Cat Furniture
Cat furniture is not limited to scratching posts, trees, gyms, condos, and playhouses. Cradles, seats, trays, and scratch and sit fixtures are common in cat adorers’ homes. Designs like mountaintop, high skyscraper, teetering castle, opulent beastly pleasure den, steps, and the tower are all in high demand because cats love to climb up high, curl up and sleep, and scratch around vigorously. The sisal carpet and other materials allow for ample scratching that satisfies the cat while maintaining the integrity of the carpet. There are plenty of designs in prices under $100.
Kitty palaces and real trees are seen in the prime cat furniture set-ups in luxury rooms designed just for cats. Cat furniture is as diverse as the cat breeds themselves. Empty shelves, steps, tunnels, and tubes are all very engaging to a cat’s curious endeavors.
A simple explanation of each of the main cat furniture items is sufficient. However, your cat should be the judge of playfulness, excitement, and fun. Good cat trees are the first item. Outdoors, most cats charge up trees or paw at them. This serves the purpose of territory marking, and cats, instinctively, mark their territories. Bases shouldn’t shake, tip over, wobble, or be unsteady. Cat condos are even humorous to pronounce. They’re not literal rented condominums, of course. They’re just little stands with perches, hiding places like tunnels and caves, and they’re usually covered in carpet for clawing and scratching as well as sleeping on. They’re similar to a tree but with more versatility. Cat gyms are specially designed for maximal playtime in a single item. Lots of levels, columns, and flat surfaces are used – sometimes 5 or 6 of each – and this gives the cat maximal play within a limited space setting. There are multiple tiers, in other words.
Some people like to get literal or anthropormphic with their cat furniture and actually buy small couches and beds for their cats. These are usually covered in fleece, wool, or a faux fur because cats love to snuggle into a nested blanket-like pad. It’s not such a bad idea to give your cat his own bed because he can leave hair and germs on yours if he sleeps on it too often.
