Putting up cat trees is a great way of catering to your pet cat’s natural instincts. Since scratching is a normal feline behavior, you should find ways to divert your cat’s fascination of your furniture.

One common type of cat tree has a sisal post with durable thick braided jute which can withstand intense scratching and can last a long, long time. If you have just installed the cat tree, you need to introduce it to your cat by placing him on his hind legs, and gently working his front paws, in a pawing motion, on the post. Your feline pet will catch on quickly and will leave your furniture alone.

A cat tree occupies only a small space, thus it is a space-saving, versatile playground that provides a considerable area of elevated perching space. This is certainly ideal for homes with smaller areas or with no space for setting-up a number of cat trees.

Talk with your Park County vet to make sure that your cat is receiving the right amount of exercise that he needs to stay in tip-top shape. Check out more information on the site of Teller Park Veterinary Service.
