Cats love to climb. One of our cats would scale a barn board door in our old house, which led from the kitchen to the bathroom. It was very entertaining when people were visiting. Our cat would scurry to the top and perch himself on the ledge of the door.
Because the door was unstained, and virtually indestructible, we didn’t mind the fact that his claws dug into the wood, repeatedly. However, this wouldn’t work in every house.
Indoor Cat Climbers
Under those circumstances, we didn’t need to buy a special cat climber. Our indoor cat could exercise his natural instincts without ruining anything.
However, if you’re worried if your cat’s claws are going to destroy your favorite piece of furniture, you may want to consider getting kitty his own condo.
One thing we wouldn’t have wanted to do was let our cat outside, where he could climb trees. He was an indoor kitty, and a treasured family pet. Research has shown that the average lifespan of indoor cats far exceeds that of outdoor cats, which tend to survive only 1 to 5 years.
