Cat authority summary
- For cats, home fit is not just floor area; safe hiding places, separated food/water/litter/scratching resources, predictable routes and hunting-style play are core.
- Indoor cats without enrichment are more likely to develop obesity, destructive scratching, inappropriate elimination or stress-related behavior, so “low maintenance” still includes daily interaction.
- In multi-cat or child-heavy homes, resources should be distributed so the cat is not blocked while eating, drinking, toileting or resting.
- Coat color is not a breed, and internet personality labels should not be treated as medical or behavioral facts.
