Buying a Cat House in Montenegro

Updated: Aug 4


When I moved to Montenegro, I needed a house for my cat, Whiskers. This simple task became quite an adventure!


I started looking in local pet stores. Each shop was different. Some were small and cozy, others were big and modern.


My first stop was a small shop in the old town. The owner, an elderly lady, greeted me with a smile. "Dobar dan! How can I help you?" she asked. I told her I needed a house for my cat. She showed me many cat houses. There were wicker baskets, wooden huts, and even small castles.


Whiskers is picky, so I needed to choose carefully. Here are some tips I learned:

  1. Know Your Cat's Likes: Whiskers loves to climb and hide, so I looked for a house with levels and hiding spots. If your cat likes cozy places, choose a soft, enclosed house.

  2. Check the Size: The house should be big enough for your cat to move around. Cats love to stretch and curl up.

  3. Think About the Material: Some cats like soft houses, others like wooden ones. The material should be strong and easy to clean.

  4. Talk to the Salesperson: The shop owners in Montenegro are very helpful. Ask for their advice. They might have custom-made options.

  5. Safety: The house should be stable and free from sharp edges.


In one shop, I found a cat house that looked like a mini Montenegrin villa. It had two floors, a cave at the bottom, and a perch on top. The salesperson gave me a discount and a free catnip toy.


In a modern pet store, a young man helped me. He showed me many options and let me test them with a toy cat. This helped me see if the house was stable.

I bought the Montenegrin villa-style cat house. Whiskers loved it. She explored it and then settled on the top perch. Watching her enjoy her new home made me happy.


My advice to anyone buying a cat house in Montenegro is to take your time, talk to the locals, and enjoy the process. Montenegrin pet stores have a lot of character, and the people are very friendly. You might end up with a little Montenegrin charm in your home!


So, next time you're in a pet store, don't rush. Ask questions, share your cat's likes, and have fun. Your furry friend deserves the best!



Prdavac: Dobar dan! Kako mogu da vam pomognem?

Kupac: Dobar dan! Tražim kućicu za moju mačku, Whiskersa.

Prdavac: Naravno! Imamo mnogo različitih kućica. Da li vaša mačka voli da se penje ili da se skriva?

Kupac: Whiskers voli da se penje i skriva. Da li imate nešto sa nivoima i skrivenim mestima?

Prdavac: Da, imamo. Evo nekoliko kućica sa različitim nivoima i mestima za skrivanje. Ova kućica izgleda kao mala vila iz Crne Gore.

Kupac: Ovo izgleda savršeno! Ali, može li biti malo veća?

Prdavac: Da, imamo i veće veličine. Evo, probajte ovu. Da li je dovoljno velika?

Kupac: Da, ovo je bolje. Koji materijali su najbolji za mačke?

Prdavac: Zavisi od mačke. Neke vole meke kućice od tkanine, dok druge vole čvrste drvene kućice. Ova je napravljena od drveta i veoma je izdržljiva.

Kupac: To je odlično. Da li je stabilna? Ne želim da se ljulja kad Whiskers skoči na nju.

Prdavac: Naravno, možemo je testirati sa ovom igračkom mačkom. Vidite, vrlo je stabilna.

Kupac: Hvala. Još jedno pitanje, da li su veličine ovde iste kao u Italiji ili Francuskoj?

Prdavac: Veličine mogu biti različite između zemalja. Italijanske i francuske veličine su često manje. Crnogorske i nemačke veličine su obično standardne. Uvek je najbolje probati pre kupovine.

Kupac: Razumem. Ovo mi se stvarno sviđa. Uzeću ovu kućicu. Imate li savete za druge kupce?

Prdavac: Naravno. Uvek je dobro znati šta vaša mačka voli, proveriti veličinu kućice, materijal i stabilnost. Takođe, pričajte sa prodavcima, rado će vam pomoći.

Kupac: Hvala puno! Whiskers će biti srećna u svojoj novoj kućici.

Prdavac: Nema na čemu! Drago mi je da sam mogao da pomognem. Prijatan dan!

Kupac: Hvala! Doviđenja!
