Katz Tales: Making an indoor cat happy with cat trees

Cats walk on the ground but, in the wild, they tend to spend a lot of times climbing trees and rocks.

Our living room has been transformed. We have two new floor-to-ceiling cat scratch poles and the window is covered in black screening. The changes are in honour of our newest family member, Tic Tac.

It's not unusual for us to make changes in order to accommodate our furry lodgers. The massive pillow in our bed was mandated by Target who likes to stretch out, and the small purple rug in Tom's office and the cardboard box under the bench are there because Swooner has a fondness for them.
