By discussing the different types of cat jumps, such as upright and overhead types, as well as key points such as material selection, paint safety, and height design of cat jumps, readers will be able to better understand how to choose a cat jump that meets the needs of their own cats.

At the same time, this article also provides purchasing suggestions so that readers can make wise choices when faced with cat jumping platforms of different prices and qualities on the market.

Cat jumping platform recommendations from mybest:

• Upright type: high stability and easy to move, but you must pay attention to the "base thickness" and "number of pillars"
• Standing tall: suitable for "petite cats" who like to climb heights
• The hemp rope material that also functions as a cat scratching post is more convenient
• "Step design" suitable for mature cats, with anti-slip and anti-fall edge design is better
• The convenience of cleaning and maintenance depends on the "location of the nest" and "availability of replaceable parts"
• Refer to product reviews to confirm the ease of assembly.

Cat jumping platform recommendations from Shopee:

1. Material :

• It is better to choose solid wood and avoid using dense boards or boards with edge sealing, because cats like to scratch and bite, which can easily cause surface damage.
• Some cat jumps have fluffy fabric, but they are difficult to clean. If you like the furry feeling, you can place a removable small blanket for easy cleaning.

2. Paint :

• It is safer to choose water-based paint that does not contain heavy metals and formaldehyde. Latex paint is more recommended because of its fine texture and matte feel.
• Consider choosing paints with the "Green Building Materials" label that have been tested and certified, as they are better for the health of humans and cats and the environment.

3. Height :

• Observe how high your cat can jump and choose the appropriate jumping platform height based on his or her personality and abilities.
• For older cats or cats who like to climb high, you can consider installing a slope covered with hemp ropes on the jumping platform to increase safety and play fun.

Cat jumping recommendations from Dcard:

1. Furniture quality awareness :
   • Solid wood furniture was considered a better choice, which I learned due to my classmate’s experience working in a furniture store.
2. Cat jumping platform material preference :
   • Mainly prefer cat jumping platforms made of solid wood, or at least choose ones with a stable structure that won’t shake.
3. market research :
   • The cat jumping platforms on the Shopee platform are mostly made of wood grain veneer, not solid wood.
   • Some sellers claim to be shipped from Taiwan, but they may actually be imported from Taobao.
4. Cat jumping platform design and functions :
   • The top-to-ground cat jumping platform is recommended because it has two joints and is relatively stable, but the design is simple and lacks hiding space.
5. Price and quality :
   • The price of cat jumping platforms on the market in Taiwan is relatively high, usually more than 10,000 yuan, and the prices on Shopee are also more than 6,000 yuan.
   • Low-priced cat jumps are of poor quality and prone to shaking, but they are favored by some people because they are cheap.
   • Emphasizing "you get what you pay for" shows the relationship between price and quality.
6. Buying advice :
   • It is not recommended to purchase a cat jump with fur as it is difficult to clean and is too short for cats.
   • Cat jumping platforms with a height of 70-90 cm are not very practical. If you have a limited budget, it is recommended to purchase a cat jumping platform with a height of at least 150 cm.
   • Remember that cat jumping platforms are consumables. Low-quality cat jumping platforms are easy to break, while wooden cat jumping platforms are more durable and easy to clean.

Design and function of cat jumping platform

A hiding space can provide your cat with a safe and comfortable place to hide when they feel nervous or scared. Designs such as ladders and hammocks can meet cats’ needs for exploration and play, and help keep them active and healthy.

To choose a cat jumping platform that suits your cat’s personality and needs, you must first observe your cat’s daily behavior and preferences.
