Whether
you have cats with access to the great outdoors, especially gardens or fields with hedges and
climbing space, or indoor cats; a certain amount of catification of your house
is necessary: a few safe places to sleep, scratching surfaces and access to
water and food.
If
you need any inspiration and information about how to make your house cat-friendly,
or want to give a cat person a nice Christmas present, I can highly recommend the
book called Catification by Jackson Galaxy and Kate Benjamin.
The
book is absolutely brilliant. It gives you loads of ideas for making your house
as cat-friendly as possible; from easy and cheap to more difficult and more
expensive DIY projects, from ready-made, cheaper items to more expensive
designer catification items. The book also deals with the different cat
personalities and their needs. It contains a lot of tips and hints about how to
deal with certain problems around feline family members through case studies
that Jackson took from his TV programme My Cat from Hell. It is amazing to
see how sometimes, with just a few little tweaks or additions; you can make
your cat even happier. This is a truly
inspiring book that’s well worth the buy. I’m certainly glad I bought it as it
gave me some great ideas for further catification of our house, even though our
two have access to the great outdoors with a big garden and fields to roam and
cat trees, tunnels and boxes inside the house. There’s always room for
improvement.
You
can buy the book in your local bookshop or on-line.
