For all Cat Owners | Cat-Friendly Home Design

With their lovable personality, domestic cats make great companion pets.

Cohabiting with cats requires understanding how living spaces affect their adaptability. While busy in modern life, there is a need to build a co-living space that we can live soundly and harmoniously with our endearing felines.

Like humans, cats rely on a familiar and safe habitat, which affects them deeply.

Did you know?

Cats’ Thermo Temperament | Cat-Friendly Home Design

Domestic cats’ thermoneutral zone typically ranges from 30°C to 38 °C. When in such an ambient temperature range, they can adapt and regulate their body temperatures naturally through regulating dry heat loss. Thermal discomfort is a common unpleasant experience for us, humans, too.

Cats generally adapt better to a warmer ambience, while we prefer a colder temperature to cool down in the tropical climate. Not forgetting we have the technological means to adapt to warm or cold weather.

Cats are highly sensitive to surroundings and need to behaviourally thermoregulate.

Cats’ Explorative Nature | Cat-Friendly Home Design

Felines are territorial when it comes to tangible surroundings, especially when they feel encroached. They are explorative by nature and thus tend to be curious about their surroundings and inch towards exploring physically.

Possessing the natural instinct to hunt, they enjoy the process of probing the ground and its surrounding objects. The potential consequences? Spilling food and drinks and drool that stick onto the floor, which greets you unexpectedly and unpleasantly as you walk, or worse, their overzealous actions causing upheaval to the co-living home.

The Co-Living Environment | Cat-Friendly Home Design

Microelements such as heated cat houses, insulated beddings, scratching posts and functional artefacts provide cats with comforting rest spaces to behaviourally thermoregulate and encourage them with interactive play spaces.

On top of that, we also need to invest in macro elements such as floors, walls and lightings. A good balance between micro and macro elements helps them to adapt naturally in the long term. More importantly, how can we build a safe and lasting environment to coexist with our beloved cats?

Here are a few Metallic Epoxy Layers outlined with their recommended features that would be useful.

Floor Sealant Layer | Cat-Friendly Home Design

By creating an airtight and waterproof layer to prevent air and moisture from being trapped before the epoxy application begins, it seals the floor to remove cracks and pores.

With pets around the house, it is even more important to clean floors regularly. Floor surfaces with lesser pores will trap less dirt and furs and prevent bacteria growth, making them easier to clean.

Gloss Anti-Slip | Cat-Friendly Home Design

This floor finishing provides a fine balance between rough and gloss surfaces.

Functionally, its relatively gritty texture provides cats and humans firm traction to prevent slips, as well as shielding against the impact of cat and human activities.

Aesthetically, its polished finishing presents the colors and effects of its design well.

Strach resistance

Highly Slip and Scratch Resistant | Cat-Friendly Home Design

By bringing industrial-quality epoxy to residential use, Metallic Epoxy provides slip and scratch resistance to prevent cats from scrambling and rough-housing with their claws and paws. Minimizing the impact of furniture moving or house renovations.

High slip

Stain and Chemical Proof | Cat-Friendly Home Design

Domestic cats can be toilet-trained with minimum accidents when going number one or two. However, on occasions when accidents occur, you need a floor that is highly stained resistant to clean up the mess efficiently. Chemical resistance is a must to tolerate tough cleansers with high or concentrated levels of chemical contents.

On the other hand, as cats have highly sensitive noses, you need to be careful in selecting a safe cleaning solvent.

Conclusion | Cat-Friendly Home Design

You may be intrigued by the prospect of adopting a feline pet but not able to during this period. Cats, like any other pet, deserves wholehearted care.

You can make good use of this period to read pet knowledge. Consider legal and financial implications, and weigh up home impact and family members’ commitment to cat adoption. Check out the sites below!

Introduction | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

Today, we discuss what you should consider when choosing an interior surfacing material for a pet-friendly household.

Maximising your peace of mind and your furry friend’s comfort.

The editor apologises in advance for the amount of cat/dog gifs in this post.

The 4 Criteria | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

While every pet has its quirks. There are some good general rules that you can consider when choosing a floor.

Keeping in mind the comfortability of your pet while ensuring it to last a long time.

Scratch Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

Skittering claws and rough-housing will scuff up your floors really quickly without a high level of scratch resistance.

Stain/Chemical Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

Toilet-trained cats and dogs are great. They rarely have accidents when going number one or two.

However, on the occasion that they do, you’d want a stain-resistant floor that cleans up well. Not forgetting a chemical-resistant floor that will tolerate cleansers. Spilled food or drool are also potential hazards.

Slip Resistance | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

Recall having nightmares where you’re trying to run but you just don’t move?

Don’t subject your fur babies to the same horror! A floor that provides good traction allows your pet to move with more comfort and safely land from higher surfaces.

Porosity | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

With pets around the house, it is even more important to clean your floors regularly. Materials with fewer pores trap less dirt and organic debris, making it easier to keep your floors clean.

Comparing the Common Types of Flooring | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

With the above considerations in mind.

Below are some of the most common flooring types and how they hold up in a fur-friendly household.

Best Pet-Friendly Flooring
Vinyl: Cheap and easily replaced. ©carpetdepotdouglasville

Vinyl/Linoleum: 3.5/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 2/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 3/5
Slip Resistance: 4/5
Porosity: 4/5

Summary of Vinyl & Linoleum

Tends to scratch easily, even with a wear-resistant layer. However, vinyl and linoleum provide a softer flooring that reduces the noise of pets running around.

Vinyl will permanently stain when exposed to natural rubber products, such as non-slip food dishes or water bowls.

Ceramic/Porcelain: 2.5/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 2/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 3/5
Slip Resistance: 2/5
Porosity: 1-3/5

Summary of Ceramic & Porcelain

Ceramic and porcelain tend to scratch easily and generally do not provide good traction.

While matte tiles give more grip, most pets still slip on ceramic tiles. The porosity of ceramic and grout also contribute to dirtier floors.

Some types of ceramic and porcelain tiles can be permanently stained by pet urine as well.

Marble is exquisite, luxurious.. and not a very good choice if you have pets. ©cachorrogato

Marble: 1.5-2/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 1/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 1/5
Slip Resistance: 2/5
Porosity: 2/5

Summary of Marble

Marble is definitely not pet-friendly. It scratches and stains easily, provides poor traction, and is highly porous.

Even if sealed to mitigate porosity, the sealed layer is easily scratched off by active pets. Urine, spilled food, and pet drool are big hazards when considering staining.

A small pro is that many pets enjoy lying on its cool surface.

Let's just emphasise on the importance of traction at home. ©giphy

Hardwood: 2.3/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 2/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 3/5
Slip Resistance: 1/5
Porosity: 3/5

Summary of Hardwood

Even when sealed by a protective layer, hardwood is prone to scratches from active pets. Any breaches in the protective layer exposes the wood.

With Metallic Epoxy Floorings and its replenishable protective topcoat, you can be sure of a right choice for your interior surface.

Metallic Epoxy: 4.5/5 | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Scratch Resistance: 4/5
Stain/Chemical Resistance: 5/5
Slip Resistance: 5/5
Porosity: 5/5

Summary of Metallic Epoxy

In all regards, Metallic Epoxy is the perfect material for a pet-friendly household.

Besides providing a Stain and Water Proof surface. It also provides a chemical proof finish to withstand accidental pees and heavy floor cleaners.

Not forgetting the material’s good traction and wear resistance. It also has slight ductility which absorbs impact well and reduces noises produced by playful pets.

To add on, steam cleaners allow you to keep your floors clean with ease

Metallic Epoxy Singapore Floorings are not only pet-friendly, they are also baby-safe and food-safe!

Conclusion | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring

Reviewing our choices, your best bet for a pet-friendly flooring is indisputably Metallic Epoxy.

However, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option, vinyl and linoleum are cheap to install. But before heading further, do note that they are less durable than Metallic Epoxy. 

This in turn may cause inconvenience and eventually being much more costly due to the constant replacement.

Be wary of cheap products though! They just might scratch you back when you least expect it. ©giphy

What It Means For You | Best Pet-Friendly Flooring 

Metallic Epoxy also offers a drastically larger range of designs and colour options.

Considering that you’re able to customise the colour, pattern, and pigment used during the installation. You can get the best suited design and coloration to suit your theme & preference! In contrast, vinyl and linoleum are limited by commercially printed designs.

While the remaining flooring types are still viable. You will be subjected to the costs and hassle of regular maintenance. Not forgetting, at the expense of your furry friend’s comfort too!
