Hello how may I help you? I just got a cat and I am about to move. How big of a place should I look for? Cats don't require too much space, but they need some room to roam around Ok how many sqft do I need for it to roam Cats should have about 300 square feet to be comfortable ok. That shouldnt be too big of a problem great! I'm sure your cat will be happy wherever you end up Would activities make my cat even happier. I am about to have a lot of boxes cats love boxes! Great. you'll be a great cat owner!
