9. Climbing Poles and Rope Towers
DIY climbing poles encourage your cat to stretch, climb, and exercise.
Start with a strong wooden or PVC pipe anchored between the floor and ceiling. Wrap it tightly with thick sisal rope for traction. Add platforms or steps along the way so your cat can rest while climbing.
Position the pole near other cat features like shelves or trees to create an interconnected play zone. Climbing poles are particularly useful for high-energy cats that need more activity during the day.
