Why 83% of cat behaviorists recommend vertical space solutions
The Hidden Crisis in Modern Cat Parenting
Every morning, millions of cat owners face the same grim sight: shredded sofas, knocked-over decor, and restless felines pacing through the house. Conventional wisdom suggests more toys or spray deterrents, but veterinary behaviorists reveal a startling truth – these are merely symptoms of vertical space deprivation syndrome.
“Cats are arboreal creatures by evolutionary design,” explains Dr. Sarah Ellis, feline behavior specialist. “When we confine them to floor-level living, we’re triggering stress behaviors that manifest as destruction.”
