Renters Can Appreciate A Small Apartment Cat Pole

By Sarah Hughes


While small spaces can be cozy, they usually get cramped after a while. A one bedroom home is no exception and adding a pet to the mix can be tricky, especially without a backyard. Unlike dogs, cats do not always do well in the outdoors but most breeds still need activity. Small space dwellers should consider placing a small apartment cat pole in a place where their furry friend can see open spaces.

Cats are sometimes a little hard to figure because some like to sit around all day, only moving around to visit their litter box or have a meal. But a little activity is good for most indoor animals, especially cats that live in the city or near hills where wild animals roam. Gadgets like these ensure that furry friends can remain safe but active when indoors.

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.

For them, sitting atop a high pole is better than sitting near a window sill or lower to the ground. The act of going up and down provides a little excitement, as they can see everything at once in a room. This may be advantageous for the person who works out of their home, as the cat is likely to spend less time at the computer or getting into mischief.

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.

Going up and down on a pole or tree daily is a great way to reduce excess waistlines. If a cat appears to want a lot of food often, and they manage to get it at least half the time, activity is encouraged. Just like humans, sitting around too often not only leads to weight gain but getting around may be difficult.

Another problem with overweight felines is that the excess can affect their bladder. Too much pressure can cause involuntary leaks. While weight loss may take a little time with a reduced calorie diet, it is better they have their own space instead of the carpet or furnishings made of fabric.

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.
