In the past, many families with young children hesitated to buy cat trees for fear they might tip over and injure a child. The emergence of solid wood wall-mounted cat climbing systems has changed this. Because they are fixed to the wall, there is no risk of tipping. Cleverly, the extra-wide perches and cat caves are placed high on the wall, giving cats a dedicated escape from “toddler trouble” while also keeping cat food bowls and toys out of children’s reach. Multiple mothers have reported that after installing wall-mounted systems, the respective “territories” of cats and children became clearly defined, reducing household conflict significantly. Parenting bloggers have also begun listing such products as “must-haves for families with both pets and kids.”
