How to choose furniture suitable for cats of different ages

Cats are important companions in human life, and their quality of life is closely related to the surrounding environment and the choice of furniture. As cats grow, their mobility, habits and needs will undergo significant changes. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose suitable furniture for cats of different ages. Ningbo Sentian Pet Supplies Co., Ltd., with more than 20 years of industry experience, is committed to providing consumers with high-quality cat furniture to meet the needs of cats of different ages.

Kittens (0-1 years old)
The kitten stage is a period of vitality and exploration. Cats usually show strong curiosity at this stage. When choosing furniture for kittens, the following factors should be considered:

1. Safety: Kittens are prone to accidents during exploration, so furniture design must ensure safety and harmlessness. Sharp corners should be avoided, and all materials should be made of non-toxic and environmentally friendly natural materials to reduce potential risks.

2. Height and stability: Although kittens are active, their jumping ability and coordination are not yet fully developed. Choosing lower cat trees and cat stands can ensure that kittens can get up and down safely. At the same time, the base design of the furniture should be wide and stable to increase stability and prevent damage caused by tipping.
3. Versatility: Kittens have a strong need to play, so you can choose a multifunctional cat tree, combine scratching, resting and playing areas, provide multiple levels and toys, and stimulate their desire to explore and play.
4. Easy to clean: Kittens are prone to dirtying furniture when playing, so it is recommended to choose materials that are easy to disassemble and clean, convenient for daily maintenance, and keep the environment clean and hygienic.

Adult cats (1-7 years old)
Adult cats are in the golden period of their lives, with strong mobility and gradually stable personalities. When choosing furniture for adult cats, the following factors cannot be ignored:
1. Durability: Adult cats have a strong weight and strong mobility, so it is crucial to choose durable cat furniture. High-quality solid wood and sturdy structure should be used to ensure that it can withstand the weight and active behavior of adult cats.
2. Height and space: Adult cats like to climb and observe the surrounding environment, so choose taller cat trees and cat stands that can provide sufficient space and height to meet their activity needs and promote a healthy lifestyle.
3. Scratching function: Adult cats need to scratch to sharpen their claws and relieve stress, so furniture equipped with scratching posts and wear-resistant materials such as jute should be selected to protect other furniture in the home from being scratched and meet the natural behavioral needs of cats.
4. Comfort: Adult cats need a comfortable environment when resting. Choose furniture with soft cushions and comfortable nests to ensure that they are well supported and comfortable when resting, improving their quality of life.

Senior cats (7 years and above)
As cats enter their senior years, their mobility and health may decline, so when choosing furniture, special attention should be paid to their special needs. First, easy-to-enter design is particularly important. The joints of senior cats may become stiff, so lower cat trees and cat stands should be selected so that they can easily enter and exit and reduce the pressure caused by jumping.
Comfort and support are another important factor in the selection of furniture for senior cats. As they age, senior cats have an increased need for comfort, so choosing furniture with soft cushions will help them get good support when resting and reduce pressure on their joints. At the same time, the stability of the furniture should not be ignored. Older cats may fall easily due to a weakened sense of balance, so you should choose a stable furniture design to ensure that it will not fall during use and ensure the safety of the cat.
Finally, a warm environment is essential for older cats. They usually prefer a warm space, and choosing a cat bed or cat tree with an enclosed design can provide them with a safe and comfortable resting place, help them maintain body temperature, and enhance their sense of security.
