While we can’t all cut cat-sized holes into our doors, we can take cues from the past and make thoughtful choices for our pets’ happiness and safety. Consider:
-
Creating indoor pet zones with quiet bedding, near natural light.
-
Designing home office corners where your cat can lounge near you.
-
Using smart home thermostats to regulate temperatures for pets while you’re away.
-
Incorporating pet-friendly flooring like bamboo or vinyl for easy cleaning.
And don’t forget to protect what you build. Whether it’s through homeowners insurance, pet health insurance, or simply adding cameras to your garden, today’s tools allow us to modernize that same old-fashioned love and care.
