How Can We Improve Everyday Cat Welfare at Home and in Catteries?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been thinking about simple ways we can improve cat welfare both at home and in professional catteries.

At home, things like daily playtime, clean litter trays, fresh water, scratching posts, and safe quiet spaces make a huge difference. But what about when cats stay in a cattery during holidays?

In my opinion, good welfare in a cattery should include:

• Clean and spacious units

• Proper ventilation and temperature control

• Regular human interaction

• Enrichment (toys, climbing shelves, hiding spots)

• Individual feeding routines
