Adopting a cat is the guarantee of having an everyday companion in your life.An animal that will come to see you in the evening when you come home, who will appreciate the papouilles and who will like to play.
Finally ... in theory.Afterwards, your cat can be a bastard and there I can not.
The thing that often brakes when you think about adopting one, it's the litter.We will have to clean it and it is likely to feel death throughout the apartment.Especially when you live in a 15m² studio.

But all this is not inevitable!There are lots of little tips so that your hairy friend's excrement does not transform your apartment into a disaster area.
Let's start in the heart of the matter: the litter used.Before having an animal in an apartment, I thought that there were only kinds of gray gravel.
This is the first thing I bought, not fragrant to prevent it from disturbing my cat (which was only four months old).
And I found it infect.Not only is this thing stinking thoroughly, it is rather infamous to clean, but in addition ... it sticks to my cat's legs!
Result: the bathroom is covered with small dubious gravel that make dust when you walk on it.
If you too are disgusting you, there are other solutions!There is for example the crystal litter which sticks less to the legs and which stinks especially less, even when you take it unfacfumed.
Magic Clean Vitakraft litter
I tested for a while, but my cat pushed heartbreaking meowing every time he was going to do his needs.He really looked to hate that, so I understood that you had to take something else.
And I found the perfect litter, which is so good that I will never take others from my whole life again.The organic pellet litter.
Cats ’Best litter (the top of the top although dear)
This is natural, which allows you to empty the soiled litter directly in the toilet.The smell is much more bearable and my cat is happy.
In addition as they are large pellets, they stick less on the legs, which allows not to find it throughout the bathroom.
Be careful however: each animal has its preferences.Do not start to buy three large bags of a litter that yours may not like.
Try once with a bag.If your cat will do its needs anywhere except where it should, it is that it must be clearly taking something else!
Several of my friends have a simple bac for their cat.Result, when you go to the toilet or wash your hands, you fall in love with ... poop.And it's disgusting.
There are covered bins which are often called in "toilet houses" stores.I tell you because at the beginning with my boyfriend we would struggle to find.
But not all cats adhere to this installation.Some do not dare to enter it and will therefore do their needs elsewhere.But honestly, it's worth trying!
Cats toiletries.Exactly the same as mine hey!
With a cat that is not used to it, the best is to go gradually.
At first, we just put the tank without the lid.Then once he understood where he had to do his needs, we add the lid but without the door.And once he got used to, we put the small door.
The toiletries make it possible to reduce bad odors, litter projections and are still more welcoming.Over time, you can even switch to a tank with higher edges, to further limit projections.
And finally, the little tip that changes everything: doormat!Yes, there are cat mats, and it's very practical.
Patoune -shaped litter carpet.
The slightly sticky texture of the carpet makes it possible to collect the litter grains stuck under the legs of your cat.Tested and approved by Pichenette, my cat-cobaye.
When a cat arrives in a new territory, its first reflex will often be to spot its strategic points: water and food, the place to rest and the litter.
Know in passing that these three areas must be well spaced.If a dog will have no problem eating next to his basket, with cats it is better to avoid.
Educating a kitten with litter is a whole program that would require an entire article.When he already knows how to do it, the ideal is still to stay with him in the room where the litter is installed, only once he has taken his little tour of the territory.
This allows you to monitor that he goes to do his needs in the right place.Then it will simply be enough to reward him.
Once you have found the right balance, I promise: your apartment will be able to feel good again.Yep, even with a cat, it's possible!
