Adventurous Kitten Shows Off Climbing Skills With A Dish Towel

Cats love to climb, we all know this, but it is still amazing to watch a cat in action as they claw their way up various objects. Of course, you and I both do not want our cats destroying things in their quest for height, and they certainly do seem to enjoy causing ruination and destruction. However, and we admittedly did not know this, it is good for you to encourage your cat to climb.

Before we get into why there are a number of ways to provide avenues for a cat to climb. These include the infamous cat tree or tower with multiple perches for them to rest on. You can also build cat paths, especially for elderly cats. There are cat ramps and even wall perches that can give cats an elevated path. We have seen some amazing cat mazes that almost look like levels out of a video game! It’s all about providing your cat with an alternative to your drapes or furniture.

Alright enough about that, why is it good for you to let your cats climb around your apartment, house or even just a room. This especially pertains to people who have multiple cats in their home. Cats need territory and creating more vertical space for them opens up the places they can claim as territory. It helps provide safety and security for timid cats and reduces cat-to-cat conflict. For kittens, climbing helps them develop their muscles, flexibility and their skills. Cats need exercise too! For a lot of cats, height also equals security, even if it’s a one cat household. So, help you cat feel safe while also promoting exercise!
