Guide to Cat Furniture:
by KittyKondo.com
Cat Personalities:
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.
