Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cat tree, and why is it important for my cat?
A cat tree is a piece of furniture designed for cats to climb, scratch, play, and rest. It provides a safe and stimulating environment, helping to satisfy their natural instincts and reduce destructive behavior like scratching furniture.
How do I choose the right cat tree for my cat?
Consider your cat's size, age, and activity level. For active cats, look for tall cat trees with multiple levels and play features. For older or less agile cats, choose a tree with lower platforms and cozy resting spots.
Are cat trees safe for my cat?
Yes, cat trees are designed with cats' safety in mind. Look for sturdy materials, stable bases, and rounded edges. Ensure the tree is securely placed to avoid tipping over during play.
How do I encourage my cat to use the cat tree?
Place the cat tree in a spot where your cat likes to spend time, such as near a window. Use toys, treats, or catnip to entice your cat to explore and use the tree.
Can multiple cats share the same cat tree?
Yes, but it’s essential to choose a cat tree with enough space and levels for all your cats. Look for a tree with multiple platforms, hideouts, and scratching posts to accommodate their needs and minimise territorial disputes.
