How to Pick Cat Furniture

Create a play place for feline friends by buying cat furniture that will increase their contentment and decrease their scratching on your furniture. Pick cat furniture that not only fits into your décor, but enhances your cat’s comfort and activity level.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Ensure the cat furniture has a wide, sturdy base. One incident of the cat furniture tipping and your cautious feline may avoid it entirely. If you’re buying floor-to-ceiling towers, anchor them for stability.

2. Buy cat furniture that suits your style so it blends with your home décor. Choose carpeted cat furniture that color coordinates with your home. Pick cat furniture in neutral colors so the pieces won’t be the first thing guests notice as they enter the room.

3. Choose cat furniture that you can tuck into the niches of your home, particularly if you’re short on space. Try tall towers, climbing posts or carpeted cylinders where cats can take warm naps. The cat furniture will make efficient use of space and your cat will love the “secret” play place.

4. Pick cat furniture with features your feline will love. Units with tall posts, tunnels, cubby holes and a variety of textured fabrics will provide spots to scratch, climb, hide and sleep.

5. Consider cat furniture with dangling ribbons, cloth toys or fuzzy mice that hang from tunnels and posts. They’ll encourage activity and keep your cat entertained while you’re away. Change it up by adding new toys to the cat furniture to keep your cat interested.
