I have a 2 bedroom with 3 cats and cat poles in corners and shelves for cat highways is a great idea so they can walk around up high having their own territory. I always make some play time together. I use long plastic clear bins to keep in the hallways away from living area Also a robot vacuum. Clay litter, walnut and wheat litter are their favorites. One prefers high sides. Lots of little hang out spots. Cozy spot to hang near a window. My 3 cats are super happy and close. Although, one eats kibble only, one kibble and wet food and one only wet food or he vomits.

I will add a wheel! I recommend cat highways and creating leisure places for them over fridge for instance or on high shelves that lets them walk along walls. It sometimes keep them out of my way. Fish tank entertainment for them is nice too. Those wheels are $800 in Canada due to shipping.

Switching from traditional cat litter to natural wood pellets has been life changing for us! And we easily got our 13 year old cat to switch in two days! Healthier for us and the cat, no strewn litter, easy clean up and no lingering smell!

Kyanne Summer Thank you for such a kind comment! Unexpectedly a fourth joined my family. Do you have cats as well?

I love people who love cats, a months ago we adopted a young cat mom who had 7 kittens and they are all adopted too😊

My boyfriend unexpectedly rescued 3 cats and just got a one bedroom apartment! I learned a lot of tips for him :) thanks!

My favorite moment was watching your white cat walk on the white wheel against a white wall. That was beautiful! Thank you for sharing your tips on owning multiple cats. I got two new kittens two weeks ago and now own three cats myself. I found this video helpful and relatable! I have one girl and two boys also.

I know your apartment's pretty tiny but personally I wouldn't mind living in some place similar. Overall has a really nice and cosy feel to it and I love it and your cats, too

love seeing how relaxed and safe your cats feel by seeing them laying on their backs and exposing their stomachs. pretty rare to see several cats do that when not just trying to tempt a person into playing with them. :)

There is a kitty liter called pretty liter and you can live in a studio with a liter box and there will be no smell. It’s absolutely amazing. You should check it out. Anyway, you’ve done an amazing job with your cats. They are treated like kings and queens! It’s amazing to see because there isn’t alot of people like you out there. Many blessings.

I would definitely recommend changing their dry food for a high quality wet food as it’s a lot better for them.

There is little evidence that dry food is inherently bad for cats, but certainly any good diet should have at least around 50% wet food. As long as both dry and wet foods are of good quality. People worry a lot about carbs but studies have not found much evidence that carbs from starches in the amount present in dry food is a risk factor, and there's some evidence high fat diets actually decrease the insulin response in cats. It's probably best to feed your cats a variety of high quality foods that you find they tolerate well and enjoy through testing

I am so glad I found this. I live ina one room in SK too, and have been thinking about getting a second cat. I was so nervous, but looking forward to it! =

I bought a relatively decent sized apartment last year. At first it started out with me and my first cat, then I adopted another younger cat 3-4 months and last night I had a new visitor, an orange and white male cat about the same age as my second cat, so now I have three cats in this space. 😅 Appreciate them a lot though. They're awesome and I wasn't really a cat guy before my first cat. I also work from home in my own home recording studio so I'm around my cats most of the time. They're indoors completely. Buying a new litter box tomorrow, will also be buying more cat trees and toys. It's definitely doable but three is the limit for me in an apartment.

Oh, your Russian Blue surprised me, he reminded me of my kitty. She passed this April 9th. I miss her. You have sweet kitties ❤

Yay! I love your video! I have two cats right now, Peaches and Scream, and I adopted them as bonded pair kittens about a year ago. I feel like they want a friend other than the other, or me, so I'm looking at a tortie kitten named Lichen, and want to do research so everything goes okay. I'm nervous since cats, like introverts, don't always love change and new characters!

COUPLE THINGS I SUGGEST: Thanks for a great video. I thought I would share a couple things I found saved me LOADS of time. For automated litterboxes, the best is Arm & Hammer Platinum SLIDE Easy Clean, Clumping Litter, Multi-Cat. It doesn't stick to the inside of self-cleaning litterboxes so you don't get caked on clay on the bottom or sides. With this litter it stays off the machine and dumps into the drawer leaving a clean litterbox. So you rarely have to remove the inside ball and clean it very often. Huge time saver and it doesn't track as much. LITTER ROBOT 4- BE SURE TO GET A FENCE (prevents cats from kicking litter out) LR4 for those living in the US is the best-automated litter robot, get the 3-year warranty as they just send out a new base if there are any problems. I know it is a fortune and is pretty big but when you think of it in terms of how much time you will save (especially with the litter listed above it pays for itself really quickly.). With the Slide Litter you rarely have to clean the ball. I always think about how much anything saves me in time so while it is a big investment it saves me hours a week messing with the litterbox. Litter Robot 4 is pretty much the only solid choice if you live in the US. Outside the US where service costs extra shipping it may be a toss-up with some of the knock off ones. But inside the US it's the best and only automated litter robot with real support. AVOID LITTER ROBOT 3 Avoid the Litter Robot 3 as most of these have a known problem with the sensors and they are constant trouble but the V4 is worth every penny. Combined with the Arm & Hammer Platinum SLIDE Easy Clean, Clumping Litter you will rarely have to clean the ball. I just wipe it while it cycles and then I don't have to clean it very often. Arm & Hammer Platinum SLIDE Easy Clean, Clumping Litter, Multi-Cat is incredible b/c it slides off the bottom of the automated litter robot. Far less cleaning. I was shocked just how good it worked. You don't get the caked-up clay on the bottom or sides anymore which means you don't have to take it apart and clean the inside litter ball. Huge time savings and it doesn't track that bad.

The grey cat you have is identical to the cat I took in. It is small in size, I have been feeding it for months in hopes of bringing in in the winter. You are teaching me awesome things about cats. But when we play th

When we play he constantly gets me with his claw's.

Not sure if you've solved the cat litter problem-- I found that placing the litter box in collapsible storage cubes help contain the litter sand, also I switched to wood pellet litter 'sand' which reduces the odors by 90% and the mess as well

I couldn’t imagine that in Korea there is such a problem as street cats. I had an idea that Koreans are highly conscious ppl and take care of their pets. I live in Dubai and street cats and cats abandoned by their owners are everywhere. Sad reality. I have 2 rescues of my own and I live in a small studio. Sometimes it gets overwhelming and I struggle to sleep at night. But I love them. I don’t have anyone closer than them in this country.

I wanna get a second cat and also get or make stuff for the cat to be happier and active! Love the video btw.

Nice video.

Lovely cats, clean home

Can you please tell me where you purchased your cat wheel from? & btw your apartment is amazing! 🐈 ❤️

Yeah I rescued 9 domestic short hairs , whole nine yards shots, neutered, abortions from incest. Now down to 3 and they have incredible landscape to play, sleep inside heated basement in winter and AC in summer, they have everything cats can want and more, toys, snacks, real grass, fresh & dried catnip, filtered and rain water several varieties of wet food and two kinds of dry food, and give ‘em attention as much as I can but still nooooooooo, they’re bored but so is life and I feel good saving them. They’re about 7years old now and I love em Zorro, Esmeralda, & Fonzi

BTW... What brand is the exercise wheel? I love it b/c it is white and doesn't have carpet where my cats get their claws snagged.

@monsieurtn

3 жыл бұрын

That wheel is from a company here in Korea! Unfortunately I couldn't find anything similar from western markets :( other than the ones that are usually advertised. That's a good question! There are times when I'm working on something that have a lot of physical parts to assemble so they gang up on me and try to play with whatever is lying on the floor - this drives me a bit crazy hahaha. But otherwise no, usually they'll be on the 'cat wall' or hanging around just watching whatever is around them (until next play time of course).

Love your apartment! I am considering adopting a cat. Since your studio is so compact, I'm assuming you're not able to prevent them from getting near the door/area where outdoor shoes are stored? I'd like to keep that separate from them to keep things clean but I wonder if that's even possible lol. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I take my bicolour male rescue out every night on a harness and leash for walks because he gets restless in my 680 sq ft one-bedroom flat. My other cat, a female torby, is happy to stay indoors.

I also think that it's not impossible to live with more than 1 cat. I live in a small tow but the traffic is intensive and I have lost cats due to car incidents. It's horrible to lose a pet! So now I think it's better to have them inside most of the time.

I just move to this studio from a big house.

And after this the old cat seems less interested in playing with me.
