"Vertical Space" for a Cat: Does Your Pet Need It?

Before giving a clear answer to the question of whether it is worth bothering with creating a vertical space in the apartment for your pet, it is worth deciding what it is.

It’s simple – vertical space should be understood as shelves, loungers and other surfaces located at table level and above.

We are talking about both a specialized cat complex of shelves, bridges and nests, created by the hands of professionals, and the simplest shelves that are easy to attach to the wall yourself.

Why is it believed that a cat must conquer such heights?

The whole point is that by nature the animal feels safer when it is at a height where no one can reach the cat.

In addition to the fact that here the cat is reliably hidden from people and other animals, he also has the opportunity to carefully examine his possessions.

A well-designed vertical space will help a nervous cat feel calm and an insecure one gain self-confidence.

In addition, this way you have the opportunity to wean your pet from climbing onto the dining table, if, of course, he has such a habit.
