🏠Bedding & habitat for the Domestic Shorthair
Domestic Shorthair : A standard 1.20 m cat tree and a medium bed are enough. If it goes outdoors, a classic cat flap fits its size.
This is the structural purchase — and where mistakes cost the most: too small, badly placed, badly sized. Our guides give serious minimum dimensions for a cat, the materials that last, and the traps of entry-level products.
Cats live in three dimensions: one tall, stable cat tree beats three beds on the floor.
