It took less than a month for me to find out the difference between a cheap tower and a well built one. One day while jumping on his tower, my cat landed on the top floor and it gave way, sending him crashing down to the floor. While he was ok, the loose floor needed to be glued back together. That lasted about another week until it fell apart again.

This is when I decided to buy another tower, but first I talked to some experienced cat owners before buying my next one.. Here is a list of the tips they gave me to make the right decision:

• Be sure to choose natural wood material over treated wood, which can be toxic. Many of these treated woods contain unnatural adhesives.
• Many poor quality towers can get worn quickly. This not only makes it less enjoyable for your cat to scratch on, but the shabby appearance can really be an eyesore in your home. So be sure to to buy towers made of the highest quality fabrics.
• Check to make sure that the glue used to bond the material is non-toxic.
• You want to look for a tower that is put together using a combination of screws, nails and non-toxic glue. If the material is held together only using glue, this is a red flag that it will wear quickly.

By using the tips provided for you above, you should be able to find a high quality cat tower that your kitty will enjoy safely for many years to come!

Cat furniture is the perfect way for your new cat to feel right at home because it will give him or her his or her own place to go whenever it might want to. One of the must have purchases that you need to make is getting a cat house or kitty condo. This will offer your companion a nice place to sleep instead of on your bed at night. One will generally by thicker and circular in shape, featuring enclosed sleeping areas where you cat can go to get comfy. Sometimes, they will be only one level with one opening, but other times there are two, three, even four level options available, ideal for if you have more than one cat. Typically, it will be made out of some type of durable material, like wood or plastic, that will then be covered in a sturdy fabric, like carpeting, so your cat won’t ruin it.

In addition to a cat house or kitty condo, another must have cat furniture selection is a place where your cat can go and let off some of its steam. One great option where he can do just that is a cat tree.

It has the general shape of a real tree with a center pole with additional poles sticking out of it. Like the cat house, it is made from a wood/plastic and carpeting combo, providing your cat with an awesome place to run, jump, and play. If you are short on space, then a scratching post would be a good investment since it still offers your cat a place to get rid of its pent up energy by scratching.

These are just a few of the cat furniture selections that are available as well because there are many, many others. Like, deluxe cat gyms, perches, hanging ropes, and stairs. To see all the choices that you could purchase for your cat, along with all those must needed supplies that one will need like a collar, toys, brushes, a litter box and kitty litter, food, and anything else your cat might need is by jumping on the Internet for some online shopping. In no time at all can you get everything that you need for your new pet and it will be shipped right to your home. Now, that is convenient, especially with today’s gas prices.

So, if you are planning on welcoming a new cat into your family, make sure that you purchase some cat furniture for it so it can really feel at home. Otherwise, it might feel lost if it doesn’t have a place all to its own.
