Got a cat that loves to explore? Installing a cat climbing frame is a good choice when you have an extremely active cat. With a cat climbing frame, you can maintain your cat's daily movements. It also makes it easier for cats to walk around the house and check their territory.
However, a standalone cat climbing frame will take up more space for small homes. Thus, it is recommended to mount it on the wall or combine it with bookshelves in order to save more space.

In fact, cats are full of curiosity about the outside world. They like to overlook the distant scenery, something that is deadly attractive to them, from a high place. Hence, you can install the cat climbing frame on the side of the window or near the balcony. Of course, window protection measures should be done very well in this case.

Simply place a few wooden boards like a staircase on the wall will do. The board should be rough, non-slip and elastic. This will give your kitty-cat more space to exercise freely.
