Make a Bedroom for Your Cat

Do you have a spare room and don't know what to do with it? Well, if you have a cat you can make it its own room! You can fill it with special homemade toys, scratching posts, etc.

Steps

 * 1) Clean out the room. A clean and hygienic bedroom that is welcoming is essential. Remove all furniture from the room (if you want), to make a big play area for your cat/kitten.[[Image:Make a Bedroom for Your Cat Step 1.jpg|center]]
 * 2) Get rid of dangerous objects in or outside the room. Make sure stuff like rubber bands, string or ribbon is out of the way. They are a choking hazard. Remove anything the cat might try to eat that could be poisonous, including plants.[[Image:Make a Bedroom for Your Cat Step 2.jpg|center]]
 * 3) Bring in the cat furniture. Place the cat's scratching post, litter tray (optional), water. and food bowl. (Never put the food or water bowl next to the litter tray.)[[Image:Make a Bedroom for Your Cat Step 3.jpg|center]]
 * 4) Make some toys. Here is the fun part. You can make some special toys for kitty to play with. Grab a toilet roll tube and flatten it, then cut it into small strips. Once done, reshape them into little circles. You can also scrunch up some foil into a little ball.[[Image:Make a Bedroom for Your Cat Step 4.jpg|center]]
 * 5) Bring in boxes. Make little houses out of boxes. Cut a little door hole and some windows and it can be a house. You can also make cat condos, which are harder to make but the cat will love them. Just be creative![[Image:Make a Bedroom for Your Cat Step 5.jpg|center]]
 * 6) Bring your cat in. Let the cat have a sniff around and see if she likes it. If not, spend time with your cat in the room. It will get used to it.[[Image:Make a Bedroom for Your Cat Step 6.jpg|center]]

Tips

 * On the door you could write a sign saying something like 'The Cat's Room' or 'Kitties In Here!'
 * Maybe add a few platforms in the room. You cat could have a great view from a tall platform!

Warnings

 * Do not leave the cat in there with a dog! Even though your dog looks like an angel, it can still hurt your cat.
 * Never leave the cat in there alone with the door shut or with toys with strings hanging around.
 * If you built a cat house, do NOT force the cat inside the box. That will stress it out and the cat probably won't use it ever again.
 * Always leave a window open. The cat will need some fresh air.

Things You'll Need

 * A spare room
