It’s no joke living in a multi pet household and our current situation is less than ideal. Oh, we’re working on it! But at the moment all of the pets are confined to one area.

Our lovely cats are scratching the molding and peeing on floors. The dogs are being terrorized by the crazy new feline rescue.

We took over the parlor floor (in addition to our garden apartment) four months ago but have yet to close in the stairway. This means the pets can’t go into the hallway because they’ll bother the neighbors on the 3rd floor. They would also need to go into the hallway for the backyard and basement. So, they are confined for now unless we escort them. Which is a pain in the arse.

The plan is to have them in the once-nice-but-now-destroyed room, plus basement and backyard. The basement will be a kitty paradise, as well as a human paradise for cleaning purposes. Cement floors with heavy duty epoxy and drains so we can just hose it down. There will be litterboxes galore and scratching posts and a cat door for them to go outside into the cat-fenced backyard.

Can’t wait! But for now, I’m just looking at some ideas. Hence the pics. Not mine. And to tell ya the truth, I thought I’d find way more ideas.
