Did it take you very long to start thinking about discount cat furniture? We have some cat furniture in our home that looks a lot like human furniture. In fact...I think it is...Did it take long for your cat to show you how they they love to climb, need to potty, like to sleep in odd places, and maybe even want to go inside the kitchen cabinets? From: Kate
and the Coolest Cat Care Gang
Cats love to climb. Curtains, plants, rocking chairs, ladders, trees, you name it. If it goes up, your cat has climbed it.
Then there is the cat litter box. Some are simple in design, while others can be more elaborate. If you followed our recommendations, you probably have multiple litter boxes around the house. Did your cat express favoritism for litter box location in your bedroom, living room or family room? Some place that wasn't your first choice?
If the location makes you cringe how about the style? There are several litter a box designs to please us felines. One pot does not fit all. Would you like to make it disappear?
You aren't alone in wishing that:
- the litter box would disappear
- your cat would choose a sleeping location other than the top of the frig
- the wall tapestry was no longer an invitation to 'hang around'
- the darling just watch her human from the floor and not the top of the china cabinet
Sometimes its easy to change an undesirable habit, like teaching your kitten to use a cat litter box. Other behavior patterns are a bit more challenging to change. What if Pierre has decided that his best option for his cat claw control is to dig them into your mother's French Provincial dining room table? Did throwing forks at him stop this practice? Probably not.
We've found some great options in cat furniture to appease Miss Daisy's desire for elevation, while keeping it attractive to even the most discerning interior decorator. If you'd rather camouflage the litter box in the living room there are several alternatives in discount cat furniture. Of course, the ultimate sleeping zone may really be your bed, but Daisy may find it exciting to rest on a window shelf or gorgeous cat-tree tower.
Here are some factors to consider when purchasing discount cat furniture. Look for something that pleases your eye, yet is functional and appealing to the feline. Cats love high perches, cozy caves, and carpet or sisal scratchers to name a few. Find out if the products can be customized for your decor or minimally if they come in different colors. After all, the goal is something the cat will use and something you want to show off to guests.
The flip side is that cats aren't always eager to enjoy the gifts their humans brings home. Even though they enjoy a high perch, they might need a little coaxing to get the hang of things. Your best solution is to provide an alternative that is far more satisfying that that old piece of antiquated cherry furniture.
It could even be that the cat doesn't realize that the discount cat furniture is meant for us. It looks just like something their human uses. Use catnip or treats to lure your feline from shelf to shelf on the new cat tree furniture.
Also, furniture placement may be the key to acceptance. Try placing the unit near a favorite window or other favorite spot in your house. If you are replacing old cat potty pan with a new enclosed Scandinavian design, try putting the old pan inside the new "potty cave". Keep some existing potty in the tray so the scent attracts your kitty.
The cat furniture should be as safe as other pieces of wooden furniture in your home, like chairs, stools, and shelving units. Find out if the products were home tested in
households with toddlers, cats (and dogs). The products must be designed for cats, yet not be a hazard to children or other pets. Some child behavior modification may be required.
