Buying a Cat Condo. . .8 steps to Cat Condo ownership
Cats are genetically programmed to climb. By providing a safe
structure for your cat to climb, you allow her to follow her instincts while
you protect the furniture in your house.
A
cat condo can offer your cat a special place to take a nap or spend
some time alone.
- Check out all
the types that exist. Cat
Condos come in many shapes and sizes. For your
convenience - we have listed a few of the more popular ones to the
right.
- Remember that
most condos are covered with carpeting so your cat can climb and
scratch on the condo. Look for carpeting that's easy to clean and
not apt to fade quickly.
- Understand that
a condo with a built-in scratching post can help save your furniture
from your cat's claws.
- Select a stable
condo that's well-balanced and won't tip when your cat scratches it
or jumps on it. The models we carry work well and won't tip.
- Make sure that
the levels of the structure will be easy for your cat to climb.
- Find a condo
that matches the color and style of your home so it will blend into
its surroundings.
- Realize that the
price for a condo varies depending on the features you select and
where you shop, but it can often be $100, or even much more.
- Make sure that
whatever condo you select will be big enough for your cat to be
comfortable inside.
