Cat Furniture Keeps the Peace
Cats need their own objects in the house to act out their instinct driven behaviors.
There are cat trees, scratching posts, and other fun pieces of furniture owners can buy to keep their felines out of trouble.
Cats are one of the most popular household pets.
According to a survey conducted by The Humane Society, there are almost 94 million owned cats in the United States.
They are complex animals with many instinctual behaviors.
Some of these instincts are what makes them the ideal household pet and some get them into trouble.
Toys as simple as aluminum foil balls, structures known as cat trees or scratching posts, and plants like cat nip can keep your indoor cat from being mischievous.
Clawing, jumping, and hiding are examples of a cat's natural impulses.
These behavioral instincts are not preventable, but they can be diverted toward appropriate objects and toys.
The goal is to give your cat what he is instinctively looking for so that the behaviors are not carried out where they shouldn't be, like the living room sofa.
Ruined furniture and knocked over breakables are often the results of instincts gone awry.
With its multiple platforms, hiding spaces, and sisal wrapped posts, a cat tree can be a ideal solution to avoid such occurrences.
Each part of the tree provides an outlet for a specific instinctual behavior.
The owner complaining about their ruined furniture usually doesn't have special cat furniture in their home and are unknowingly causing their cat to ruin their nice things.
Misconceptions about their looks, size, and function, are often why people don't purchase furniture for their felines.
Cat trees come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and designs.
It is almost impossible to not find one that fits your décor.
As responsible pet owners, it is our job to keep our cats happy and healthy.
To scold them when they are doing what they are biologically programmed to do, is not fair.
Providing them with stimulating toys, their own furniture to jump on, and a place to scratch their claws is just as much a must as providing them with a litter box.
Until a cat is given their own place, like a cat tree, to claw, jump, and hide they should not be reprimanded for finding somewhere else to do it.
