2. Install a cat climbing wall

Installing a cat climbing wall offers several benefits for both you and your feline friend. It not only provides an excellent outlet for your cat’s natural climbing instincts and helps them stay active, which is essential for their physical health and weight management, but also engages your cat’s mind, reducing boredom and preventing destructive behaviours.

It also offers a way for them to express their natural curiosity and problem-solving skills. You can find a variety of stylish design to occupy your kitty from climbing shelves, hammocks and cat trees.

3. Incorporate Artificial Plants

So you’ve adopted a rescue cat that’s started coming out of her shell. She loves to perch on your windowsill and soak up the sun’s warmth. But as she explores her surroundings, you notice her curiosity piquing next to every plant and flower in the house. If you’re like most homeowners, you’ll likely have one or two of the most common houseplants like lilies, pothos, and philodendrons. While these look beautiful, they can be toxic to pets. Suddenly, your kitten’s nibbling isn’t so cute.

If you’d still like to have some greenery in your home without compromising the health and well-being of your pets, opt for artificial plants. Faux plants are a good alternative because they won’t harm your pet but will still bring beauty. To ensure you won’t get any paws on your fauxliege, get artificial hanging plants and hang them so high that even a jumping champion cat couldn’t get to them.

4. Match the Fabric Colour and the Pet Fur

We get it – some of us don’t have the money to upholster our entire furniture to make sure it’s resistant to staining. Luckily, there are still options out there to make things easier for you, especially if you want to switch out the fabric colour.

Choosing furniture or bedding in colours that match or camouflage pet fur can make a world of difference in maintaining a tidy home. In most cases, fabrics in shades of grey, brown, or patterns that blend with your pet’s coat, can minimise the appearance of your pet’s hair shedding between cleans.

As a result, you can enjoy spending more time with your pet instead of constantly cleaning up after them.

5. Use Beds With Washable Covers

Last but not least, before investing in a pet bed be sure to choose one that has a washable cover. With a removable bed cover, you can keep things fresh and clean by zipping away pet hair, dander, and dirt. So, when the bed starts smelling a little funky, you don’t have to chuck it into the washer and leave your pet on the floor. Instead, you can get rid of all the lingering smells by removing the cover and putting it in the wash by itself.

And if you have a spare cover – even better! You can now alternate between the two. Regular (and easy) washes mean fewer allergens, happier noses, and comfier snuggle spots for your furry friends.

Final thought

A pet-friendly home should do more than just accommodate your furry friends; it should be a haven where they can feel secure and play freely without risk of injury. By carefully selecting decor and design elements, you can create a space that is both stylish and safe for your pets.
