
