A couple of weeks ago while Hector was slogging to finish some project one evening we had a 'cat whisperer' type program on in the background.
People with problem cats call this guy and he comes round and advises them on changes in lifestyle. Part of the show was that this guy was alsoa musician, weighed ~250 lbs, bald head, goatee, tattoos etc. so lots of shock value when people open the door to 'the cat guy'.

Anyway, letting several episodes run back to back his solution in each case was basically the same, cat's need a 3D enviromnet, lot's opportunites to climb on shelves or on top of TV's etc. mostly so they can be higher up and look down on everything else (for those of us who have read the Unalderated cat, cats need to play cat chess and win).
In each house he would advise them on clearing shleves and adding climbing toys so that a cat could navigate around a room without touching the floor.
