Top 10 Reasons Cats Are Awesome
At PurrfectPost.com, we're obviously all cat people. Apparently, though, not everyone is. We don't understand that one bit.
After all, cats are awesome, and we're here to prove it with these reasons.
Number 10: Cats Are Funny
Cats are hilarious. Really. Just ask the internet. They do the cutest, sweetest things you can imagine, and they can really lower their humans' stress levels. Nothing beats coming home after a challenging day and watching your cat romp around after his toys, acting like a clown.
Number 9: Cats Are Independent
Most cats don't require extreme amounts of energy or time devoted to them each day. You will need to spend 20 minutes or so interactively playing with your kitty, and the litter box will need to be kept clean daily, of course. Still, most cats are quite happy to amuse themselves the rest of the time, acting as your steadfast companion while you get other things done.
Number 8: Cats Help Keep Your House Bug and Rodent Free
Cats are hunters, and they'll help keep the bugs and mice at bay in your home. For people who are squeamish about taking care of such invaders themselves, that can be a real boon.
Number 7: Cats Don't Roll in Yucky Stuff and Get Stinky
Cats like to stay clean, they bathe themselves often, and they don't have that habit that some other pets (who shall remain nameless) have of rolling in rotting stuff.
You can't deny it: a sweet smelling pet is a good thing.
Number 6: Cats Help You Have a Healthy Heart
It's been shown that people with cats are less likely to die of a heart attack (Adnan I Qureshi, 2009). Petting and interacting with a cat lowers people's blood pressure, too.
Number 5: Cats Are Quiet
While some might keep you up at night meowing if their food bowl is empty, cats are usually quite quiet. They're great for apartments and other situations where a noisier pet might cause a problem.
Number 4: Cats Are Easy to Care For
While some cats can be taught to walk on a leash and enjoy outdoor time with their human, they don't need to be taken out multiple times a day to eliminate. They can be exercised inside by playing with interactive toys, and a little brushing and routine claw clipping is all the grooming most of them require.
Number 3: You Don't Have to Take a Cat Outside to Potty in Bad Weather
Speaking of not having to take your cat outside to eliminate, we think that deserves another mention. It's really nice not to have to get bundled up to take your kitty outside several times a day when it's cold, rainy, or otherwise inclement weather.
Number 2: Cats Don't Jump on Your Friends When They Come Over
If a cat likes interacting with people, he might come around when you have company. There might be some leg-rubbing, or he may try to jump on your guest's lap. But cats are much less likely to jump on or beg from people, and most of them will actually wander off to be by themselves when strangers come to visit.
Number 1: Cats Purr
We think the most awesome thing about cats is their purr. It's such an endearing quality, and it can help people feel relaxed and peaceful, too. It might even help us heal when we're sick or injured.

Customer Experiences
Mondo Deluxe
My 6 months review: Excellent product. Brothers Blondie and Tuco Have turned other scratchers to dust in no time. I'm so glad I sprung for this, it's totally worth it. The boys use it heavily because it satisfies. It's tall enough for them to do a full standing stretch reaching up without hitting the top for a good sharpening (sparing my rugs and furniture from abuse!). Unlike furniture, lamps, vases, etc. they have never knocked it over, even whilst racing around the house. It's sturdy, plenty of ballast, easy to put together, and maybe best of all, it's not ugly!!

Big Bed Purrfect View
This is the third product I have purchased from Purrfect Post, and my experience and the cats experience has been exceptionally wonderful. I highly recommend your products.
Harpo the Nomad now has three of the tall Purrfect Post Deluxes that he uses regularly. He's a large active cat and had quickly torn up the previous posts I had bought for him. I'm grateful that I won't have to keep buying lower quality scratching posts for him. It's easy to see that his Purrfect Post Deluxes will last a long time. They are not only well-made but are also attractively made. I bought one to see if it met my needs and then ordered two additional ones. The posts arrived soon after I ordered them. They are easy to assemble. Harpo's favorite toys are pink pencil cap erasers. I place them on top of the post and when he stretches up to scratch, he sees them and knocks them off and plays with them!

Purrfect Post makes the best cat trees! They are so strong and sturdy, and they look really nice in your home. My cats love stretching up and scratching! They also love to nap together on the top bed, which is nice and roomy if you order the big bed version. So worth the purchase!

Our cats enjoyed the first so much that we bought another for the upstairs room. Then we purchased the purrect post which is used often and have replaced with part. Great quality
Mondo Deluxe
The product arrived quickly, and was easy to put together. All parts of the Big Bed Perfect View are well constructed and look great in the home. Our cats tried out the scratching posts and bed quickly, and seem much happier with the materials over other makers products I have bought in the past.

We purchased a scratch post from Purrfect Post in 2012 for our then Maine Coon kitten Briar. She LOVED it! And it is still pretty much unscathed. The Command Center recently purchased was for our latest Maine Coons. They took to it, literally the moment it was unpacked. The muffins are a huge hit! Uncas drags his pillow around like a teddy bear.

My sweet Bastien & Saige love all of their Purrfect Posts. But, the Everest scratching post has many uses, and I love watching how much they enjoy playing on it. They do everything from spinning circles, chasing one’s tail, chasing each other, and of course settling down to take a nap, or watch a good ole window movie!
