How to enrich the balcony for your cat in spring

by Lilou Bastet

Introduction of greenery
Choose cat-safe plants, such as catnip or catnip, which are not only safe but also stimulating for them.

Water point
Set up a small fountain or water bowl so your cat can drink whenever he wants, which is especially important during the warmer days of spring.

Observatory
Create a space where your cat can climb and observe. Perches or shelves can enrich their environment by allowing them to monitor their territory. Consider securing your balcony with the Catsafe solution before installing a viewpoint.
