Tall Cat Tree Can Lessen Cat Aggression

Condo, tunnel, beds and perch - all in single cat tree

Condo, tunnel, beds and perch - all in single cat tree

If you live in a multi-cat household you know that even the best feline buddies can get upset with one another occasionally.  The experts say one of the best ways to cool an ‘aggressive’ situation is to provide a tall cat tree.   Cats are three dimensional and we all know that instinctively they like to be ‘high’.  By providing tall climbable cat furniture you give your cats a place to go where they feel ‘in charge’ and secure.  And a little time in the tall cat perch does wonders to heal the bad feelings and calm the temperament so everyone will get along.

Some of the tallest cat trees available are 86 inches tall (that’s 7 feet 2 inches – you don’t want anything taller if you have 8 foot ceilings).  These tall cat trees come in many different configurations using cat beds, cat perches, cat cradles, and even cat condos and cat tunnels.  Too many choices sometimes delays the decision process.  But one thing that will help is to think about the configuration from you cats’ perspective.  Does your cat like to lie in a place that provides support to its side and back?  If so, make sure your tree choice includes one or two cat beds.  Does your cat like to lay with its front paws hanging over the edge of the table our couch?  In this case your tree choice should include one or two cat cradles.  Or does your cat like to be more mysterious and steal away to dark quiet corners?  Then you want a cat tree that will incorporate a cat condo or a tunnel for your cat to play in.

By trying to make the choice of what cat tree to buy from your cats’ perspective you improve the odds your cat will love it and spend most of its time on the cat tree whether awake or asleep.

Be sure to take a look at all these tall cat trees to find the best options for you and your cat before making your final decision.

Cat Tree Furniture Option

Our last post featured a cat tree that had two cat cradles and a cat bed.  The piece of cat furniture we feature today changes the configuration a little and gives you one cat bed, one cat cradle and a cat condo.

54" cat tree - choice of 8 colors

54" cat tree - choice of 8 colors

Just like the cat tree in our last post, this cat tree is also 54″ tall and provides four climbing levels for the active cat (yes, we count the base as a level).  Some cats prefer laying in a cat bed that provides a little more security and support with the rim that goes all around the bed.  This unit also has the closed cat condo that your cat will love to explore and hide in.  It’s a good place to hide treats when you are engaged in some serious cat play.  Just like all the furniture in this line you have your choice of eight different colors – so you certainly can find something that matches the decor.

Don’t forget the post holding the cat condo is sisal wrapped providing a good cat scratching post.  Take advantage of our free delivery anywhere in the continental U.S. by ordering your tree today!
