Does your feline pal have a cat tower or pet tent? If so, that’s great! Fluffy isn’t exactly shy about borrowing your things. However, she does benefit from having pieces that were made just to suit her. A local Dallas, GA vet offers some tips on getting kitty furniture below.
Towers
Cat towers are great for kitties: they offer nail-care stations, lookout points, jungle gyms, napping spots, and give your pet a place where she can observe and judge you. Keep your furry pal’s age in mind when choosing one. Kittens will probably go for a tower that incorporates toys, ramps, and ladders, while older cats will likely prefer one with lower levels and lots of comfy napping spots. If you have more than one kitty, get something that will fit all of your furry friends at once. Otherwise, Fluffy and Gizmo may squabble over the tower.
Beds
One of the best ways to spoil your kitty is to make sure that she has plenty of comfy beds to choose from for all those naps. As far as our feline friends are concerned, there’s just no such thing as too many beds! Store-bought beds are great, but you can also put soft pillows or blankets on an ottoman or in a box or wicker basket. Ideally, you’ll want to give your drowsy pet at least one comfy bed or napping spot in each room.
Tents, Condos, And Tipis
Kitties are very curious, and love to explore nooks and crannies. They also feel secure in small, enclosed spaces. Give your pet lots of things to investigate. Kitty tunnels are great, but you can also offer Fluffy pet tents and tipis. Your furry friend will probably also be more than happy with a cardboard box or paper grocery bag. Rearrange things regularly to keep things fun and fresh for your nosy little pet.
DIY Options
If you like, you can make your feline buddy’s things. You’ll find lots of great ideas online. For example, you can turn an old stepladder into a cat tower. Widen out the steps by adding smooth planks, then cover it in carpet or sisal rope. You can also do similar things with bookcases, storage racks, or even real tree branches.
