When you own a cat for years, you can solve any “cat issue” just in a few minutes. Cat owners know how to calm their pet down, correct their bad habits, and construct a scratcher that you don’t have to nail to a wall. Fortunately, they’re always ready to share their experience with other people who love these furry animals.

Bright Side is so inspired by cat owners’ inventiveness that we’re ready to share their pieces of advice with the whole world.

14. Calm your cat down.

You can calm your cat down with the help of this treat that can be attached to any plain surface. It’s easy for pets to lick these lollipops, so it’ll keep them busy for a while. If you don’t have a nice treat like this, you can also spray some water on your cat. This will make them start grooming themselves immediately.

13. Teach your cat to comb itself.

,

Cats start scratching furniture and walls when they don’t have another option. Buy a scratcher or make it at home and cover the corners of your furniture with protective tape. You can also cover all your furniture with cardboard: your cat will get used to it and then there will be no need to cover the furniture.

5. Make a cat scratcher in 3 minutes.

Wrap a table leg in jute rope or threads and show it to your pet. They’ll probably love it!

4. Make a toy for your cat.

Create a universal toy from a shoe box and cardboard paper towel tubes. Cats will likely think that something is hiding inside and try to catch it.

3. Make a ladder for cats.

Cats like to climb to high places, but this “hiking” usually damages furniture. Create a ladder by wrapping a wide plank with a rope and attach it to the wall or your wardrobe.

2. Make a house for cats.

You just have to take a big box, cut out the entrance, and cover the floor inside with a soft rug.

1. Make a condo for your cats.

Find some tree branches and create a big cat condo. Make sure your construction is securely mounted.

Here you can find many pictures of these condos that will inspire you.
