Cats need a stimulating environment that takes care of their desire to scratch, sleep, climb, and play. Providing your cat with his own furniture means he will spend less time using yours, which in turn means you will spend less time cleaning up cat hair.

With the help of our team of cat behaviorists, we consider ourselves experts on cats and what cats like as well as what materials work best. We have tested these cat furniture selections on our own cats to help you find the right trend for your cat. 

What to Consider When Buying Cat Furniture

😎Style

There are so many styles of cat furniture available, that trying to pick the best one may be difficult. Consider your own furniture style and what will look best.

👐Size

Think about where this piece of furniture will go. How it will fit in length and height. Also is it big enough for your kitty to use?

 🧶Materials

Consider what the furniture is made of and the quality of materials and fabric. Will it be comfortable for your cat and not easily destroyed?

💵Price

Cat furniture can get expensive but sometimes a cheap cat bed can be just as comfortable as a pricey one. Be prepared to pay more for furniture with special features like high-end fabric, heaters, or quality wood materials.

Questions and Answers

How do I teach my cat to use a scratching post? 

Start by placing scratching posts near the furniture or items your cat likes to scratch. Also, encourage your cat to use it by sprinkling catnip on or around the scratching post.

How do I choose cat furniture my cat will like? 

Watch your cat's behavior and habits to determine what materials and surfaces he is drawn to most. Consider if your cat likes to curl up inside things or nap in high places. 

Should my cat have his own furniture?

Giving your cat his own furniture will keep him distracted and deter him from using your furniture. Because cats are very territorial this means he will want to spend more time on his furniture and less time on yours.

Summary

An understanding of your cat's needs and preferences will help you make the best choice in cat furnishings. Always consider the location your kitty chooses for naps as well as his preferences in height before deciding. Choosing a style that compliments your decor and makes your cat happy means your furniture will stay clean and claw-free. And remember you are not limited to one type of furniture piece because cats do tend to change moods often.
