Cats are very active animals that constantly play around with something unless they’re eating or sleeping. So, let’s say they’re active around 10% of the time. Still, you’ll want only the best accessories to entertain and keep your feline comfortable both indoors and outdoors.

Cat enclosures are great if you want to provide your precious pet with a safe environment outdoors where it can play and rest. Instead of worrying all the time about the wellbeing of your cat while it’s outside, you can simply get an enclosure and solve that problem. The design of the enclosures varies meaning you can find anything from wooden, metal, mesh too small, large, luxurious and basic ones that you can include in your garden.

Maybe the most convenient option would be the lightweight and portable cat enclosures made out of aluminium that doesn’t rust and corrode (this is important because the cat enclosure is placed outside) and that is strong enough to endure bad weather conditions. Additionally, many of them have carry handles that aid transportation. When it comes to size you can pick a small or large one, but if you don’t want to choose between the two, you can get a modular cat cage that allows you to expand and make it larger or smaller according to needs. Cat enclosures are easy to assemble so you won’t have a problem with that at all.

If you want to make things even more interesting for your feline, try adding a few accessories into the enclosure that will keep it occupied like a hammock or a floating platform. These can also serve as a resting spot. Cats love elevated places meaning you can’t go wrong with picking either one. Or both.

Hammocks meant for outdoor spaces are made from UV and water-resistant polyester material that doesn’t fade over time. They are quite big – a perfect spot for your cat to comfortably relax. In theory, it can fit up to three cats.

The floating platform is made from the same material as the hammock is. It is adjustable meaning you can pick the height on which you’ll attach it. The floating platform is considered to be a great jumping exercise for your cat that at the same time lowers its anxiety levels and increases its happiness.

To prevent sunburn you should get a shade sail which you place on top of the enclosure. It comes really handy especially during summer because it provides your cat with a shade to cool off. It’s quite large, able to cover big areas and made from durable polyester material that has a reflective surface.

One thing you should never take for granted are scratching posts for cats. That is unless you don’t mind your furniture and literally everything else in your house destroyed by cat claws. It’s in the DNA of cats to scratch things, leave marks and sharpen their nails while they’re at it. At the same time, they leave a special scent and they keep coming back to it, meaning that if they put an eye on a piece of furniture they’ll keep coming back until there’s nothing to come back to.

So, to save you some money and some nerves, get your cat a scratching post. The benefits of a cat scratching post are enormous, and you can find one in a diverse shape and size that can be the next favourite place for your cat to hang around and try to destroy. It’s recommended for the scratching post to have multiple levels and to be placed vertically so that the cat can climb, jump and have fun. The most commonly used materials for the creation of scratching posts are wood, rope and cardboard – ones that cats are most drawn to. Many cat owners tend to get more than one scratching post just because cats love them so much. You can also lure the cat to the scratching posts with the help of catnip.

Cat trees on the other hand, mimic real trees and allow for the cat to have a place where it can climb and observe the surroundings. In nature, cats climb trees to escape a predator, observe prey or just hang at an elevated spot that makes them feel powerful. So, if you want to keep your cat happy and satisfied you should provide the same among the walls of your home.

There are a ton of extraordinary designs of cat beds that at the same time offer ultimate comfort for your feline. I bet that sentence made you jealous. But the truth is, cat beds can be so cute and adorable that one can hardly resist not splurging and buying 10 cat beds at a time (talk about living in luxury). You have the liberty of choosing a doughnut bed or a classic cat plush bed, a cat igloo bed or one that you can hang from the ceiling. Usually, manufacturers pay a lot of attention to the materials used during production and the ergonomic design, so you can rest assured your cat will comfortably sleep in its bed for years to come. It’s best if your cat has its own bed because that way you’ll avoid having to clean up cat hair from everywhere, plus your cat will develop a good habit.

To make things even more interesting you can get a window perch too. Cats adore looking out of the window so combining an incredible window view with a comfortable nook to sit on is a real jackpot. Most of the window perches are easy to install and are capable to support even cats that weigh a bit more. Make sure that the perch has a cover that can be removed and washed in a machine. That way you can easily clean it once it gets dirty and filled with hair. Some perches can be installed both from the inside and the outside which is amazing especially if your cat likes hanging outdoors.
