Always keep the following in mind when attemping to choose furniture for your cat.

As much as we hate to admit it, cats are not always the most cooperative pets in the world. You might go ahead and spend a fortune on top-of-the-line cat furniture only to discover that your cat prefers your furniture. So before you make a purchase keep in mind the following typical feline tendencies:

-    Cats often get easily bored so a piece of cat furniture with a variety of activity options is always a little more likely to keep your cat's attention.
-    Cats love to climb, scratch and hideout in dark places. Cat furniture with cubby holes, higher platforms, stairs and towers are generally very appealing.
-    Always keep your particular cat's age and activity level in your mind. If you have an older or less active cat, it might be better to buy cat furniture that is easier to climb and move around.

At this point you might be wondering just how many varieties of cat furniture there may be available. The short answer is a lot. Fortunately, choosing the best piece of cat furniture to suit your unique cat and particular finances are easy. But first you have to know what is available. Here are a handful of samples:

-    Cat Trees. They are best for active cats as they allow cats to climb and balance in higher places. Generally speaking they are a little less costly than cat towers or kitty condos and they require less space to setup.
-    Cat condos. If your cat is a touch less active and enjoys privacy a kitty condo might be a better option. With so many different cat condos available on the Internet it should be easy to find one which suits your cat and budget.
-    Cat Enclosures. Cats like to be outside but it isn't always safe or a good idea to let them roam free round the neighbourhood. With a cat enclosure, your cat can get some fresh air but still be safe.
-    Cat towers. Much like cat trees, cat towers are generally a little more elaborate and may contain more distractions like cubby-holes, platforms, etc. for your cat.
-    Cat Beds. Very little need for a description here except to express that there are a wide variety of cat beds on the market. The average cat sleeps about 16 hours per day so finding the right cat bed is important - assuming your cat will sleep in the cat bed you choose.
-    Cat Perches. These can range from free-standing, one level platforms to window ledge perches to elaborate multi-platform perches.

Around you love your cat, it is usually important to keep in mind that your home or your apartment is simply that - yours! Cat furniture can be big and distracting to visitors in the event that is a concern of yours. However, a few of the higher quality cat furniture looks excellent and you will fully expect your visitors to compliment your cat on its fine taste in furniture when you choose the one which feels right to you.
