Does your cat stiffen and become alert the moment the doorbell rings? When guests arrive, does it run off, unsure of where to hide? It doesn’t have to be that way. Check out how to prepare your cat for visitors.
Designate a Safe Territory for Your Cat
Cats are territorial animals who like to feel in control of their space. That’s why it’s best if your cat has a place to hide from the eyes and hands of guests—especially small children, who aren’t always careful when interacting with pets.
A great hideaway can be an eco-friendly cardboard cat house, which will give your feline more privacy, or a cozy Holy Cube bed lined with super soft material.
Another good option is the Molly’s Heaven cat bed, which molds to the cat’s body and makes the perfect spot for a nap. These and many other stylish cat accessories can be found in our store. It’s worth checking them out—they fit perfectly with the festive atmosphere!
Allow Your Cat to Control Its Environment – for example, from a Wall-Mounted Bed
While cats sometimes like to isolate themselves, it’s also important for them to be able to observe their surroundings from a higher vantage point. This helps them feel calm and reduces stress. That’s why cat shelves can be a great solution. Our shelves are not only practical, but also beautiful, durable, and exceptionally comfortable. Plus, they can be a stylish addition to any interior.
A wall-mounted bed for your cat is also a great way to increase your pet’s activity. It will encourage muscle exercise and climbing—activities that are truly healthy for your cat!
Be Careful with Holiday Decorations – How to Protect Your Cat During the Holidays
The holidays are a magical time for many of us, filled with twinkling lights, decorations, and delicious treats. If you have a cat, you know how careful you need to be to avoid adding extra stress to your furry friend.
The first thing that comes to mind during the holidays is the Christmas tree. If you want it to survive the season, secure it firmly to the floor or weigh it down. You can also tie the tree to the ceiling to ensure it stays stable when your cat inevitably tries to climb to the top.
Be cautious of dangerous decorations, such as glass ornaments, tinsel, and string lights. Many cats feel an irresistible urge to chew on cords or knock things off shelves.
By taking these precautions, you’ll ensure your cat’s safety and avoid unnecessary stress, knowing that everything is under control.
Your Guests Are Also Your Cat’s Guests
Now you know how important it is to prepare your cat for the holiday season. A safe environment is key to providing your pet with peace and a sense of control. So, give your cat a peaceful holiday—and treat yourself to an elegant piece of furniture that will blend perfectly with your home décor! At Cosy and Dozy, you’ll find unique shelves and wall-mounted beds for your cat, with the option to customize the color of the wood, cushion, and brackets.
A gift like this could make sure your feline friend no longer feels stressed by visitors, as they’ll have a place from which they can keep a close eye on their territory. After all, our cats are loyal companions and members of the family, so it’s important they feel comfortable around our guests.
