Creating a “cat room”
Fight the urge to cluster all of your cat’s accessories – from scratching posts to perches to beds – in one designated “cat room.” According to The Cat Whisperer, scattering pet paraphernalia around the house more accurately reflects conditions in the wild, and creates what she calls a “land of plenty” – an atmosphere that reduces competition between cats. She even recommends separating the food bowl from the water dish, as cats instinctively avoid water near dead prey, which in the wild would likely be contaminated with bacteria.
