General Impressions and My Cat's Reaction:
When I first moved into my apartment, I noticed that my cat wanted to have some sort of hideout, a little den, a cozy spot. Although he often sleeps on open spaces and with me too. However, periodically he gets the urge to be alone. Unfortunately, he's lost interest in carrying it around and now uses a regular cardboard box as his hideout. Over a few months, while we were settling into our new place, the box got pretty worn out, and he loves to gnaw on the cardboard and scatter it around. So, I started looking for him a new home.
There were plenty of options available, from a whole complex to a puft with a cat entrance. But all of that seemed too bulky and aggressive-looking to me. I wanted to get something cute, cozy, that would fit in with my interior, which is all about calm colors and a relaxed atmosphere.
The CHICHI&CO foldable cat house with a scratching post seemed like the perfect option for me. I didn't regret my purchase at all.
CHICHI&CO foldable cat house with scratching post reviews So, how did my feline friend react to the acquisition of this two-story 'cat lodge'?
At first, he was cautious, sniffing around, showing interest because it's new, and everything new always catches his attention (we even take apart the shopping bag together, and he wants to sniff everything).
On the first day, he carefully explored the house, jumped up to the top, but didn't stay there. After that, he didn't approach it for two days. In case of such situations, there's a foolproof solution. I had a packet of catnip that came with the scratching post. I sprinkled a tiny bit of catnip inside the house and the rest on top. My cat immediately showed interest, sniffed the house from all sides, and then lay down inside and on top. He finally accepted his new home.
Since then, my cat has been obsessed with his new house, as if it's been there forever:
