Necessities for Multiple Cat Homes Since you already have sleeping spots covered, we thought we’d mention a few other items that make life easier in multiple cat homes. There are even some great DIY projects for some of the following items that are worth checking out, too! Multiple Litter Boxes There’s no way around it, if you have more than one cat, you need more than one litter box. It is recommended that you provide a litter box per each cat, plus an additional one. Cats are private animals, and some will prefer having their own space to relieve themselves. While they may still share boxes, it’s best to have enough options around the house to keep things flowing smoothly and allow each cat the opportunity for privacy. Litter Mats Litter mats are a great way to keep litter mess outside the box down to a minimum. Cat litter is messy (especially clay litter), and it gets stuck to their paws and tracked outside the box. Not only that but it may also get flung outside the box when your cat is covering up their waste. With multiple cats, you’ll have multiple messes. A litter mat will catch a lot of the litter that makes its way out of the box so you can easily dispose of it rather than worrying about it being tracked all through the house. Toys Cats love to keep themselves entertained and there is no better way to keep them occupied than a wide variety of toys. This ranges from laser pointers, mouse toys, tunnels, wand toys, and more. Providing the cats in your home with toys for enrichment is a necessity, especially if you don’t want them to resort to normal household items to keep busy. Scratching Posts It’s natural for cats to sharpen their claws and with indoor cats, furniture, fabrics, and carpet tend to fall victim to this activity. When you have multiple cats, you will have a lot more claw sharpening going on. The best way to alleviate damage to the household is to redirect their attention by providing scratching posts. These posts are made from material that will entice them to scratch, so having these around will relieve some stress from you and your wallet. Cat Tree(s) Cat trees are great for multiple cat households because it gives cats a place up high to explore and relax if need be. This will help keep them from perching on furniture and counters. There is a wide variety of cat trees available on the market with different features, so you are sure to find one that suits your needs. There’s no harm in having more than one, either. Cat Carriers When you have more than one cat, you will want more than one carrier. You never know when you’ll need to bring your kitties along for a ride or will need to cart them off to the veterinarian for a dual appointment. Cats shouldn’t travel together in the same carrier for their own safety, so having one carrier for each cat is necessary. Pheromone Spray Pheromone sprays have grown increasingly popular over the last few years. They are sprays that can be misted into their air or on fabrics or used in a diffuser. These synthetic pheromones mimic the calming pheromones cats release when they are calm and happy. They can help provide relief in stressful situations. Chances are, you will run across a time when you’ll want to provide your cat some stress relief (car rides, moving, new additions to the house, etc.) and this is worth trying. Plenty of Food and Water Bowl It’s a good idea to provide each cat with its own food bowls, as some cats can get a bit hasty when it comes to sharing. This may not be necessary for all cats though, plenty of multiple cat homes have felines that get along just fine and can easily share. Automatic feeders and water fountains are great choices for homes with multiple cats. Food Storage Having a handy storage container for food is a must-have for cat owners. Some rotten kitties will try and eat their way through the bags, leaving you a mess to clean up. Having a secure storage container will allow you to stock up on food and keep it safe and well-protected until it’s time for dinner. Grooming Supplies Brushes and other grooming supplies such as flea combs and shampoo are great to have on hand. Regular brushing will provide some quality, one-on-one time with your cat which makes for a great bonding experience. Not just that, but keeping your cats brushed will help reduce excess hair on furniture and clothes from normal or seasonal shedding. Flea combs are good to have on hand to check for those dreaded pests, and bath supplies are always handy in case your cat gets too messy that their self-grooming won’t cut it. Cleaning Supplies Finally, make sure you keep some disinfectant spray, enzyme cleaners, towels, scrub brushes, and any other cleaning supplies of your choice on hand. Cats aren’t always the messiest of animals, but some like to hop up on counters and other surfaces, so you’ll want to disinfect. Accidents happen sometimes too, so having enzymatic cleaner on hand is a great idea to neutralize the odors and remove any stains.
Conclusion As you can see, there are plenty of creative ideas you can look to when you are ready to build your own cat bunk bed. These DIY projects range from simple to complex, so whether you are an experienced DIYer or just want to throw a bed together really quick, there’s something here that will work for you (and your cats.) Now as for who gets the top bunk, we’ll leave that for the cats to figure out. See also:
