Transform your balcony into a spring paradise for cats

by Lilou Bastet

Cozy rest areas
Place cushions, small beds or hammocks under shaded areas to provide comfortable resting places where your cat can relax and enjoy the cool air.

Visual barriers
Install planters with tall grass or small shrubs to provide your cat with areas where it can hide and observe discreetly. It can also contribute to their feeling of security.

Interactive outdoor toys
Provide weather-resistant toys, such as balls or catnip toys, to encourage active outdoor play.

Easy access
Make sure your cat can easily access the balcony through a cat flap or open door under supervision, allowing a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors.
