Designing the Garden: Cats are Happy About That

If you design your garden in a cat-friendly and beautiful way, you will make your house tigers very happy. Especially when your green space wants to fence in, a few varied design elements are a great idea to avoid boredom.

After you have made your garden safe for cats and possibly fenced it in, fun, activity, and variety are now on the agenda. Of course, the focus is on the needs of your pet.

Places to Play, Hide & Seek

Cats love to sneak up, run, romp and climb. And where is that more fun than in the open air? If you have few trees in your garden or trees that are not suitable for climbing, you can also set up scaffolding that is weatherproof and specially made for outdoor use. Lots of velvet paws like to use stacks of wood as a place to climb. Of course, the view from them is particularly beautiful!

Cat houses are also suitable for climbing and can do much more: the four-legged friends can rest in them and hide in the wind and weather. A shady spot is also important for very warm days. The direct midday sun is just as unhealthy for cats as it is for us humans and can be particularly harmful to white cats.

Now It’s Getting Cozy & Adventurous

A very simple way to make cats happy is to lay out stone slabs, which heat up from the sun during the day and are still wonderfully cozy and warm in the evening. No wonder the four-legged friends love to lie there.

If you want to create a small pond or fountain for your cat, make sure it’s cat-proof so that they can drink water and splash around. Tallgrass is perfect for sneaking and romping, and non-toxic plants make kitty trips to the garden as natural as possible.
