The range of pet furniture like cat trees and cat condos has increased

It never ceases to amaze us how inventive some people can be. The range of cat furniture just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Some of it is useful and some of it is, ahem, perhaps a little unnecessary.

What’s the difference between a cat tree, a cat gym and a cat tower? Very little as far as we can see. If you look at any of these particular pieces of cat furniture in most online stores it’s particularly difficult to see any differences between them.

Probably just some people like fooling around with names to try and make their products sound a little different.

That’s not to say that a good cat tree (or a cat gym or cat tower for that matter) is unnecessary. In fact we recommend that any feline owner invest immediately in some fine cat furniture. It’s essential furniture to keep your favourite pet happy and well exercised.

We just laugh at the inventiveness of some people trying to sell cat furniture.

Now there is cat steps, or stairs. Now if ever you’ve seen your cat trying to climb something you will know how agile they can be. There’s very little that can prevent a cat getting somewhere he wants to. If you can’t climb up straight away he’ll probably climb the curtains and walk along the curtain rail to get there.

However it is probably true to say that there is a need for pet steps, though restricted to owners of very old cats.
