Which home setup is best for a Devon Rex that wants company?

Your home needs to be a cozy hangout spot because this breed basically thinks it's a small, furry person who never wants to be alone. Set up a cat tree or shelf right next to your desk or couch so they can supervise your every move while you work or binge-watch shows. Also, having a second pet-like a dog or another cat-is a game-changer because they'll entertain each other when you're out getting groceries.

Back in my day, we just let the cat follow us from room to room and that was enough, but these little rascals need a bit more thought. I'd say turn your living space into a hub with a sturdy window perch by the busiest window, maybe overlooking a bird feeder, and a soft bed right next to your favorite chair so they're always in the thick of things. If you're gone for long stretches, a second cat or even a calm dog is the old-fashioned way to keep them from getting lonesome, just like we used to do with barn cats and a friendly mutt.

Invest in a convertible floor plan where every room has a perch or a cozy nook, because this cat will follow you like a stock ticker. I’d budget for a heated cat bed near your workstation and a window seat with a view of the front door, so they can monitor your comings and goings like a hawk. If you’re not home for eight hours, the payback on a second feline or a dog is huge, since you’ll avoid shredded furniture from loneliness, but don’t skimp on the quality of the companion, or you’ll lose your security deposit in cat drama.
