Upcycle a cardboard box into a fall-themed scratch pad. Cut to fit, wrap in jute rope or leftover burlap, and add a sprinkle of dried catnip. It doubles as décor — rustic, textural, sustainable — and gives your ESA cat an outlet for energy. Watching them scratch? That’s your mindfulness cue: release, reset, relax.
DIY Moment: When your cat scratches, take one slow breath in — imagine letting go, too.
