As more of us keep our cats indoor-only, it’s totally normal to worry about boredom, behavioral issues, depression, or even obesity—especially if you live in a tiny space like I do. In this video I break down the most effective ways to keep indoor cats happy and healthy by “catifying” your home (yes, even a small studio). I walk through the seven enrichment elements I prioritize: climbing areas, vantage points, hiding spots, elevated pathways, window seats, scratching surfaces, and sufficient litter boxes (my forever rule: one box per cat plus one extra). Then I get into the stuff that really makes the difference day-to-day: intentional playtime (because your cat will not be happy if you don’t play with them), using the hunt-catch-kill-eat routine, and adding a few “modern cheat” toys like puzzle feeders and electronic toys for when you can’t be on the floor 24/7. I also talk about harness training (not for every cat), the benefits of cat companionship for the right personality, why cats thrive on routines at dawn and dusk, why spay/neuter matters for health and behavior, and—best for last—why a catio is the ultimate safe outdoor upgrade if you can swing it.
