Home Setup & Supplies
The best cat setup solves daily problems before it adds cute extras.
Build the room around what your cat will use every day: carrier, litter, bowls, water, scratching, rest, play, and cleaning. Then upgrade once you know the cat's habits.
Buy the first-week basics before the cute extras crowd the room.
Pick a carrier that opens easily, feels steady, and can stay out between vet days.
Choose feeding and water stations that are easy to clean and easy for your cat to use.
Plan windows, plants, cords, cleaners, hiding gaps, balconies, and safe rooms.
Search houseplants before they come home or before a curious cat chews one.
Set up the box, scoop, mat, placement, and cleaning rhythm so the daily habit is simple.
Give claws, climbing, and lookout behavior better places to go.
Choose warm, washable rest spots and window seats that fit your cat's habits.
