Cat Furniture
Your cat considers everything in your house or apartment as his own cat furniture, to do with what he chooses. That usually involves damaging it in some way! Scratching is one problem that has seen the demise of chairs and sofas, carpets and wallpaper. Sleeping sees ground in dirt in favoured sleeping areas such as cushions and carpets...and your bed if you're not careful. There may be scratch marks on tall cabinets, bookcases or fridges where your cat scrabbles for a hold in order to get into a high position. Some or all of these problems can be alleviated with the introduction of some real cat furniture. Read a story about where cats sleep and a cat allergy.
Sleeptime - Cat Beds
Pads
Cup-Style Beds

Heated Beds
Novelty Beds
Igloo
style beds are perfect for cats who love to be warm and covered. These Cat Beds are two layers thick and have a removable pad. The pad has a luxurious heavy weight fleece on one side and the lighter weight fleece fabric on the other. Plastic material is used to support the opening and the bed is totally washable and dryable. (This one's a top seller).
Did You Know ...
A cat's body temperature drops slightly while they sleep. This explains why some cats like to sleep in direct sunlight or right next to their owner.
Scratching Posts
Sisal Cat Scratching Posts
are popular with cats as it gives them something to sink their claws into, and is preferred by most cats over soft carpet wrapped posts
. Also, be sure to get a post that is sturdy and tall enough for your cat's fully stretched body.
Where a cat is used to scratching in one area (one of my cats always scratched a particular corner of carpet), he may show little interest in a newly introduced scratching post. Here are a few things to try if your cat gives the scratching post the cold shoulder:
rub something he’s slept on onto the post so his smell is on it
bring him to the post and lightly drag his front paws down the post. Make sure that if his nails aren’t retracted that you don't damage them by pulling too hard
rub some catnip onto the post
. This will get most cats’ attention.
place the post at the location your cat most likes to scratch so he gets used to the post instead
Watching The World Go By - Cat Perches
For the older cat who might be suffering from arthritis, there's the
Orthopedic Window Perch
which is covered by soft, faux sheepskin that can be machine washed.
See Heights & Cats for more information on why cats love being in high places.

Playtime – Cat Trees & Kitty Condos
Sisal covered trees and condos
can also act as scratching posts and taller trees and condos can also take the role of a perch.
If you want your cat to be the envy of every other cat in the neighborhood, then order a custom-built
Big Oak Kitty Gym
. It's one of the most expensive cat trees available!
