It is believed that the most active time for a cat is the time when the owner is getting ready for work or returning home.

If a cat does not have its own space to sleep, time for it, and is constantly disturbed, then this will be real stress for it.

This will reflect on her character.

She may become more aggressive, want to spend more time alone, and stop eating normally.

Therefore, you should not ignore the fact that the animal also needs its own place to sleep and rest. It should be made as comfortable as possible.
