But unlike other members of the family, your feline friend doesn&#8217;t have a space of their own in the same way you do. Give your cat a house inside your house with a cozy cat tree that&#8217;s made just for them and their needs. Whether you have an anxious cat or a bored one, cat trees are a positive way to release that energy without sacrificing your <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/accent-furniture-786.html\">furniture<\/a> in the process. There are a variety of choices between short and tall, simple or complex, with hiding holes or built-in toys for all your cat&#8217;s particular needs, making a cat tree a perfect gift for your furry friend.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16776\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16776\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16776\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-3.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-3.jpg 480w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-3-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fur Cat Tree, 78899578020 by Majestic Pet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Just like humans, <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/pet-products-905.html\">pets<\/a> can get claustrophobia. Unlike us though, they aren&#8217;t as able to communicate their discomfort, instead lashing out by biting and scratching. In situations where your feline friend lives in an apartment or small house, this can&#8217;t be helped, but you can alleviate their anxiety through building play vertically through the use of tall cat trees. Cat trees increase the amount of vertical play space available for your cat in a way that is both easy to access and opens up the living space from the ground floor.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16791\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16791\" style=\"width: 432px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16791\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/2018\/12\/cat-tree-2.jpg\" width=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tree-2.jpg 432w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tree-2-360x400.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16791\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">44&#8243; Bungalow &#8211; Sherpa Cat Tree, 78899578043 by Majestic Pet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A cat tree can also function as a lookout post, giving your cat open space to survey the area. This\u00a0makes the cat feel in control and secure that it can&#8217;t be snuck up on by other predators, reducing stress. That elevation keeps your cat from feeling cornered by ground-level threats, like dogs and toddlers, and they can choose to engage on their own terms or not at all. Many trees also have at least one hiding hole for your pet you use as a quiet zone to not be found in case guests come over or it&#8217;s time to vacuum.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16774\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16774\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16774\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-2.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-2.jpg 480w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-2-400x385.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sherpa Cat Tree, 78899578003 by Majestic Pet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having a proper cat tree encourages appropriate climbing and clawing behaviors. The soft fabric and knotted rope surfaces are a textural delight to your cat&#8217;s paws and help pull off old claw sheaths. Scratching and climbing are normal, natural behaviors that shouldn&#8217;t be discouraged in house cats, as devastating as it may be the first time your cat puts a hole in the side of the <a href=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/sofas-849.html\">couch<\/a>.

Being ambush predators, the ability to hide and pounce is crucial to their happiness. Making your cat jump and climb with a cat tree encourages daily physical activity that they would get in the wild, and you can further encourage this by placing toys high up or lining the tree with catnip.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16773\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16773\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16773\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/homethang.com\/blogimages\/2018\/12\/cat-tower.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tower.jpg 480w, https:\/\/homethangs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cat-tower-400x235.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16773\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You want durability in all your furniture, and pet furnishings is no exception because cats play rough (by 13 Design Lane Interiors)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cat trees are built for multiple cat use, so they hold up over time as a durable piece of furniture.
