What should I do if my Scottish Fold ignores a tall cat tree?

Try placing treats or catnip on different levels to spark curiosity. Move the tree near a sunny window or where you spend the most time-cats often prefer spots with a view or your scent.

"Even the tallest tower needs a welcome mat." Try rubbing a soft cloth on your cat's favorite napping spot and then wiping it onto the tree's platforms - your scent on the tree makes it feel safer and more familiar. Also, start by placing the tree horizontally on its side for a few days so your Scottish Fold can explore it without the intimidation of height, then slowly tilt it upright as curiosity grows.

Rub a little bit of your cat’s favorite blanket or toy on the platforms to make them smell familiar and inviting. Sometimes it’s not the height that’s the issue, but the texture or placement - try moving the tree to a spot near a window with a bird feeder outside, or even add a cozy bed on the highest perch. Have you noticed if your Scottish Fold prefers hiding or climbing more? That can help you decide if the tree needs a little adjustment.
