🐾 Do Cats Have Aesthetic Preferences? Let’s Talk Feline Taste.

Exploring whether cats care about design — or if it's all just for us humans.

 🪞 1. Color Preferences: Coincidence or Cat-titude?

Some cats gravitate toward lighter or softer colored platforms. Others seem to avoid bold or dark materials.

While cats don’t see color the same way we do (they see blues and yellows best), their reactions to different textures and lighting suggest they do notice differences — and sometimes develop strong preferences.

At Purr Nook, we’ve seen Happy consistently nap on our light pink jellyfish bed, while Cookie prefers the calm and airy feel of our soft blue perch. Coincidence? We think not.

🪟 2. Cats Love Clean Lines (and Clear Spaces)

Cats are territorial creatures. They love clear vantage points and easy escape routes — so a cluttered, bulky cat tower? Probably not their favorite.

We’ve found that cats tend to enjoy modern cat trees with open layouts, gentle curves, and solid platforms — far more than the old-school types with stacked lines and cramped spaces.

Not only do they look better in your living room, but your cat may actually feel more at ease using them.

🌈 3. They Definitely Judge Texture

Soft faux fur? Yes. Slippery plastic? Nope. Cats are highly sensitive to textures under their paws and bellies.

That’s why you’ll often see them sniffing a cushion for 30 seconds before deciding to sit on it.

This is why we focus on carefully selected, washable, and comfort-tested materials in every Purr Nook cat tree. Aesthetic meets approval.

🛋️ 4. It’s All About the Vibe

Cats are emotional creatures. Some like being the center of attention, others prefer hidden caves.

The way a space feels — soft lighting, cozy corners, low noise — absolutely affects their behavior.

Our jellyfish cat tree features a soft-lit top cave that becomes an irresistible nap zone in the evening.

🐱 So… do cats have aesthetic taste?

We say: not in the Pinterest-board way — but definitely in a sensory-driven, comfort-conscious, vibe-sensitive kind of way.

Just like humans, they avoid what makes them uncomfortable and seek out what brings them calm, security, and curiosity.

And if that just so happens to be a chic jellyfish cat tree in blush pink or sky blue... maybe they're just a little bit like us after all.
