Tips on How to Choose the Best Activity Cat Tree Furniture

June 15, 2009 - PRLog -- . First pet furniture of any kind should be functional. You want your pet to use it not just look at it. Pets (especially cats) are naturally curious animals and something new in their territory will defiantly make them investigate. You know the old saying “curiosity killed the cat”? That is exactly what it will be like. But keep in mind that even though your pet “investigates” does not mean they will actually use it. So look over these tips before making your activity cat tree furniture selection. *NOTE: I have also provided a link to one that we recommend.

Tip #1:  Size does matter if you have more than two pets. Multiple pets will require a larger tree to keep everyone happy. The tree will need to have enough space and toys for however many pets you have. Having a positive experience will keep your pets investigating and eventually taking ownership of the tree.
 
Tip #2:  It is very important to match the tree design to the personality and activity level of your pet. For example: Does your cat like to sleep on top of high furniture? Do they like to play in enclosed areas? Does your pet have claws and need a post to scratch on? Answering these questions will help you deciding if you need a tree with high sleeping areas, mini houses on the tree, and scratching areas. Make sure if you have a multiple pet household to choose a cat tree that will accommodate several different activity levels in one single unit.

Tip #3: Over time your cat tree will start to look “used”.  You can extend the life of the tree by choosing a tree that you can easily replace over used parts on. If your pet destroys something on the tree try to fix it or replace it as soon as possible. Most can be replaces or fixed by anyone who is handy with the super glue 

Tip #4:  If you have a declawed or elderly cat then you need to consider their ability to move throughout the tree.  In this situation you need to choose a tree that has ramps to help these cats get from one area to the next.
 
I hope that these basic tips help you in picking the perfect cat tree furniture for your pet.
