How We Keep Cats Stress-Free During Their Stay
Cats don’t just dislike stress—they loathe it. New sounds, new smells, unfamiliar people? It’s a sensory overload waiting to happen. If you’re an introvert, and you have to live in a stranger’s home for a few days, you’d understand how a cat feels in a new place.
At The Tiny Toots, we take cat comfort seriously. Here’s how we keep stress low and whiskers high.
🧘 Feline-First Environment
We designed our cat spaces around peace and privacy:
- No barking dogs
- Soft lighting
- Minimal foot traffic
- Species-specific rooms
- Enrichment that doesn’t overstimulate
Each cat has its own room—no bars, no cages, and definitely no sharing unless they’re a bonded pair.
“Cats feel safest when they can choose where to hide, climb, and rest. Choice is comfort.” – Dr. Tony Buffington, feline stress expert
🕐 Gradual Introductions
On arrival, we give cats time to:
- Sniff the room
- Find their favorite perch
- Approach us in their own time
We don’t force interaction. Cats lead, we follow.
🎵 Sound, Scent & Space
We use:
- Feliway diffusers (mimics calming pheromones)
- Minimal synthetic scents
- Plenty of vertical spaces for escape and control
- Lots of spaces to hide in
Tip: Send something that smells like home—blankets, worn t-shirts, toys. It makes a huge difference.
🍽️ Familiar Feeding & Gentle Routines
We keep to your cat’s feeding schedule, and use the same food you provide. This eliminates confusion and maintains consistency.
We monitor:
- Appetite
- Litter habits
- Grooming and behavior
Any change? You’ll be the first to know.
📷 Daily Check-Ins
We don’t just peek in—we observe. Your updates include notes like:
- “Nala napped in her hideout.”
- “Oreo played with the feather wand!”
- “Tigger purred when brushed today.”
Real insight, not generic photos.
