Some Tips for Purchasing Cat Scratching Trees
With so many options, it’s necessary to narrow it down with the following considerations.
Measure twice, buy once: Check the size of the cat tree before you do anything else. Compare the online dimensions to the actual measurements of the area you are trying to fill. The last thing you want to do is buy a cat tree that is too big and blocks your common area, becoming a hassle instead of the space saver you imagined.
The number of cats: More cats need more scratching area and to keep them from fighting over a single post, you may need to invest in more than one or a larger scratch area. Tall cat scratch towers with multi-levels and platforms can be an excellent choice for multi-cat homes so that they can each have their own territory.
Vertical or horizontal: Another space-saving consideration is whether to get a scratching area that goes upward or lies flat. Some cats prefer scratchers that lay on the floor for easy use, but if you live in a small space, it may be better to purchase taller scratching areas that can be put against walls and kept out of the way.
Other Items We Carry Related To Cat Scratching Posts in Auckland
Don’t stop at scratching posts! Get them all the toys and accessories they need.
Cat beds: After the cats are done scratching the day away, they’ll need a place to sleep. Not all cats do well sleeping on the bed due to fur concerns or just comfort. Consider giving them their own sleeping area by investing in a fun cat bed such as this fun shark-shaped felt cave.
Health products: Some cats need more care than others, just like people. Vets run our company which means we’ve selected multiple health products to stock for a variety of cat needs. We have sprays and lotions to help treat the all too common issue of skin irritation and dandruff. Dietary supplements for joint health and strong immune systems are available for a variety of animal types.
Water fountains: In the wild, cats are rightfully suspicious of standing water as it can carry bacteria that will make them ill. If you find your feline isn’t drinking from the water bowl you’ve put out for them, it may be wise to invest in a fountain as they will be more likely to drink from moving water.
