New Environment

How can I help my cat adjust to a new environment?

Here are 5 tips to help your cat adapt to a new environment:

Maintain
familiar habits: Try to keep mealtime, playtime, and other routines the
same. This familiarity can provide comfort during the menopause.

Find
a quiet, safe space in the new environment where your cat can retreat if
they feel overwhelmed. This could be a spare bedroom or a corner with
their favorite blanket and toys.

Introduce
new spaces gradually: Don't rush your cat to explore the entire new space
at once. Let them take the time to examine each room one by one.

Comforting
scents: Using products such as synthetic pheromones for cats can make a
new environment feel more familiar and comforting to your cat.

Patience
and love: Above all, give your cat a lot of love and patience. Understand
that it may take a while for them to adjust, and that's okay.

There are many ways to support your cat, but maintaining familiar routines and
providing a safe space are really the basics. It is very important to monitor
your cat's behavior and health regularly.

Lily is now adjusting well to our new home. She still seems a little cautious at times, but that is improving day by day. We bought the Royal Cat Palace because we have the space for it, but decided to keep her Corner Coon for the first few months so she had something she trusted. It has become her favorite spot in the new house. Now we were ready to switch to the Royal Cat Palace and she quickly got used to it. Some say it's too big, but it's also a real eye-catcher. Everyone who visits us asks where we got this particularly luxurious scratching post. We are very satisfied with it and are now considering buying another model for the second floor. That way Lily also has her own comfortable spot higher up.

How can I help my cat adjust to the new scratching post from RHRQuality?

Cats are naturally curious creatures, always willing to
explore their surroundings and eager to claim new territories as their own.
However, even the most adventurous cat can be a little hesitant when it comes
to accepting a new piece of furniture into their domain, such as the RHRQuality
scratching post. Designed with the cat's needs in mind, this majestic tower of
comfort and fun can be avoided a little suspiciously or even outright at first.
But fear not! This is a common scenario, and there are several strategies to
help your cat embrace their new RHRQuality cat tree.



First, it's important to understand that a cat tree is not just a piece of
furniture. For our furry friends, it's a territory, a vantage point, a
scratching post, and a place to rest and play. It's a part of their world, and
it's essential that it feels safe, familiar, and interesting. When we introduce
a new scratching post into their environment, it is logical that a cat feels a
bit uncomfortable. The scratching post is a new element in their territory, it
smells different, looks unfamiliar and your cat may not immediately understand
how to use it. But with the right approach, you can help them overcome these
initial doubts and make their RHRQuality scratching post their new favorite spot.



How can you help your cat adjust to their new RHRQuality scratching post? There
are several strategies you can use, ranging from choosing the right location
for the cat tree to choosing a cat tree that suits your cat's preferences and
using positive techniques such as treats, toys, and interaction. Let's take a
closer look at these different ways...

What can you do?

Location matters: Cats prefer certain areas in the
house. If you put the cat tree in a place where they hardly come, it can
prevent them from enjoying their new cat tree. Cats are observant and usually
want to visit the areas where the rest of the family is active. However, if
your cat likes to hide and stay away from pedestrian traffic in the house, try
putting the cat tree in one of their most visited rooms or comfortable places
in the house. Most cats love ramen, so it may also be a good idea to place the
scratching post near a window.



Choose the right scratching post: The scratching post you choose should
suit your cat's preferences and needs. For example, if you have several cats in
your home, you may need a larger cat tree or more than one cat tree. The
scratching post should also match your cat's scratching and height preferences.
Some cats like to sit high, while others prefer to stay lower to the ground.



Also, consider how active your cat is. Highly active cats can enjoy a
scratching post with toys, lying places, ladders, scratching boards, and more.
If your cat is less active, you may want to opt for a scratching post that is
more focused on comfort and lounging. The age and health status of the cat
should also be taken into account. Young kittens or older cats with mobility
issues may do better with a scratching post that is lower to the ground and
easier to reach.



Use candies, toys, or catnip: These can make the cat tree more inviting.
You can leave a trail of goodies right up to the scratching post, choose to let
them eat a tasty meal in it, or even play while you incorporate the scratching
post in. Catnip is also a very enticing option that can give the scratching
post a good first impression:



Positive attention is key when it comes to cats. Take the time to put
your cat in the scratching post and give them pets, love, and affection. If you
have a playful cat, take the toys and let them play. You can even use a laser
and have it chased through the entire scratching post.
