Cat-Proofing a New Apartment (2026)

Before Your Cat Arrives

Setting up a cat-safe apartment prevents accidents and helps your feline adjust quickly.

Windows and Balconies

Install sturdy screens on all windows. Balconies need cat netting to prevent falls.

Kitchen Hazards

• Secure trash cans with lids
• Store toxic foods in closed cabinets

Plants Check

Remove toxic plants (lilies, pothos). Replace with cat-safe alternatives like cat grass.
