How to choose the right cat house for an apartment

Every person who has a beloved cat or cat has a desire to provide his pet with everything necessary. That's what these things are for:

• bowls;

It is very important that the kitten has a comfortable and safe place in the house, its own corner. In order to provide him with this, you can buy a special house for him.

What are cat houses

Most often, a cat house is a soft structure, the side walls of which are made of foam rubber. Also, the basis for it can be a wooden or metal frame. The cost of houses varies. It all depends on its additional elements and accessories. There are 3 types of cat houses:

• cottages-beds;
• game complex;
• round hole design.

What materials are pet houses made of?

Let's talk more about the materials used to create a cat house.

1. For the frame, you can use plywood, wooden boards or chipboard.
2. Beds and hammocks are sewn from ordinary fabric. The fabric should not have a strong odor. Otherwise, the cat will not even approach such a house.
3. The structure should be both outside and inside upholstered with some kind of fabric or any other soft material. If this is a booth, felt, faux fur or even carpet is used for its upholstery. Keep in mind that some materials are very electrified from pet hair.
4. Bedding and pillows are made of plush, velvet, flannelettes, etc.
5. Foam rubber, synthetic winterizer or holofiber are used as fillers for beds and pillows. Also, special granules are sold for this.
6. There should be a nail sharpener in the house. It can be made from a thick coarse rope, such as a tourniquet. The rope must be wound on a wooden, plastic or metal base.
7. The elements used to connect and fasten parts must be strong, so it is better to take screws, self-tapping screws or nails. Connect the frame parts with plastic or metal corners.

Fabric elements should not be glued. It is better to nail them with a construction stapler or nails. As you can see, different materials are used to make a cat house. However, all of the above are more suitable for the production of a homemade house. Shop houses are made from anything.
