Map the places your cat uses

Sketch the room and mark resting places, routes and spots your cat returns to. Observe over several days without forcing a change in behavior.

Note where people walk, doors open and furniture needs to remain accessible. Keep escape routes clear and avoid arrangements that trap an animal in a corner.

Use those observations when comparing furniture. Follow the product instructions for assembly, anchoring and load limits, and check stability before allowing access.
