What to consider when purchasing a cat tree

Physicality:‌ In order to ensure that your cat tower of choice will be appreciated, you have to consider whether your cat can use it easily. Most cats, regardless of their mobility level, age, and size, enjoy exploring around corners and in holes, but not all cats are up to jumping up or climbing onto high surfaces or small landing pads. There is plenty of cute cat furniture that's low to the ground and simply constructed if that's something your cat will enjoy playing in more.

Size:‌ Not only does the size of a cat tree need to work with the cat you're buying it for, but the tower itself should work well within your own living space. Cat furniture is available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, and some even hang over the backs of doors, which can be a helpful and practical way for people in smaller dwellings to offer enrichment to their feline friends.

Function:‌ Items like cat condos are meant to enrich the lives of our cats, and each cat has their own preferred activities that add to their mental health and physical well-being. Most cat towers offer places to climb and perch on, while others feature hiding spaces, tunnels, hammocks, scratcher posts, and nests for napping as well. Learning what types of enrichment activities your cat enjoys can help inform your decision when searching for the best cat furniture.
