It is also essential to have plenty of peaceful, secure, and safe areas for your cat to relax and hide in. It could be like cupboards, shelves, or beds. You can also design some hiding areas by leaving out plastic, wooden, or cardboard boxes or even leaving an open cat carrier (the latter can aid in preventing them from identifying the page with negative memories). Cats also require things to scratch on, which makes them feel more at home and helps keep their claws in good condition. Providing plenty of scratching posts that are located in various places will keep them entertained and decrease the risk of them scratching furniture.
