A cat makes a fine pet for all members of the family, including children. Cats are affectionate, delightful when sitting on your lap in the evenings and are primarily hassle free pets.

But in modern times there is a trend which is growing towards keeping cats indoors day and night. There’s a range of reasons for doing this but the principal reason is that cats love to hunt and are very good at it. They do so mainly at night but also during the day and can terrorise the local wildlife.

Cats can do serious damage to small native animals which are normally active at night.

And now experts are recommending that you keep your cat indoors every night and preferably each day as well.

And I support that, but it’s also important to understand that cats are extremely active and it’s very important that they be able to climb, to run and to play.

If one day you have a little spare time go outside and watch your cat playing and climbing trees. You won’t believe how well and how fast a cat can climb a tree.

So if you’re now intending to keep your cat indoors you know how important it is to cater to his normal instincts to play, to run and to climb. Because if he is indoors all day his normal outlets for these things have been taken away.

Fortunately there is some wonderful cat furniture available which does this job for you. Cat furniture is dedicated furniture for cats, the purpose of which is to providing him with all the opportunities to play that he would have had outside. You can find cat trees, cat towers , cat gyms and more, all for your favourite feline to play on.

When the penny drops and he suddenly discovers his new cat tree you won’t be able to keep him off it. They are weird looking devices with all sorts of play places for him to climb, lie in or sleep in, and for cat play .

And a good cat tree will also serve another purpose. Cats love to scratch and it’s in their nature to do so, so it’s unlikely you will ever stop them doing it. And as a result you may find that you get driven out of your mind from your cat tearing up the legs of your favourite table. A good tree will provide your cat, provided you teach him how to use it, with the perfect place to scratch away and do all the damage that he wants.

So if I’ve convinced you about the importance of keeping your cat indoors, by all means do so but buy him a cat tree to make sure he is able to play and to climb as he always did, and watch how he enjoys his new cat furniture.
