Cat Climber

Problem, cats love to climb so your kitty uses your couch as a tree post racing up and down ruining your favorite nesting spot. Save the furniture buy a cat climber instead, it will save you the cost of a new set of slipcovers.

Cat climbers come in many varieties you can buy high and low; the term the sky’s limit can refer to cat climber, ranging from a few feet high to 5 1/2 feet, higher if you go custom-built. Most are wrapped with sisal or extra strength carpet for scratching. You will find that your cat climber is made with a neutral color palette that goes with any décor.

For the truly crafty person you can build your own using pre-made cat climber plans, naturally if you build your own you can match to your taste. Another alternative would be covering the perch of your cat climber with holiday fabric for the different seasons hey, why not?

Cat climbers may include a hammock, a hiding spot, playful swinging and swiping toys and trees (climbing posts). Or for the more relaxed cat a cat condo with a sleeping hole or two will do, but your little couch cat potato may turn into a wild beast once given the opportunity to explore the nooks and crannies of fully blown kitty deluxe cat climber.

Multi-cats? Get a multi-cat climber, read the fine print, make sure the cat climber you buy supports more than one cat at a time. You don’t want your cat climber to topple over although the say cats land on their feet your plasma TV might be another story. I plan to buy a cat climber for my two cats Sonic and Bella, but I imagine Slinky the dog (who thinks he’s a cat) sneaking his way in there somehow.
