Sturdy Cat Trees Best Cat Trees

Cat trees are large (or occasionally not so large) objects that your cat can use for scratching, relaxing, and climbing. All of these activities play to your cat’s natural tendencies. Cats enjoy climbing and scratching, and a cat tree gives them a place to do so without damaging your furniture with their fur or claws. Set up the cat tree with a view to increase its allure (preferably out a window, so your cat can gaze upon the neighborhood birdies).

Are higher cat trees preferable?
However, “you might want a cat tree that is really tall if you have a cat who is athletic and jumps on your table and runs across the back of the sofa.” If you’re unsure, pick a tree that is roughly the same height as your windows so that your cat will have “something to gaze at.”

Most cats like to be in eminent positions. Your cat might feel more at ease in the upper part of the room where he can more confidently keep an eye on the world around and below him, whether it’s a high shelf, a window perch, or the top of the refrigerator.
