How Senior-Friendly Is Your Home?
Answer these questions to see if your home meets your senior cat's needs:
1. Can your cat easily access their favorite spots without jumping high?
2. Do you have at least one heated or extra-padded bed for joint comfort?
3. Is there a litter box with a low entry point?
4. Are food and water easily accessible without climbing?
5. Have you provided non-slip surfaces in areas your cat frequents?
How it works
Little tweaks, happier senior cats
Why your home setup matters
Creating a comfortable environment for your senior cat doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require some thoughtful adjustments. Many common household setups that work perfectly for younger cats can become challenging for seniors with arthritis, reduced mobility, or sensory changes.
This 5-question assessment helps you evaluate how senior-friendly your home currently is. After completing the quiz, you’ll receive a score along with a customized checklist of improvements specific to your situation. From accessibility solutions to comfort enhancements, these practical recommendations will help you create a more supportive environment for your aging feline companion. Check off items as you implement them, and watch your senior cat’s comfort and happiness improve!
