Why Cats Need a Place to Climb

For cat lovers and cat owners, it is important to understand the needs of cats. As you walk around your home and observe the layout and furniture in your home, think about it: Do these provide your cat with a space to climb, scratch, and mark territory? Does your cat have the opportunity to experience the feeling of hunting or adventure? In fact, cats living indoors also need plenty of activities, and the right cat furniture[^1] provides pet owners with a simple and effective way to keep cats active and happy.

Feline Instincts

As natural hunters, cats have many innate instinctive behaviors. From zoological research, cats instinctively like to climb from different heights and observe the surrounding environment. This behavior is not only for finding prey but also for ensuring their own safety. In the wild, cats will climb to high places to avoid predators and observe their territory. For indoor cats[^2], they cannot explore high places freely like outdoors, and cat trees[^3] are the perfect solution to this problem. Cat trees usually have multiple levels, providing cats with abundant exploration space. By climbing [cat trees [^3], cats can exercise their instincts while also relieving the stress that comes with sharing their territory with family or other pets.

Healthy Activities

While indoor cats[^2] don’t face the same dangers and health risks as outdoor cats, such as vehicles and other animals, they face their own issues. Studies have shown that indoor cats[^2] are often prone to depression and excess weight due to lack of adequate activity. Providing your cat with physical and mental challenges is essential for a happier, healthier life. In addition to providing [cat furniture [^1], using a variety of toys to entertain your cat is also a great way to do so. For example, a feathered cat teaser can simulate a bird, triggering your cat’s hunting instincts and getting them to pounce on it like they would in the wild. A moderate amount of play every day will not only stimulate their senses but also improve their social relationships at home and enhance interaction with their owners.
