Yeah, my apartment has definitely been cat proofed...or at least as much as it could ever be. The problem is, of course, that it's an apartment. There really isn't a way to shut a cat out of any rooms other than keeping him out of my bedroom. :lol:

His vertical space includes the kitchen, but the large, high-up windows in my unit are also a spot he likes. I'm still contemplating getting a cat tree, though they really don't make any that are any higher than the windows. He gets high-quality dry and wet food, so I'm guessing he just has...
