Facebook has all these pictures and videos of people who have these amazing walls covered in shelves and platforms and hammocks and swings and all kinds of cool stuff specifically for their cats. And the cats apparently love it, spending all day racing around the room jumping from one platform to another, or lazily lounging in a hammock above their human’s head.
I, of course, wanted that for my kittens: because you can never spoil your kittens enough. My partner said if I got the shelves, he would install them for me – so I went online and found a few that I liked. $169.00 later, a couple rather large boxes arrived at our front door from Amazon.
Sadly, my kittens were not impressed. When I put Naldo up on the top platform, she just jumped down to the ground and walked away. When I put Viktor up there, he got frightened and had to be shown how to work his way down step by step. Neither of them has been up on their own since, although I do keep putting them up there in hopes that they’ll start to use it on their own.
All in all, it’s a bit under-whelming, to say the least. I’m hoping it will get a bit more enticing (to Naldo, at least) once he installs the two hammocks I got. But honestly, I’m not holding my breath.
