What to pay attention to in furniture design and function for adult cats

The life stage of adult cats is usually between 1 and 7 years old. Cats in this period show characteristics of being active and curious, and their desire to explore the surrounding environment is particularly obvious. In order to meet the diverse life needs of adult cats, the design and function of pet furniture must be carefully considered. Ningbo Sentian Pet Supplies Co., Ltd., as a leader in the pet furniture industry, is committed to providing consumers with high-quality cat furniture solutions.

Multifunctional design
The furniture design of adult cats should be multifunctional to meet their diverse needs. First of all, in terms of scratching and playing, adult cats need to scratch to sharpen their claws and release pressure, so scratching posts or scratching boards should be integrated into the furniture. Scratching posts should be made of wear-resistant natural materials such as jute or hemp rope to ensure their durability. At the same time, the design of furniture can be integrated into the toy structure to attract the cat's attention, thereby enhancing its fun of playing.
In terms of rest and privacy, adult cats need a comfortable resting space. Furniture design should include enclosed cat beds or cat trees with privacy to provide a sense of security and comfort. Using soft cushions and designing the height appropriately can make cats feel relaxed and comfortable when resting.
For observation and climbing needs, adult cats prefer high places to observe the surrounding environment, so furniture design should include multi-level cat trees or cat racks to meet their climbing needs. When designing, different heights should be considered to ensure that cats can easily go up and down to meet their exploration instincts.

Safety and stability
Adult cats have strong mobility, so the safety and stability of furniture are particularly important. A stable structure is the basis of design. Furniture should ensure its stability, and the base should be wide and heavy to prevent cats from tipping over when jumping. The stability of the structure not only protects the safety of cats, but also extends the service life of furniture.
The edges and corners of furniture should be rounded to avoid sharp angles to prevent cats from getting injured while playing. In addition, small accessories that are easy to fall should be avoided to ensure the safety of the overall design. Anti-slip design should also not be ignored. Adding anti-slip material to the bottom of the furniture can effectively prevent the furniture from sliding when the cat is active, further improving the safety during use.

Comfort and support
Adult cats need a comfortable environment when resting, so furniture design must take this into consideration. High-quality soft cushions should be used in cat beds and rest areas to provide good support for cats. The material of the cushion should be breathable and easy to wash to keep it dry and hygienic.
The height design of the furniture should be in line with the habits of adult cats, avoiding being too high or too low to ensure that the cat can enter and exit freely. For older or heavier cats, the design should be more humane to reduce the pressure caused by their jumping. In addition, adult cats prefer a warm environment when resting. In furniture design, closed cat beds or cat trees with roofs can be considered to provide a safe and warm resting space.
