(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best cat trees & condos

Let her into your room! She'll be much happier with more space. I highly recommend having a cat tree or two in your place. Give her a box to hide in. Or even try one of these out!

Don't prevent her from hiding, but do challenge her once in a while to be comfortable in different rooms and open spaces.

Try the toy distraction on your 2 year old cat. That's what I meant. If she's showing aggression, it's one of the best ways to distract her from the cat who's more shy.

Make sure the new cat isn't doing anything to provoke your 2 year old cat. If she is, that behavior will need to be adjusted before the 2 year old cat can be comfortable with her.

100% agree on the tuna. If you'd like to learn about cat nutrition, I highly recommend http://www.thecatsite.com for its active forums and articles on feline nutrition (they can also give great input on behaviors)

Here are two nutrition articles to get you started:

http://www.thecatsite.com/a/how-to-choose-the-right-food-for-your-cat

http://www.thecatsite.com/a/grain-free-cat-food-what-does-it-mean

You'll find that grain free high protein wet/raw foods are best for your babies as unlike people and even dogs, cats are obligate carnivores. (Here is some of that science: https://www.waltham.com/document/nutrition/cat/dog/differences-between-cat-and-dog/284/ )
My recommendation is making a small trip to an independent pet food store (not petco, petsmart, or even pet supplies plus) Take a look on yelp for good ones in your area. (Just search for pet food stores) If there are none, try Chewy.com. They sell all sorts of pet foods (you can filter by grain free) The forums on thecatsite are very good in terms of discussion of different commercial and home-made food options. (As you might be able to tell, I've done a lot of my own research!)

But yes. You are correct. Plain tuna does not contain the amount of Taurine (that's just one or the major ones) cats need to thrive. Fish generally is something you should stray from due to high mercury content and addictiveness. (Dry food is also very addictive and contributes most to obesity, digestive issues, UTIs, urinary crystals, and more)

And good! Yes, be creative in your ways to distract her! If she's not enjoying her favorite toy, try a new one. (Cats love Da'Bird and similar long (~3 ft) fishing pole type toys. ) Check out these links.


GoCat Da Bird Rod and Feather Cat Toys, Assorted Colors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001BOVEU4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wzINybW7DMFV9

Cats really jump for these types of long fishing pole toys that use feathers or other fur like parts. I do recommend always having a handy supply of strong duct tape to fix minor issues and strengthen the parts of well-used toys. (I had to tightly reinforce the end of the rod that connects to the string so the end piece holding the string wouldn't come off)

Triple function hide, stealth play, and cardboard scratcher. I have one that my cat loves! You can sometimes find seasonal looking ones on clearance at local pet stores (I have a gingerbread xmas themed one that I got on clearance for half the price on amazon) Cardboard scratchers, to me, are a must. Whether it's something like this or just by itself.

This one is great if you have hard wood or tile floors. Otherwise, pass.


The idea here is to give them more enrichment, hide space, and ways to play.

That said, having more vertical space is also a really good idea.

You know how cat trees (especially the 6 ft ones) are like 200 dollars at pet stores?

You can find more on amazon. Groupon or eBay are also good sources. Your cats will be more comfortable if they can observe their territory from a high place rather than hiding behind a toilet. I really do think it would help give them more confidence. You could even install cat shelves on your walls if you want to. But a cat tree(or two!) goes a long way!

Give them their own favorite places to occupy so that they are better able to share their space.

I totally agree with TheCatGuardian's post. We just adopted our first cat from a shelter and he is 8 months old, and honestly he's still a bit of a handful at times (but that should be expected with any new pet). Try to get one over a year, if not closer to 2 years, as ours is still learning how to play nice and not nipping our ankles to get attention. My husband has always had cats, but this was my first pet and we adopted because I've always wanted one. I did a ton of research and here's what I would suggest as far as supplies:

A high sided litter box with rim - to keep them from kicking litter around and the high walls help keep everything inside. I didn't waste the money on litter liners. They seem gimmicky to me.

Pooper Scooper - It's cheap and gets the job done. Nothing else needs to be said about it.

Stainless Steel Bowl(s) - This one gets good reviews and is the perfect size for their food. You can get two, one for wet and one for dry food. Though I got this one for dry and got a cute oval dish at walmart for ~$2 for his wet. Whatever you want.

Slightly larger bowl for water - Make sure they have plenty for fresh water. I give him new water in the AM and evening after work. I know a lot of people rave about water fountains...but honestly I didn't want to spend the money initially, and my kitty seems to be perfectly fine drinking from the bowl. It'd be worth it to see how your cat feels about the bowl...esp since they will be drinking from bowls at the shelter...they shouldn't be too picky. You can spoil them later on if you decide to, but definitely not necessary.

A safety collar - Make sure it is either a break-away or elastic to ensure the cat doesn't get strangled if it climbs and gets stuck on something and is hanging by its neck. I liked this one because it didn't have an annoying bell, though some like the bell to let you find your cat in the house. The collar also ensure that if the cat gets out anyone who finds him will know he belongs to someone and isn't just a feral cat that they can take for themselves.

Scratching Board - Simple and good reviews. Seems like it will last. You can also get one or two cardboard cheaper ones and see what they prefer to scratch on. My cat doesn't really scratch that much...he uses the scratching posts that are part of his cat tree.

Cat Perch - This is the one we got so he can look out the window. It seems like a good balance of expense and functionality...especially at first. The cat might not even like jumping up on things, so at least this is a safe buy since it's not that tall but still lets them get up off the floor.

Cat bed - This one is highly reviewed and really durable. It's machine washable and will last forever. I really love this bed.

Simple toys at first: Wand Toy, Jingle Balls, Ball Circle Thing, Little Catnip Critter. He also likes paper bags, toilet paper rolls, and his laser pointer. I highly recommend the laser pointer...ours is green.

Greenies Treats

As far as food, you want to ask what they feed at the shelter and get a bag of that at first even if you read online that it isn't "the best." We wanted to get our cat on a mainly wet food diet, so we left his shelter dry food out at night, and gave him half a can of wet food in the morning before work, and half a can at night beofre bed ~9PM, and took the dry food away while the wet food was out. We feed him Friskies Pate...it's actually pretty good for the price. People will get passionate about cat food. Honestly Friskies is fine for us now...they sell it in bulk at Sam's.

Litter - you want to use the kind they use at the shelter so they have comfort in that. You can switch later if you want.

You might also want to get nail clippers and a brush. Our cat is long haired and I like using a comb, but it's really up to you.

As far as gimmicks I would assume that if it seems like a luxury it probably isn't necessary. Cats are very happy with simple things. The vitals are what I listed...a bathroom, food and water (bowls), a few toys, somewhere to scratch, somewhere to get up off the floor, and a safety collar. The bed isn't absolutely vital, but it's nice for them to have somewhere that they feel secure and happy...even if they don't use it at first.

Cardboard boxes with shredded paper, pieces of cardboard, paper towel rolls, and some hay stuffed inside with a tunnel attached is by far my buns' favorite toys. They love going in and ripping everything apart and finding hay/treats to eat. Bunnies love cardboard boxes in general. They'll rip them apart and move them around, chew on 'em, make hidey holes, climb on them. I'll even cut out some holes on the side of the boxes and stuff cardboard tubes frayed at the ends/stuffed with hay for them to have fun with.

Tunnels rank at number 2 favorite toy. Their favorite is the crinkley cat tunnels which have holes throughout them they can dart out. They like the crinkle noise too.

They love manipulating objects, hard plastic slinkies (not metal ones!) are fun for them ... and to watch, haha. Hard plastic baby rattles, baby keys, etc. Just no gel/soft plastic as it would be easy for them to bite and ingest.
http://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Toys_and_Games This has an awesome list of toys and also places to buy bun toys. I've bought cottontail cottages, activity tables, rosewood activity trees, etc--buns love them all! But they are expensive for sure. The activity tables last forever but it would definitely be cheaper to build one !

Oh, also--I would recommend games like the Teach N Treat for mental stimulation as well: http://www.amazon.com/Hagen-Living-World-Teach-Treat/dp/B004HYW9B8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393474030&sr=8-1&keywords=teach+n+treat

There are tons of dog and cat games like that too that buns will love: http://www.amazon.ca/Trixie-4594-Products-Solitaire-White/dp/B0057G1WT0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3EH8O533V5DMS&coliid=I346NPTH7GATHZ

Also they love moving around these treat balls when you stuff em with pellets: http://www.amazon.com/Smarter-Toys-Treat-Inches-Colors/dp/B003ARUKTG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393474058&sr=8-2&keywords=treat+ball

They love games that have anything to do with eating/end result being eating. :P

I also got them one of these: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0038B2EKM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00005C5H4/ref=oh_details_o02_s05_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Stack cups! Put treats between them and watch them knock them over and nom the treats. :)

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00000IZQP/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i05?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They also like knocking these off.

http://www.amazon.ca/Super-Pet-Tropical-Fiddle-Stick/dp/B000HHO26E/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3EH8O533V5DMS&coliid=I1Y9U0EEWOMV8N These things!

http://www.amazon.ca/Ware-711-Roller-Assorted-Colors/dp/B001CQFDJY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3EH8O533V5DMS&coliid=I3D5TZDNHU5HM8 This makes eating hay a bit more fun for them. :)

My boys love rolling around and destroying these: http://www.amazon.ca/Peters-Woven-Grass-Play-Ball/dp/B0009YJ3OG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3EH8O533V5DMS&coliid=I2VYO2771IW0LJ

Bunnies really enjoy long-term projects, which is why they like the dig boxes I described in the first paragraph so much. They dig and rearrange the boxes foreeever until I make a new one for them.

congratz !! :D

Our siberian favorite toy is this one
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B075SZCLZR/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

He absolutely LOVES it, he hides, he plays, he plots against us in there, the wrinkly sound make it super fun for him, and it's extremely robust couldn't find a single tear even with him putting is claw through it.

for a cat tree, it's better that you invest more money in a basic one, than paying for a cheap huge tree, siberian are BIG cats that LOVES to climb and jump and he will throw himself on it and you don't want an accident happening. Molyy and friends does amazing tree, we bought this one
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000OSIJA6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It think he would have love one that his higher than this one but they get pricier, He's spending 80% of his time on it. the top bunk is his bed, he love to run and jump through the loop, playing pick a boo in there, and it comes with the scratching post that is high enough for him to stretch plainly.

this brush is a must have, not a choice YOU NEED IT, Siberian need good brushing often to avoid painful matted fur, get him use to being brush EVERYWHERE very young (especially the butt, and under his "armpits")
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0040QS3PO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Best laser toy ever. you don't have to keep your finger on the button for it to work, it's super bright, and the cat will recognized the toy when he sees it before of it's bright color. we just need to say " Gaspachio wanna play ?" and show him the paws and he starts puring and getting ready to hunt. Make sure to train him to play with laser when he's young by rewarding it at the end of a session with a treat and making him stop on toy (so he has the feeling for catching something) after a few month he will have understand that the red dot CANNOT be catch, it's just fun to run after, and you won't have any mental issue with the cat.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B074Q2YK3L/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This window bed is super strong, at first we though he didn't like it because we didn't saw him on it, then we realized he's always on it during the day when we're not home. And when we start pulling the curtain over it he starts going even more often since it's an "hidden place"
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005AUM8U0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Absolutely NEVER feed you cat with crap cheap brand, if you can afford a 1k cat you can afford good food and treat for it. and brush his teeth regularly.

Also, plenty of soft hugs <3

Maincoons LOVE to play and have that kitten play aspect to them for YEARS!!!Mine loved balls, and a good old laser pointer was the best thing ever. He would get running after that red dot, and couldn't stop well on our hardwood floors and would slide in walls....

Oh and a cat bed on top of the Fridge would be great for your girl. Tiki always slept on top of the fridge :)

Using something like a squirt bottle, all you are doing is training her not to scratch the carpet in your presence. Once you go to bed or leave the apartment, she'll be back at it. That's why I'd put something heavy (furniture, potted plant, heavy floor lamp, another scratching post) on top of the areas you don't want her to dig at any further so that they're inaccessible to her.

Does she actually use the other scratching posts? Cats can sometimes be picky
bout the position and material (mine ignores cardboard scratchers but loves this type) so there maybe something more satisfying to her about the carpet than the other scratching posts.

What kind of stuff is she putting in her food bowl? It's normal cat behavior for them to put toys in their food bowl or even "drown" their toys in their water bowl. It's a harmless quirk of cat nature.

Stay with the heavier food bowl and get a good heavy water bowl (like this) Get a silicone food mat with a high lip on it so even if she does spill food or water it's an easy clean up.

Hopefully that helps with your issues!

My needs list: This schmansy thing for my knee which has been killing me since I started waitressing. I think it would help. I'm not really sure honestly haha.

My nail polish list: It's an unhealthy obsession. BUT LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS!!!!!

Add-ons: Need I explain ?

Food stuff- These are wacko expensive but they look so YUMMY

For Albus- because I love my kitteh and these look so awesome

Movies- Because Wall-E is the cutest thing ever and well everyone needs it in their life.

Music and Books- because I love BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKIIIIIIINNNNGGG

Wants- I've never really had any sort of fancy camera. My last camera I had for 6 years before it broke. So I have this on my wl currently :)

last but not least my silly NSFW list has this awesome thing and I mean WHO DOESN'T WANT THAT IN THEIR LIFE????

This was fun, thanks!

I have two cats. One is a six-year-old male who I got from the Humane Society about four years ago. The other, a twelve-year-old female who I also got from the Humane Society about 5 months ago. My six-year-old male is gentle and seems to be okay with other animals. Introduced them slowly. He was okay with her after just a few days, but she would hiss and swat at him. It's now been five months and she still doesn't like him, but they are now able to co-exist. He generally avoids her and while I wish they were buddies, it just isn't going to happen. If he happens to get too close, she might still swat/hiss, but it's nothing that will really hurt him. They often lay in the bed together, but at opposite sides of the bed. She wears a calming collar (this type) and it does seem to help her mood. She can be affectionate with humans, but she can get quite anxious sometimes. You can also get the calming stuff as a diffuser or spray. Using the calming stuff, she tends to be less territorial and lashes out at him much less. I'd recommend that.

Also make sure to give them their own places where they can hideaway from one another; for example, I have a cat tree in my living room, a cat bed under my bed, a little cat bed in one of the windows, and a little cube thing the cats can crawl into to rest/sleep. I also have two automatic feeders set up beside one another, and they both are always side-by-side when eating...but only b/c they have to be b/c it dispenses the food at the same time.

I wouldn't worry too much though. Worse comes to worse, the most common result is they might not like each other, but they will at least learn to co-exist. My six-year-old male cat still seems generally happy and although she can be mean at times, I think he's just fine. Just give it time, and I think it'll be fine. Good luck!

Here's a photo of them: https://photos.app.goo.gl/u9CYLstMMfD83mDo6 (six-year-old male bottom, female on chair).

Congrats and post a pic when you get him.
Mine just turned 1 and I am still feeding them kitten soft food and grain free dry. They can take up to 2 years to mature.
I bought rabbit fur toys on etsy. One lady makes them out of old fur coats. That is their favorite toy.
This brush works awesome. The highly recommended furminator rips out their hair and they hated it.
I use this trimmer to trim around their bum/back of the legs. They also get mats in their armpits. I use eyebrow trimmers to get tight mats out. You have to be very careful to use them with the "blade" up so you don't cut them. The blade isn't sharp to your skin, but can still cut them if used directly.
Make sure you give baths early so he gets used to them. I didn't do that enough. Nail trimming as well.
I have this leash. The medium still fits them at 1.
I had a water fountain, but they would just stare/hiss at it and play with it. They continued to drink out of their bowls. They don't like the water near their food. I keep water in the bedrooms.
The Litter Locker is our friend.
The breeder recommended Lysine vitamins
I have 3 cat trees and they love them. This tree has decent sized platforms for them to curl up in a ball. I have 1 DSH and 2 Coons. They all sleep on this tree together on their own levels.
They hiss when they get excited while playing. Mine are crazy in the mornings. They are so sweet!! Except when they hunt my feet while I sleep.

This one is similar to the one I've got that supports three 10LB+ cats even after the dog chewed one of the walls of the bottom box apart. The biggest thing to pay attention to when shopping for tall cat trees is how sturdy the base is. Also make sure that the top of the tree is supported by the base, not hanging out in the middle of a box or something ready to tumble down (like this one). My brother had one like that and it lasted like 3 months with his ONE cat before the top started to lean. I like this one a lot too. Cute & sturdy! Depending on how big / clumsy your cat is, you may want to think about getting one that you can screw the top into the wall. Our cats would jump up to the top and rock the entire thing.

A bit flimsy but super easy to assemble/disassemble. Snowball loves it!

My cat loves just sitting and looking out the window. I set up a 1-story cat condo on top of the dryer so she could see out the laundry room window. She loves it. Make sure there are places where she can lay in the sun, as well. Nothing makes a cat happier than a sunny window.

We had a similar move and worried our monster would be sad about the lack of stairs, since that was his favorite place to run when he went psycho. We found a pretty affordable cat tree on Amazon that's very sturdy and had great ratings. He loves it! He seemed to know it was for him immediately and wouldn't stay off of it long enough for me to put it together. The brand is Armarkat and the come in a bunch of different sizes and colors.

This is the one we bought.

I bought it. I’m not a crafts person in the slightest. It was pretty cheap. My friend has one for his monster beast of a cat and it holds up well.

That's really cool to customize your own cat tower.

For those who are thinking of doing this to save money, it really doesn't save much.

For <$10 more, you can buy a premade one very similar to this, which doesn't involve the time spent planning, measuring, and gathering all of the assembly materials and supplies needed.

This one is $44: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EPXXM80/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_4BJzub0ATCRYH

This one Is $36 with free shipping: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=311001618581&alt=web

There are a few more examples on amazon, and even MORE on EBay around this price range.

I know every little bit counts in some cases, and if you're looking to squeeze out every single dollar possible, this can save money, and if you're a handy person, the quality might be better. If you're like me, it'd probably be worse. It's not really enough for me to do this, personally, unless I wanted a craft project.

These are all super similar to cat trees I've made:

Window hammocks are also pretty swell. And you can buy grass patches online!! If you decided to do a cat tree (which will give you lots of options for height and hidey holes) make it yourself!! Store bought ones are generally crap. All you need is PVC pipe, nails, boards, and carpet scraps (which can often be gotten for supa cheap at carpet installation places)

I totally misread this when I first commented, so I deleted that and am trying again lol!

It doesn't beat Adeno's, but this is the closest I've got.

Thanks for the chance!

It's awesome, highly recommend it.

Outside is so interesting with its smells and lack of boundaries. I'm not a fan of letting inside kitties roam outside unsupervised, but some people do have indoor/outdoor cats. Even suburbs have dangers like roads and dogs. Fleas, parasites, and feral cats, oh my.

I suggest leash training if you have the time. Install a simple child lock on the screen door. I had to have one on my screen door for my sneaky kitty before I even had kids. My cat got out to fight with the feral cat that roamed the neighborhood. I don't know your living situation but this cage can be hooked up to a window for kitties to go in and out in fair weather. Kinda pricey.

Other than outdoor stuff, play with your kitty. He wants stimulation. Good luck.

I have a 1 story carpet cat condo and they like to dig up the carpet and chew the cardboard inside. They will also sit on top of it to get my attention or a better view.

I have one of these which I've owned for almost 3 years now(the one I bought is a different company and not Go Pet Club. http://www.amazon.com/Go-Pet-Club-Tree-Beige/dp/B003WGGWQA/ref=zg_bs_2975248011_3

I just bought this massive thing about 2 months ago. Both trees are connected by a board bridge. http://www.amazon.com/Go-Pet-Club-Furniture-106-Inch/dp/B0015EZEW4/ref=sr_1_46?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1415998702&sr=1-46&keywords=cat+tree

My youngest one loves the things and I placed a wooden board across from one to another for a bridge. If pics are wanted I can post some. They both get used and the first one has held up really well.

Not yet but yesterday when I posted that I got him this huge one from amazon that’s about 6 feet and has a lot of levels. I’m hoping it’s enough! here

I second this - ordered one in December when it was on sale for around $100 and my three kitties all love it!

Armarkat Classic Cat Tree B7301 Ivory https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003BYQ1LY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VlKRybB32706R

It's an attachment piece for Kitty City. I bought mine in a Walmart store for under $20. You can buy separate pieces and make a big jungle gym for them! There's different ones you can buy/make. It gets expensive though so I only bought that 1 piece.

Here is another photo of them enjoying it!

I got my cat an outdoor enclosure from Amazon. She wasn't crazy about it at first but now begs for it since it's gotten warm. Now she can sunbathe, watch birds,etc. It was this but its currently unavailable https://www.amazon.com/JAXPETY-Wooden-Animal-Outdoor-Enclosure/dp/B072C3V5H6

I see a lot of these are made of cardboard. If you could find one made of wood or steel, that would be good.

I got her those posts:

The locations are in the same spots she used to scratch. Some of them next to where she usually sits.

I got it on Amazon a little over 2 years ago. I think it was about $30 on prime shipping.

I have to put it back together a lot so we had to kind of reinforce it.

Mine just has a single. https://www.amazon.com/Flexrake-1-Story-Condo-1024-Colors/dp/B000NJKHD8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=8VHW53GMQODV&keywords=single+cat+condo&qid=1567213875&s=gateway&sprefix=Single+cat%2Caps%2C542&sr=8-3

Don't go too high, they can jump and easily hurt themselves.
