Kitty Condo

A kitty condo or cat house provides an ideal retreat for your cat or kitten. Typically made of wood and covered with sisal or carpet, a kitty condo will ensure your feline friend feels secure in her very own “home.” The condo’s range from the rather basic to the extremely sophisticated and typically serve multiple uses with most doubling up as cat scratching furniture.

What should you look for when buying a Kitty Condo?

Your cat's personal space is just as important to her as yours is to you so it's important to make your selection wisely. You must look for quality in the finishing of the item. Are there are sharp nails or staples visible which could hurt your pet? Is the construction sturdy and comfortable? Will it be suitable for your cat as she grows?

 

You also need to consider what purpose you want your kitty condo to serve. Many double up as play equipment which is ideal, particularly for kittens and younger cats. However, if you have a senior cat then play equipment will not be such an important factor. Nonetheless, unless you have a separate cat scratching tree or cat scratching post, and value your furniture, it would be a wise move to incorporate an element of cat scratching furniture. 

 

Where should you position your Kitty Condo?

Each cat will have its own favourite spot. Just take a look around your home and see where your cat likes to lie down. Your cat house should be in a quiet part of the house where it is not too hot or too cold. Also make sure that the kitty condo is not placed in a draft or where there is any risk of danger.

 

Ideally, you should be investing in more than one piece of cat furniture. Those cat owners who are limited on space may also wish to invest in a cat window perch.  Cats just love sitting in windows watching the world go by and the cat window perch allows them to so in comfort.
