Cat-Friendly Home Design: In-Person & Online
“It’s like feng shui for cats!”
Alana Stevenson provides consultations on how your home environment and placement of furniture and feline resources can improve your cat’s behavior and prevent or resolve behavioral problems.
With small strategic environmental changes, you can prevent conflict between cats, improve your cat’s wellbeing, make your cat more affectionate, reduce inter-cat aggression, resolve problem urination, prevent play-aggression and play-biting, and help multiple animals peacefully coexist.
Cat-Friendly Design Priorities
- Help cats feel safe and at ease
- Reduce conflict between cats, other animals, and people
- Arrange furniture for optimal cat behavior
- Placement and addition of cat shelves, ledges, and perches
- Litter box style, placement, and location
- Food and water bowl positioning
- Style and positioning of scratching posts and scratch pads
- Fabric selections to deter or encourage scratching
- Increase usable space for cats in small rooms and homes
Online Cat-Friendly Home Design Consults
Cat-friendly home design consults online are 1–2 hours. Alana will assess your cat’s behavior and routine, review video clips of rooms you want to modify, and provide recommendations and changes that can be implemented immediately.
We worked on re-designing the barn adjacent to our house for amazing cat space!
In the barn, Alana advised us on vertical surfaces, cat trees, litter box positioning, privacy areas and indoor enclosures which allow the cats to be happy and keep a comfortable distance from each other. In the house, we went over different rooms and furniture arrangements, as well as litter boxes and water placement to create the most comfortable cat areas.
With cat changes and other life events, we revisit these areas and rearrange them as appropriate! Our work together has been very important to me, my family and our cats! ~ Dr. Audrey Tracey & multiple kitties, Massachusetts
