5 Ways to Refresh Your Home for You and Your Cat

Spring cleaning isn’t just for humans—it’s the perfect time to hit reset for your cat’s space too. A few small changes can make a big difference in creating a fresher, cleaner, and happier environment for both you and your feline friend. Here are five simple ways to refresh your home, CatGenie-style.

Crack Open the Windows (Safely!)

After a long stretch of closed-up air, nothing feels better than a fresh breeze. Opening the windows helps air out your space and keeps your indoor cat stimulated with new scents and sounds. Just make sure any open windows are securely screened—no one wants an accidental escape mission.

Brush That Cat!

A good brushing isn’t just about reducing shedding—it’s a bonding moment, a stress reliever, and a way to help prevent hairballs. Cats shed more as the weather warms up, so giving your cat a regular grooming session keeps their coat healthy and your floors a little less furry.

Tidy Up the Toys

When was the last time you rounded up all your cat’s toys? Check under the couch, behind the curtains, and in all those secret stashes. Give everything a wipe down or toss the toys that are too far gone. Rotate in some forgotten favorites or introduce a new one to spark fresh playtime energy.

Wash the Cat Blankets

That cozy blanket your cat naps on every day? It could use a wash. Toss it in the laundry (check the care label!) to remove fur, dander, and any hidden smells. Your cat will love curling up in a clean, fresh spot—and your home will smell better for it.

Deep Clean Your CatGenie

Even self-cleaning litter boxes deserve a little TLC now and then. Take some time to give your CatGenie a thorough cleaning: wipe down the outside, clean the bowl, and check for any buildup in the hopper area.

Fresh Start, Happy Cat

Giving your space a refresh doesn’t have to be overwhelming. A little air, a little grooming, and a little extra cleaning go a long way toward making your home feel better—for you and your cat. After all, when your cat is comfortable, life runs a little smoother. Just like your CatGenie.
