A practical layout strategy for medium spaces. Designed to reduce conflict, create flow, and test scalable cat wall structures.
Create Two Entry Points
Single entry designs often fail in multi-cat homes due to blocking and hesitation.
- Entry height: 30–45cm
- Keep both entrances equally accessible
- Avoid forcing both cats to use one spot
Build Split or Loop Paths
A single straight path creates conflict. A split path allows natural movement.
- Create a Y-shape or loop structure
- Allow cats to pass each other
- Avoid dead-end routes
Add Multiple Resting Zones
One resting point leads to competition. Two or more creates balance.
- Hammock + platform combination works best
- Separate vertically or horizontally
- Ensure both feel equally “safe”
Recommended Starter Layout
This structure balances usability and scalability. Expand only after both cats use it comfortably.
Design for Two Cats, Not One
Avoid conflict. Start with a split layout and expand once both cats are using the wall naturally.
