How can I prevent my cat from making a mess in the house?

To prevent your cat from making a mess in the house, make sure to provide plenty of toys and scratching posts for them to play with and use. Keep their litter box clean and in a quiet, accessible location. Consider using deterrents like double-sided tape or citrus scents on surfaces you want to protect. Additionally, provide regular exercise and mental stimulation to keep your cat engaged and less likely to cause trouble.
