My cat slowly walking on, but then jumping over the grille until she finally walks around it.

    To be fair i don’t like walking on those either. It feels almost like walking on ice to me for some reason

    I’m basically Pavlov-conditioned to upvote the word “Miez” now. They could just post a text post with only the words “Miez cat good” and I’d upvote it instantly.

    A simple strip of cardboard or narrow board would be nice for her to walk on and still let the grate do its grate-y thing.

      You’re right, but that’s a nothing hop for a kitty. Cats utilize vertical space more than we do usually. It’s one reason they get more exercise indoors than dogs can. Unless she’s disabled, in which case by all means accommodate.

      There really is no need as she could simply walk around it without any inconvenience (the grille isn’t as wide as the doors). She just prefers hop over it.

    Should put a mat over that.

    Edit I know there us a need for drainage use a coco mat or dense but still capable of letting water flow thru it.

      Why though even bother? This is just a small hop for her plus the grille isn’t even as wide as the door. She simply prefers to hop instead.
