It is common that cats stay indifferent or dare not approach newly delivered cat trees. Strange shape and position will make pets feel uneasy. Adopting proper guiding skills can help cats adapt and love the new activity facility rapidly.
Slow Adaptation Without Forcing
Do not drag or push cats onto the cat tree compulsively. Leave the furniture stationary in fixed position, let cats observe and get familiar with the new object voluntarily in daily activities. Too forced behavior will cause exclusive psychology.
Attract With Favorite Things
Put catnip, usual snacks and favorite small toys on platforms and nests. Tempt cats to approach, climb and rest actively out of curiosity and appetite. Gradually eliminate strangeness to the new cat tree.
Accompany Interaction Guidance
Owners play and tease beside the cat tree, induce cats to jump and climb step by step. Praise and comfort gently when cats successfully use the facility. Build pleasant memory related to the new cat tree.
Reasonable Position Adjustment
If cats always ignore the cat tree, try moving it to their usual active corner. Familiar surrounding environment reduces strangeness sense. Fix the position after cats get used to staying.
Adopt effective new cat tree adaptation ways for fast acceptance.
With patient and scientific guidance, most cats will gradually take the new cat tree as exclusive rest and play territory. Form stable daily use habits and give full play to the value of pet furniture.
