Having appeared in the house, the cat takes a special place in the heart of the owner, conquering with a unique combination of beauty, tenderness and habits, forgetting about which, the newly-made owner risks the interior. Although cats have long been domesticated by humans and are among the most popular pets, many of their needs coincide with those of their wild ancestors, including the need to sharpen claws, climb, and hunt. Therefore, in addition to choosing food, bowls, a litter box and litter, cat owners face another difficult task - organizing the pet's leisure and activity. After all, this is the only way to make the cat really happy, and at the same time to protect the furniture from the irrepressible energy of the fidget.

The game complex will cope with this mission best of all. Unlike a simple scratching post, this construction for cats has a slightly larger area, and therefore is more stable, thanks to which even those cats who do not recognize ordinary scratching posts are often supportive of it. In addition, even basic playgrounds, as a rule, attract the attention of pets much better, since they include not only a scratching post, but also a lounger or a house, and often a toy. The best representatives of the middle and premium classes are often equipped with a large number of levels, several loungers or hammocks and other components for climbing and playing that are attractive for cats, which can keep the pet busy for a long time, as well as help to get everything that domestic cats are most often deprived of.
