The best way to ensure your cat's safety and the safety of others in your home is to choose a cat tree that is stable, secure, and well-balanced. The best cat trees are built with sturdy, thick lumber frames and strong hardware. Never buy a cat tree made from old, rotting or wet lumber. Always make sure the parts are secured by heavy bolts or other strong hardware so the parts do not come loose with repeated use.

A well balanced, sturdy cat tree will prevent your cats from tipping it over and hurting themselves or others, or breaking surrounding furniture.

In general, you want to look for a well made cat tree that will stand the test of time. Beware of cat trees that lean to one side or that feel wobbly when you rock them back and forth with your own hand.

Another safety precaution is to ask the seller if the cat tree is safe for declawed cats and older, less agile cats. The height and angle of your cat tree and the material used to cover it will be a factor here. You do not want something that will difficult for your cat to climb.

Ask about the weight restrictions on your cat tree before you buy. Usually a tree made for cats will hold up to 20 pounds. If you have several cats in your house that will be using the cat tree, you may want to opt for a stronger one. Cats who are familiar with one another will often sleep and play together; hence, they could be on the cat tree simultaneously and exceed the weight load.

A different option is to build your own cat tree. This way you will know that it was built to your standards and you can be as creative as you like with the style and color. If you choose the do-it-yourself route, make sure you follow the basic safety precautions outlined above, using sturdy good-quality lumber and secure hardware. Create a cat tree that is well-balanced and not wobbly. Be sure to build a structure that will be easy for your cat(s) to maneuver up and down.

Giving your feline friends a cat tree is a fun way to tell your pets how much you love them. Have fun choosing a style and design that fits your cat's needs and holds their attention while giving them a safe and happy place to climb.

The difference between a Persian Breeder and a Persian Cattery is that a Persian Cattery breeds and raises their Persian cats for their own benefit as much as for the customer seeking a Persian kitten. There are many reputable catteries and they also have many different goals. Some Persian Catteries breed their cats for the main purpose of having the perfect show cats. Many Persian catteries do not breed their cats for the purpose of providing pets for families but rather for the purpose of having the best and most beautiful show cats.

Having the perfect cat is one thing but maintaining that cat's health and beauty is quite another. Persian cats have thick fur and their coats need to be groomed daily -- combed or brushed. You can find many Cat grooming products at your local pet shop. It is best to use a wide-metal tooth comb instead of a brush. If you use a brush, then only do so to 'fluff' the coat and make sure to first remove any mats in the coat. If you groom your cat daily then matting should not be a problem.

You can either bathe your cat yourself or you can go to a professional groomer. You know that your cat needs a bath when they begin to look greasy as the dirt accumulates and matting will increase if you do not bath your cat. If you decide to bathe your Persian cat yourself then you need to first remove all mats with a wide-toothed comb. Do not pull on the hair as you can remove the hair to the root and bald patches will form.

The perfect cat needs the perfect home and you will reap the benefits of having the perfect Persian cats if you show him/her the love and care that all cats deserve. Care for your cat to the best of your abilities and they will love and care for you in return.
