Cat Owner Short on Space? Tall Cat Tree Toy that Fits on Door

Cats love climbing, especially on cat tree toys, but the biggest complaint amongst cat owners is the amount of space they take up. Even a litterbox seems to take up too much space at times!

 A tall cat tree toy that fits on your door is an easy way to compromise with your kitty while giving them the chance to get their exercise, stretch their claws, and have fun.

 
Cat toys that utilize space, such as this tall cat tree that fits on the door, is a great idea for apartment dwellers who are short on space.

This particular toy can fit on the bathroom door, back of the front door, or spare bedroom door. It can even go on the inside of the closet door -- just leave the door open when the cat can play and close it for easy storage when you have company.

If you're short on space, a cat tree toy that fits on the door is a perfect solution for both you and your kitty.

Breeds that are Similar to Siamese Cats

Balinese - long haired Siamese.
Burmese - Descendants of a cat found in Burma named Wong Mau in 1930. Wong Mau was bred with a Siamese, and while Burmese aren't technically derived from Siamese, they were initially thought to be a variant of Siamese, hence crossbreeding.
Colorpoint Shorthair - The result of crossbreeding with other shorthair cats. Resembles a Siamese except for the lack of traditional coloring.

Himalayan - Derived from crossing Persians with Siamese. Referred as a Colorpoint Persian in Europe, and considered to be a member of the Persian breed by CFA.
Javanese - Longhaired version of the Colorpoint Shorthair.
Ocicat - Result of crossing an Abyssian with a Siamese; a spotted cat.
Oriental Shorthair, Oriental Longhair - Same style as a Siamese, with non-pointed colors, including tabby, silver, and tortoiseshell.
