Have A Sofa Scratcher Or Cord Biter On Your Hands? Keep Your Pet (And Your Things) Safe With These Solutions For A Pet-friendly Home
Think Like an Animal
Step into your pet’s shoes—er, paws —to consider her needs. Felines are both predator and prey, so they appreciate a perch, such as a cat tree or empty bookshelf near a window, where they can observe their surroundings. If you leave your windows open, make sure they’re outfitted with screens to prevent curious critters from escaping. Keep candles out of reach and block the fireplace with a folding screen. Before introducing a new plant into your home, double-check that it’s pet-safe in case your pal decides it looks like a snack.
