These are not your kids safe spaces! Lets talk about it.
Creating a Safe Haven for Your Cat:
Definition of a Refuge:
A refuge is a secluded area of the home where your cat can access all her necessities, such as food, water, a litter box, a scratching post, a perch, and toys.
It should be a place where your cat feels safe and comfortable, such as a bedroom or back room.
Purpose of the Refuge:
The refuge serves as a quiet retreat where your cat can go when she needs alone time.
It should be a space where your cat can come and go freely, without being disturbed by other household members, including people and pets.
Enhancing the Refuge:
Leaving a radio or TV on in the refuge can help muffle sounds that may startle your cat.
The radio or TV can also provide human voices for your cat to associate with safety.
Using Feliway spray or a Feliway Diffuser in the refuge can help create a sense of safety and comfort for your cat.
Conclusion:
Creating a refuge for your cat is important to provide her with a safe and comfortable space where she can relax and feel secure.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your cat's refuge is a welcoming and calming environment for her.
