Cat Household Setup Checklist

Behavior plans fail when the household layout keeps putting the cat over threshold. Setup is part of training.

What matters most

  • Spread resources rather than stacking them in one room.
  • Protect vertical routes and private recovery zones.
  • Make litter, food, water, and scratching options visible and easy.

Working sequence

  1. Map the home from the cat’s perspective.
  2. Reduce traffic conflict around key resources.
  3. Review setup again after introducing a second pet.
