A good perch is one of your cat’s basic necessities. In the wild, cats perch up high to stay safe from predators, hunt prey, and generally keep a close eye on everything that’s happening around them. Perching helps them feel safe and confident while also providing exercise and opportunities to stretch. Cat trees are great, but they aren’t right for every home. If you live in a small space you may find yourself struggling to provide the kind of vertical space your cat craves and needs to be healthy and happy. Here are 5 space-saving cat-approved perches that’ll fit purrfectly into your home.
