Do you have a scratching post for your cat and an elevated carpeted platform for your cat(s).
Multiple, yesDo you have a scratching post for your cat and an elevated carpeted platform for your cat(s).
Number of cats +1 litterbox. I like the ones with top entrance that are made of just one piece. No leakage, less litter tracked aroundIf you have more than one cat, do you have more than one litter box?
Personally no here, but that is because we have a 2 story house. 1 box main story (office) and 1 box in my sisters room (downstairs).If you have just cat, is one litter box good enough
Yes, but i strongly recommend having a litterbox in each floor of the house. Any door behind which there is a litterbox must be left open and it's easy to make a mistake and close it.can a single cat get used to using one litter box in the finished basement if you leave the basement door open and a light on?
I have a finished basement where I keep my litter boxes. My basement door actually has a kitty door in it (previous owners installed), so it works out perfect. I have three litter boxes down there for one cat, but that was only because I did have 2. My 18 year old baby girl passed away 2 years ago and I just kept the same boxes down there. I have a night light down there that turns on when it gets dark. It's a walk-out basement, so it gets a lot of light during the day.can a single cat get used to using one litter box in the finished basement if you leave the basement door open and a light on?
Yes, specifically on the couches. These items fixed that issue --> SmartCat Pioneer Pet Ultimate Scratching Post (Beige) & Sofa-Scratcher' Cat Scratching Post & Couch-Corner/Furniture Protector 2-Pack (Beige)Does your cat damage your furniture or carpets? How do you prevent that from happening.
Also, do trim their nails? How often?
I get the cardboard scratching pads. They sleep on top of sewing machine cabinets, my bed, the back of the recliners, the seat of the recliners, bed in the fish room. Rubbermaid tub by the fish room window. They have cat beds in several locations but in summer they prefer cool surfaces I thinkDo you have a scratching post for your cat and an elevated carpeted platform for your cat(s).
