An Indoors Cat Must Have A Cat Tree
A cat is a wonderful addition to a family, and both children and parents will appreciate having a cat for a pet. They are affectionate, they are friendly and they will happily climb on your lap in the evening and purr when you scratch them under the chin.
But gradually there is a growing trend towards housing pet cats indoors 24 hours a day. There is a number of reasons for this, however one of the major reasons is the tendency for cats to hunt, particularly at night, though during the day as well, and decimate the local wildlife.
Cats can play havoc with the lives of our wonderful nocturnal native animals.
And now experts are recommending that you keep your cat indoors every night and preferably each day as well.
And that’s fine, provided you understand that cats are extremely active animals, they love to run, jump play and climb.
If one day you have a little spare time go outside and watch your cat playing and climbing trees. You won’t believe how well and how fast a cat can climb a tree.
So if you’re now intending to keep your cat indoors you know how important it is to cater to his normal instincts to play, to run and to climb. Because if he is indoors all day his normal outlets for these things have been taken away.
The good news is that there is some excellent cat furniture which does the job very well. There are now some very effective pieces of furniture variously called cat trees or cat gyms, or towers or condos, all of which refer to pieces of furniture which are specifically dedicated to providing your cat with a place to play, sleep and climb to his heart’s content.
When the penny drops and he suddenly discovers his new cat tree you won’t be able to keep him off it. They are weird looking devices with all sorts of play places for him to climb, lie in or sleep in, and for cat play .
And a good cat tree will also serve another purpose. Cats love to scratch and it’s in their nature to do so, so it’s unlikely you will ever stop them doing it. And as a result you may find that you get driven out of your mind from your cat tearing up the legs of your favourite table. A good tree will provide your cat, provided you teach him how to use it, with the perfect place to scratch away and do all the damage that he wants.
So if I’ve convinced you about the importance of keeping your cat indoors, by all means do so but buy him a cat tree to make sure he is able to play and to climb as he always did, and watch how he enjoys his new cat furniture.
