8-foot cat park

Give your cat a feline playground!

We know that cats need to expend their energy to feel happy. How about reserving a space in your home and turning it into a real amusement park?

With the playground, you will create a corner where they feel relaxed and stress-free. Providing distractions in everyday life is an excellent way to show affection to them!

Why do cats need space in heights?

Cats feel extremely safe when in high places or in dens. Even though you have a very close relationship, these types of spaces are known for fulfilling the function of safe harbor of your little friend, and must be present in your home, whether in the form of cat topper , cat shelf , niches for cats etc.

Furthermore, it is important to know that not offering safe places for your kitten can generate behavioral consequences. When the feline does not have places to escape to or a corner in which to hide, it may begin to demonstrate behavioral disorders. When you feel threatened, because you have nowhere to hide to defend yourself, your only option may be to attack, for example. 🙁

The fact of hiding in toy for cats , in Shelves for cats , inside closets or under the bed, provide kittens with reduced stress. For this reason, it is essential that there are special refuge options for your cat within your home. Preferably places that can be exclusively theirs, with only their scent and no competition with their humans.

Gatification: what is it, why and how to do it?

The famous catification, also known as environmental enrichment, is the adaptation we make in our homes to transform it into an environment that can meet the natural needs of our kittens, such as hunting simulations, special places for escape, refuge and rest.

If in the past it was very common to leave kittens free to leave the house and return whenever they wanted, nowadays the scenario is quite different. Today it is known that the indoor breeding (or rearing indoors) guarantees the kitten health and safety . No matter how self-sufficient the cat is, its territorial personality can get it into big fights with other cats. Walking around the street, kittens are also vulnerable to attacks from dogs and other animals, susceptible to being run over and, also, to various and dangerous diseases that can be contracted by interacting with other infected kittens. For these and other reasons, statistics show that Cats raised indoors live longer than those that have access to the street .

Our domestic kittens are not that different from big wild cats. Of course, hundreds or even thousands of kilometers separate them depending on where they are, but their instincts share many similarities. Long periods of sleep, hunting, climbing, moments of lurking... given the right proportions, they are very similar - except that our kittens live within a limited space .

With increasing knowledge about the importance of indoor cat breeding and increase in the population of domestic cats, it has become increasingly evident that need to make them better adapted to their homes . That's where the It is the guardians' responsibility to offer them an environment that can satisfy their most primitive hunting, napping and stalking instincts, even if in a restricted environment . "As?" You ask us... It's much easier than it seems , so stay with us until the end and we'll give you some guidelines.

Cats are territorial animals. For this reason, it is important that you provide a space where he can understand it as exclusively his . In homes that have more than one kitten, it is very common for each one to have at least one corner where they are always and another one they don't frequent. This is due to the value they give to their private spaces, that place where there is your smell and no one else's .

You've certainly seen your kitten paw at a little paper ball on the floor and start playing with it. Cats are active beings that need entertainment. To preserve your health, it is important that you offer physical and mental stimulation to your little friend, with special spaces and incentives for climbing and running activities, for sharpening their nails and for playing.
