For aggressive climbers and scratchers choose a cat tree with plenty of levels and scratching posts.

For cats who love to lounge choose a model that features a cat hammock, tunnel or house.

For kitties who love to hide away, choose cat furniture with private, enclosed perches.

If your cat doesn't fit into any one of the categories above choose furniture that has all around features: a scratching post is a must, as well as a comfy cat tray or bed.

Be sure you choose sisal scratching posts in your cat furniture. Cats just love sisal and are naturally driven to its odor. Catowners love sisal too since it steers their cats away from scratching home furnishings!

Other things to consider:

Heavy Cats: If your cat is larger than the average cat choose a cat furniture model with a solid, heavy base. Also, it doesn't hurt to get a multi-level cat tree to encourage exercise. A cat toy will also encourage play and movement.

Cat Age: Kittens, ofcourse, are playful so choose a model that can keep them busy and amused for hours. A nice kitty tunnel and plenty of scratching posts will steer that excess energy in the right direction.

Multiple Cat Households: If you have more than one cat its best to choose a larger model with two or more private cathouses and perches. Cats are territorial creatures and will be happy with their own cathouse.
