Choose a retreat by examining sound, traffic and the option to leave.
Treat scratching as a resource to locate thoughtfully rather than a decoration to hide.
A discreet location is useful only if the cat can reach it and the household can maintain it.
Separate the behavioural opportunity from the structural decisions that need real product evidence.
Look for overlapping access before assuming that more resources in one place are enough.
A new desk, guest or storage habit can quietly change routes that used to work.
