To live in harmony with your cat or kitten, it is essential to understand the organization of her territory, pace of life and basic preoccupations. Once her territory is defined, organized and marked out, your cat will spend most of the time sleeping. And when she’s not sleeping, her main occupations will be playing, hunting, eating and cuddling.
The cat organizes her life inside your home around four different areas. You must respect this organization, without ever disturbing it at the risk of causing certain behavioral problems:
I. Eating area: This must be distant from its toilet area (litter tray) and from your own eating area. Avoid your kitchen or your dining room so that your cat does not confuse your plate with its dish and therefore come and sample your meal. This could lead to a nutritional imbalance.
II. Rest area: This position will change in line with the sun and heat sources that are sought in priority by your cat (radiator, near the fireplace, sunny window, etc.). It is in one of these places that you should place her sleeping basket, knowing that it should not be too far from your living area, as being close to you is always important.
III.Toilet area: This must be a place that is always easily accessible by your cat, away from her dish and from your living area. A room used infrequently or a corner away from people passing will help you to avoid annoyances.
IV. Play area: This is the biggest area and is the place for living and relaxing. It must be conducive to playing, to racing about, to climbing up high (tables, cupboards, shelves, back of furniture, etc.). Being at the same height as her owner's face or any other family member fills your kitten with joy. It can rub against you, as with an equal.
