It’s natural for cats to enjoy climbing, and when your cat has a cat tree, just owning it can do a lot to prevent your cat from climbing the furniture or drapes! Cat trees come in all shapes and sizes, and are great for kittens, adults, and seniors. When you provide your kitten with a cat tree at a young age, they will start to associate the cat tree as their space. Kittens will claw on the cat tree instead of the furniture, and they will also want to sleep in their cat tree instead of the bed or sofa. For longhaired cats that shed often, it’s great to train them where to sleep instead of having to vacuum and wash all the time.
Cats associate high places, like trees, with places of safety because their ancient ancestors would flee to a high place to escape predators. It’s important for all cats to have a perch, and a cat tree is the best option for homeowners who want to preserve their furniture.
