Multiple Cat Homes & Territory

Video Transcript

"Cats tend to have certain territory spots in the house, that are their personal favorites, so offering them a bunch of different places, where they can hang out, especially again, vertical surfaces. Cat's like to be high, so they're going to choose places that are off the ground, usually, to hang out, and relax, so each cat will find it's own territory. As you can see, Midge here, often chooses the hammock. She likes to be in this hammock. That's her territory. The other cats who live in this room with Midge, tend not to use the hammock, because they know that's hers, and Tippy here, likes this little corner. This is his favorite area of the room, and he stays there, preferentially, uses this scratching area, and he can go back in that corner and sleep, and hide out, so each cat will find their own territory. You'll notice the places they tend to hang out. If you see a place that looks uncomfortable, like a window sill, where they want to be. You may want to make a nice window box for them, or put a blanket on a table there, so they can have a place to lounge, that feels safe, and feels like their own space in the house."
