Cat furniture can be luxurious and modern, just like furniture for humans. If you want the best for your cat, take a look at Whisker’s five best cat furniture options. After all, you don’t want to purchase the wrong (or just plain ugly) piece of furniture for your cat.
Do cats need furniture?
Do cats need furniture? They sure do! Cats may use furniture for a different reason than humans, but it’s an important part of a happy pet household. It is in cats’ natures to climb, rest, and scratch. Having this option will only help them be happier and healthier cats.
What makes a good piece of cat furniture?
Ask yourself this question: What makes a good piece of furniture for you? Is it comfortable, practical, what you need, and worth the cost? Here are some of the main points of consideration when it comes to cat furniture:
Material
Cats need a variety of materials in their lives. Imagine if you were stuck with only concrete. It would not be a happy living situation! You need variety, and so does a cat. Find a good material for your cat that they will love and utilize, such as sisal, carpet, cardboard, or wood.
Purpose
Every piece of furniture has a purpose. Your side table is not meant for lounging. Your bed is specifically made for you to sleep on. Cat furniture, like a beautiful cat tree, has its own specific use. A cat tree is used to be played, exercised, and slept on. You should be looking to buy a piece of cat furniture with a goal in mind.
Cost savings
Cats need a place to scratch and stretch their claws, preferably on different types of surfaces. Without a proper outlet, your cat may start to tear apart your furniture. For example, if your cat scratches your couch to the point of cosmetic or even functional damage, then you will have to buy a new couch.
If you buy the right piece of furniture for your cat to take their “scratching fix” out on, then you will not have to worry about your cat tearing apart your couch. This will leave you with more money in your pocket at the end of the day.
