Renters Can Appreciate A Small Apartment Cat Pole

By Sarah Hughes


Even though some people enjoy living in a small place, the problem is that there is little room for much else. If a person has interests or things related to things they enjoy, like a shoe collection, space can get tight. Pets can be the perfect roommates but when there is no backyard, keeping them occupied, can be tricky. Many pet owners find that using things, like a small apartment cat pole or indoor trees can serve a purpose for those whose friends are on the active side.

Cat owners usually want their pet to enjoy life as much as possible but it can hard to set boundaries with an animal that has a history of existing outdoors. Although domesticated cats are not quite as active as their wilder relatives, many breeds appreciate a little action. Cat poles and trees often provide this.

Since cats are hunters by nature, they will often seek objects that are seen as prey. Other times, their frequent body stretch sessions are not enough, as they want to give a piece of furniture a special rub. Unless a person wants to constantly replace things around the home, getting a cat pole or tree is a good idea.

Unlike setting up an area by a window for them to sit, a pole gives several advantages. The first being that they can go up and down as they please. While this exercise seems minor, it is a lot better than having them climb atop those wall mounted speakers or shelving where precious trinkets are kept. Even if a person has a home office, productivity may be difficult when having to chase someone around the house and make them stay still.

While poles are great for scratching and sitting atop, trees and towers are great for observing. Cats of all ages have a curious nature and the best way for them to become familiar with the happenings is to see them. Seeing things from a top view gives cats a serious advantage, as they may feel as if in control of things. In a sense, they are.

Although going up to the ceiling may be a practical choice, not all cats will respond the same. Chubby cats may not have the stamina since there is pressure on their legs. This is why an adjustable pole is best because it can be lengthened as the cat loses those extra inches around their waistline.

Although some cats with a little extra on them may look cute to some, this is really doing more harm than good. For one, their dispositions can change for the worse and often their bones cannot handle the extra weight. This can make it difficult for them to make those meetings with the litter box, resulting in a messy carpet or other pieces of furniture.

In a small space, placement should be in or near the living room but sometimes a bedroom is better. Since most cats like to stare through windows, this may be the most practical placement. However, it may help to experiment with various locations and take note of any changes in behavior.
