[quote=Anonymous]Laundry room.

In past small homes, I had it tucked in a closet in a spare room (put a mat down through the whole closet) and a coat closet (that we didnt use for coats, just non-porous storage). There are some nice cat doors.

A few other random tips for you:
- Love the Litter Robot if you can swing the $500 price tag. I made fun of it for so long... once we got 2 cats, I tried it and only regret not getting it sooner.

- For one cat, or if you can't swing the Litter Robot, Tidy Cats Breeze is amazing. Get the XL box. I know space is already at a premium but the standard size box really is too small for any cat over 9 lbs.

- I had one cat for 16 years, then have had 2 for the last 10 months. Two cats is SO MUCH BETTER. We adopted them as a bonded pair (not siblings though, they were 1 and 2 years old, must have bonded at a shelter). I have zero regrets about having 2, they play with each other snuggle, make it easier when we go on vacation (have a petsitter come), it is just awesome having 2. People always said that and I didn't get it. 
If you are going to adopt only one, pick an adult cat who prefers to be on their own.

- I am a HUGE fan of adopting adult cats, at least 9 months old. You can tell their personality so much more. Cats are who they are, and you can't tell what that is when they are kittens. Now, some scared Cats really warm up and become friendly at home (one of ours is that way), but they will always be more timid, hide when there is a lot for noise or new people type of Cats.

If you are getting kittens under 6 months, 2 are really a must.

- microchip feeders are awesome for 2 cats. I really like the Petkit automatic feeder (for 1 cat) and the water fountain they make. It lifts off the base so you don't have to deal with a power cord, and the inside is stainless steel. It makes refilling and cleaning much easier.

- our cat-only vet advised they should have outdoors time to enrich their mental well-being. We don't have a solid fence though (and would watch them the whole time), so it makes us really nervous. These harnesses are the BEST. Very different than anything you can buy in stores. https://crazy-k-farm.myshopify.com/collections/cats

- Best toys I've found are cat dancer and SmartyKat brand. You'll figure out fast what yours likes. Plan at least 2 20-minute interactive play sessions per day (more if possible, especially if young or only a single cat). Tired and mentally stimulated cats make for a happy home. Our cats really thrive watching Cat TV (birds) on YouTube cast to our TV. We have perches in windows, and they like watching birds through the window... but the YouTube videos really hold their attention longer! I researched it and it is not detrimental to their mental health. Do make sure they have a toy they can grab and "kill" afterwards. Laser toys are frustrating for cats since they can never catch it, so combine with a real toy if you want to use a laser toy.

Good luck! I love having cats! They add a lot to our lives. [/quote]
