Frequently Asked Questions
How much space does an indoor cat need?
Each indoor cat needs a minimum of approximately 18 square feet of living space, though more is always better. This should include separate areas for eating, sleeping, playing, and litter box use. Vertical space like cat shelves and trees can supplement floor space.
Can I keep a cat in a studio apartment?
Yes, cats can live happily in studio apartments as long as you maximize vertical space with cat trees, shelves, and window perches. A studio of 400+ square feet can accommodate 1-2 cats comfortably with proper enrichment.
What enrichment do indoor cats need?
Indoor cats need scratching posts, climbing structures, window perches for bird watching, interactive toys, hiding spots, and regular play sessions. Environmental enrichment helps prevent boredom, obesity, and behavioral issues.
