Cat Towers

What is a cat tower? They go by several names. Cat towers are also called cat condos, cat trees or cat gyms. A cat tower is a piece of cat furniture designed to stimulate your cat's natural playful tendencies of scratching, climbing and hiding. Cats just want to have fun!

Cat towers are a great way for active cats to play, exercise and relax. They vary widely in style, features and height. Towers may include cabins or dens, hanging toys, ladders and scratching posts. Since most cats like to climb they tend to prefer the taller towers because the extra height allows them to see everything in their environment. A good cat tower might also have a comfy platform on which your pet can perch. There the cat can watch the activity in a room, tying in to its age-old instinct to stalk.

If you provide your cat with an ideal place to scratch and encouraging its use, you can avoid unwanted scratching behavior on other items of furniture.
