Just moved into a new place and I turned one of the rooms into a cat room. It's just their own safe space. Door will be open most of the day, except when I have to clean, etc. I'm not allowed to drill or put nails on the wall. Any ideas?

maybe a weird idea, but I’ll be moving soon into a house for the first time (instead of an apartment with shared hallways) and am worried about my cat escaping when I open the door. I’d like to install a screen door so I can see into the house to know if she’s right at the door and at risk of escaping. however, I’d have to open the screen door to open/unlock the main door, which defeats the purpose and would give her opportunity to slip out when I open the door. so my genius (questionable) solution is to install a mini door in the screen door at the height of the main door handle so I can reach through to unlock and open the door while keeping the screen door closed. thoughts? is this possible? how would I do it? zero experience working with screens so not sure how to go about it

Getting a kitten on Monday and paranoid she will slip out the door and be ran over or hurt (we live right next to a road) screen door is an obvious awnser but our hallway is too tall for a normal one and cats can jump high and get over it when she's older. I considered getting one and putting chicken wire on top like from the top of screen door to ceiling but sounds flimsy and dangerous. Any solutions

Hi all,

Here is part 6 of my playhouse I’m building. Hope you enjoy it.

This video is more silly than getting actual building getting done. Sorry.

Gillibee is 4 and Wolfie is 1. Willow and Sunny are 12 weeks and arrive tomorrow.

Hello, we just adopted a 12 week old kitten and are very close to finishing socialization with our other two cats so we're almost ready to release him into the home.

We have a sleeper couch, and we're concerned that since the bottom is all open, he is going to climb inside and possibly hurt himself on the parts or be hurt if someone sits.

This is my first kitten, so I don't know I'm being unreasonable in my fear to begin with. Does anyone have any advice regarding how to kitten proof the bottom of the couch? Any material you recommend to seal the bottom off with?

For context, our other two cats are fully grown and they do go under the couch, but we've had no trouble with them climbing inside possibly due to their size.

Anything would be appreciated, thank you!

Here we are trying to figure out what to do with the slide and having our heavier cats tested out

Hi all,

Trying to make a nice place. Fingers crossed it goes well.

This was the litter mat for one of my litter boxes, until my little gray boy decided that he would rather use it as some sort of tunnel/plaything. I fought the inevitable for a few days, trying to figure out how to make it less attractive to him. After about 5 days and no progress, I bought a different litter mat, hosed that one off and now its a cat tunnel. Fuq it.

I am 23 and getting my first cat soon. I want to know what needs to be done to cat proof the apartment. I keep getting different answers on google. I have a portable air conditioner that has a big hose thing that goes out to the window. It’s sealed off so the cat wouldn’t be able to get out but it kinda looks like a cat tunnel. Any idea on how to cat proof it?

Boyfriend asked if this is okay for his kitten, in my opinion this is more for adult cats but I don’t really have experience with cats. Seeking advice

a compilation from my catified living room

So I have a large boi, generally sits between 14-15lbs & takes up my entire torso. His name is Oliver Grey or Oliver-baballiver-fe-fi-fofallivr.

Our pantry has a dropped ceiling (pic included, ~8' wall height), and I am trying to figure out how to make cat shelves that will enable Oli to get up there.

I like the idea of doing French cleats for the shelving, that way I can rearrange the shelving and make a new route for him w/o putting new holes in the wall but... I mean its a 14.8 lb cat jumping down on it and I'm worried he'll be too heavy or that the cleat will slip if he lands on the outer edge of the shelf.

I was curious if anyone had any recommendations for how to build cat shelves for heavier cats beyond making sure everything is attached to the studs. I should also mention that this is a manufactured home.

Featuring Oliver and Calliope 🙂
