Tips For Buying A Cat Condo



A cat condo is a wonderful gift for the cat who has it all, or a great solution to increase space in a small place. If you have a small apartment, then a cat condo can maximize the space by making the vertical space of the room accessible to your cat.

When trying to find a cat condo, you need to make sure that the one you buy will accommodate in your home without looking overbearing. Calculate the space that you have for the condo and imagine what different sizes would look like in your space. Figure out how big is too big before you even begin shopping.

Now, you should consider the number of cats you have. If you have more than one cat, you will likely want your cat condo to have several sitting/playing areas. This is so every cat will have its own space when they want to be alone.

While shopping for the condo, look for ones that are made well. There are many cheap and weak ones out there. Even though cats do not weigh so much, three ten pound cats on a flimsy cat condo can cause disaster. Also check how nicely it stays grounded. My cats may knock over anything. Truly, they once knocked over a solid wood dresser that was full of clothes. If they could knock that over, they could definitely knock over some of the cheap, poor quality cat condos out there.

Also make sure the material it is crafted from is quite strong, your cats will likely want to use the condo to sharpen their nails, so make sure it is made from sisal or something similar which can take the beating the cats will give it. Also check it is easy to clean. You do not want to be scrubbing hairballs from something which is annoying in the you know what to clean!
