Any cat lover can say that even if kittens are excellent companions, they often create a big mess at home. Between the litter box, the feeding area and everything that comes off, you can quickly feel like you’re living in your cat’s house and not the other way around.

If you feel like you are burning all your free time while tidying up Tiger, do not despair. Here are some tips to follow the chaos of the cat, which can make the job much more comfortable and less time wasting.

Use a No Scratch Spray

There is no doubt that cats enjoy scratching carpets in the house.  Scratching is a natural behavior that cats exercise; their claws are an essential climbing tool that needs to be kept sharpened.  In order to prevent carpet scratching and keep your carpets new, carpet cleaning should be performed regularly followed by an application of no scratch spray on carpets to deter your cat’s curiosity.

Find a Good Litter box

For most people, the cat toilet is undoubtedly the most unpleasant aspect of owning a cat. If the kitten is an accomplished garbage extractor, he may end up with more damage out of the box than in it.

Place the litter box instead of the carpet on hard floors. Linoleum, tiles and wood floors are much easier to clean and also avoid sanding the carpet. Cleaning on bare floors is easy: just sweep up the escaping sand and disinfect the soil as often as essential.

It’s a good idea to invest in a sand mat large enough to fit under the sandbox, with at least 6 inches to the front of the pitch. This will be the first surface that will touch your cat when it comes out of its box, and it will catch some or most of the excess garbage that sticks to its paws and between the toes. Whenever you lift the bedding, carefully lift the mat and shake the excess in the box.

Give a Blanket To Your Cat

Choose a blanket or comforter as “cat only” and cover the places where the cat likes to fall asleep: his couch, his bed or even his favorite place on the floor. This reduces the amount of cat hair that accumulates on furniture and bedding, and you can clean fluffy blankets with a lint roller or hand-held vacuum cleaner. You can also throw it in the washer and dryer as needed. Try to choose blankets or quilts on easy-to-clean natural fabrics that have not been treated with flame-retardants.

Set Aside a Few Minutes Every Day to Brush or Comb Kitty

Spend 5 or 10 minutes brushing your kitten’s hair every day. Not only is it a great opportunity to interact with your cat, but it can also work wonders by reducing the number of hair you drop in the house. You will also improve the condition of your kitten’s coat with your daily brushing sessions, and as a bonus, little problem of hairballs can also disappear.

Invest in a Handheld Vacuum

Instead of having to pull out the upright or closet vacuum every day (or more often), imagine that you just pick up a lightweight vacuum cleaner to quickly pick up garbage, cat hair or food on the floor. You probably will not think twice, right?

To remove cat hair from upholstered furniture, you can use a handheld vacuum cleaner or a lint roller. Or try this trick: put on rubber gloves, moisten something and put your hands on the furniture to lift the cat’s hair. Rinse gloves as often as necessary and store them until your furniture is no longer fur-lined with leather.

Dust and Vacuum Often

It is a fact of life that dusting and vacuuming tasks often need to be done when you share the house with pets. Cat hair and loose sand can quickly occupy your living space, and it’s much easier to stay on the top than to let things slide. Developing a weekly habit of dusting and vacuuming will make your home a more welcoming place for all family members and guests.
