Have you ever noticed that more and more people are keeping pets now, especially those who are single or have a family without children? You will always keep a cat, and you will even regard them as your closest people to accompany you. Keeping pets has become one of the most popular trends at the moment. In the eyes of many shit collectors, cats are like “family members”.

So in the design of the apartment at home, we also add space for family members to use. Regarding the living space for pets, many people see others keeping pets for companionship and want to keep them themselves, but give up after seeing that there is really no space for pets at home. Indeed, raising cats is quite particular about the layout of the apartment. So what exactly? What kind of house is suitable for raising a cat?

01 On the existing house type, you can create some small designs. By chance, I came across a video with 500,000+ likes on Douyin. A blogger spent 6,000 yuan to create it for the cats at home. A cat room. The protagonist sacrificed a room to use it as a cat room. He filled the cabin with all the things the cat needs, including a cat climbing frame, a cat nest, cat litter, and a place to eat and drink. Be careful.

In fact, we can find that more and more cat owners do not only take care of their food and drink when raising cats. They will also build exclusive nests for them at home, build play spaces, and purchase various pet-friendly items. The most suitable one is a LOFT duplex or a house with an attic.

Compared with the flat floor, the space is obviously larger and can be left for pets to move around. Stairs and attics can increase the space for cats to move around. After all, they like to lie upstairs and overlook the building. Next, if the home is not big enough, you can also build a pet cabin, and their nests can be designed in every corner of the home.

If it is in the living room, you can choose to make an open bookshelf on the background wall, which can cleverly make a cat nest, a house with an attic, and a cat house under the stairs, which will not take up a lot of space. , and can give pets a quiet resting space. The balcony is the most suitable place for pets to make a nest. Place a cradle or tatami. Cats can usually sleep in the sun here, but the windows must be sealed.

If you have enough space, you can customize a cat bed for your cat like this blogger did, and pair it with a coffee table and a sofa. It will look really stylish. Pets do not require so much space, but a lot of small space.

It does not have to be a large house of 100 square meters. Even if it is a small apartment, it only needs to be left for them to have a small nest and a little space for free movement. I believe that everyone who likes to raise a cat has already taken care of it as a child, taking care of its food, drink, and litter. Bathing a cat also requires a suitable bathroom.

Bathing a pet in an ordinary bathroom is particularly troublesome, because you have to bend down or squat to wash it, and the pet will get a lot of water by moving around like a child.

So the bathroom and shower area suitable for pets must be specially designed, but the cat litter box that is easily overlooked is actually very particular. First, and generally speaking, you need to prepare the number of cats + 1, which means that the cat’s litter box The larger the size and the greater the number, the larger the space that needs to be reserved for placing the litter box. The special nature of the cat litter box also determines that it cannot be placed in a dark and humid corner, as it is easy to breed bacteria and It should not be placed in a place that is too conspicuous. Senior cat lovers love their pets in every possible way. They must not only consider their physical needs, but also take care of their mental satisfaction according to their living habits and spiritual needs.

You can also use your brain to make some thoughtful designs for pets at home. Let’s first look at the cats’ preferences. Generally, cats like to climb and move around, so they need certain obstacles. You can add them according to their movement lines. First of all, install some small devices. It is necessary to specially design movable climbing frames and springboards for them. The balcony behind the sealed window is very suitable for placing climbing frames, including the TV background wall in the living room. Also make full use of it, add a few springboards or fight a few cats. hole, so that the TV wall can be used as a cat shelf. Friends who want to build an open bookcase can add steps to the bookshelf for cats to move around, so that they can also feel the bookish atmosphere.

It is better if the home is a duplex. The stairs can be designed to be hollow and connected to the cat climbing frame to increase the movement and interest of cats. The simplest way is to install a hemp at home. Rope, cats always like to climb to high places and jump around, and suddenly jump on the curtains. At this time, you can prepare a hemp rope and add it to the ceiling or cat climbing frame. Cats also always like to crawl around. You can do it at home. Reserve holes for them to come and go freely. You can make door openings in TV storage cabinets or balcony storage cabinets. Small designs like this don't cost much, but they can build an exclusive playground for cats.

02 In fact, many products have added pet space design. Now when building houses, many developers have planned pet space in advance in the house type. They have visited the market many times before. I saw some projects designed some pet spaces, taking Chongming Guangming Villa as an example. When I walked into the model room, first of all, a kitten house was built from the entrance door. It not only has small tent-like windows, but also carefully designed carpets and green plants.

Let you feel the full love of pets in this house at the first time. Not only that, in the bedroom There is also a bay window space specially left for the cat.

Similarly designed with such thoughtfulness, there is the Lanxiang Lake No. 1 project in Binjiang, Shanghai. Not only does it sit on the first scenic bay of Pujiang River, but it is even more unique in terms of unit layout, with five bays facing south and a 270-degree view. Balcony, is there any bigger house more suitable for pets? Cats live here. They can enjoy the warm sunshine all day long and see the most beautiful scenery. What’s very considerate is that there is a cabin space reserved for them in the room. They also have their own homes.

Seeing the products of these developers, they are really attentive. Every pet space directly touches the hearts of pet lovers. Unexpectedly, some projects even have specially installed pet buttons, such as Shanghai Longsheng Fuxin In fact, the community does not only exist for luxury houses, but based on the needs of the owners. So what role does it play?

When owners take their pets in the elevator, they can choose to turn on the pet button, which can remind other owners waiting for the elevator that there are pets in the elevator. In this way, people who are afraid of pets can avoid small designs that are actually large. It makes sense to allow people who are afraid of pets to avoid being frightened, and at the same time, it will also greatly reduce the probability of neighborhood conflicts caused by pets. It can be seen that at least in this community, there are actually many people who keep pets, otherwise there would not be a dedicated pet button installed to support pet preferences. For readers, the living experience has suddenly become warmer than in many other places. It can also be seen that some communities already have pet bathrooms, so pet owners do not need to go to pet shops.

You can bathe, dry and dress your pets at home. The biggest requirement for many pet lovers is that their pets must live comfortably. Just like family members, pets are also very important in their hearts. Some clients even trade in their large houses and move to an apartment for a pet room, because that house is suitable for the entire family, including their pets.

03 Maybe in the future, apartment layouts will be specially designed for pets. When I talked about this topic with two senior cat-raising friends around me: "What kind of apartment type do you think is suitable for raising cats?" Their ideas can be representative to some extent. Many owners who have cats at home say that "a duplex is the most suitable." Judging from several room types, a duplex is definitely the best.

On the one hand, the space is large enough for pets to move around freely. The duplex also has stairs, which are just perfect for cats who love to climb. This does not mean that flat floors are not good, and flat floors are also acceptable. You can usually make some small designs for cats at home to make their lives more comfortable. Generally, raising cats is different from raising dogs. Cats are kept at home, while dogs often move outside. Just like what we say "walking" "Dogs", so indoor activity design is mostly done for cats. Some people say that big houses are suitable for keeping pets, but that is definitely not the case.

In fact, pets only need a small home, and being able to accompany each other is the most important thing. "Houses are still for people to live in." Of course, this does not mean that you must choose an apartment for pets. After all, houses are still for people to live in. Yes, it can only be said that under the existing conditions, try to design some space for pets. People and pets also need to maintain an appropriate sense of distance, just like pets and children.

Living in a family requires both space to play together and separate rooms, especially if there are pregnant women at home. Some people may also be allergic to cat hair and need to be separated in the living space. Therefore, it is necessary to make a small room for the cat. It is very good to come out when they want to play together and live separately when they need a rest. At the same time, I found that now the pet has completely become a member of the family and has many loyal and loving friends. Cat owners already regard their pets as their own children. They are really willing to spend money for their cats. They buy cat food and replace cat litter. When they are sick, they have to spend a lot of money to register for medical treatment. Likewise, they live in the house every day. At the same time, they are also willing to choose houses with pet space. Gradually, they can also see some innovative designs for pets on the market. There may not be exclusive pet-specific apartments now, but it is undeniable that there is a huge market for pets, which can open up their minds. Imagine the hole.

In the next five years, maybe we will see a pet room in the model room. At that time, the salesperson will proudly show you "This is the master bedroom, this is the children's room, and there is also a room specially designed for your pet." s room".
