It depends on your attitude towards your home. Are you really houseproud? Or are you more concerned about creating an enriched environment for your domestic cat companion? If you fall in the latter category this is a neat fix. You buy some cheap carpet and attach it to one of your walls inside the home. I guess, you could find a nicely-patterned carpet to make it a design feature 👍! It doesn’t matter. The important thing is to do it if you are really keen to excite your cats to climb. Cats love to climb as we all know. They live vertically as well as horizontally. People have to accommodate the desire to move vertically in the domestic cat if we are to energise their mojo which comes from their raw cat within.

Pretty well everything you do to make an environment cat friendly and stimulating concerns vertical movement. The classic addition to the home to meet this requirement would be the cat tree. Almost every home has one. You can go further by building platforms high up on an interior wall. Some dedicated domestic cat environmentalists punch through internal walls to allow cats to enjoy a cat run high up where the wall intersects with the ceiling.
This allows domestic cats to roam around near the ceiling and between rooms. Like I said, you need to be dedicated to the task of enriching the feline environment. Not many people do that because it means that you modify your home where it becomes a shared environment for humans and cats. Aesthetically it is not what you want if you are solely concerned about making your house look nice.

A lot of people want their homes to look really nice. If you modify or downgrade that objective, from the cat’s point of view you have a great home but from your point of view it’s less good. This is about compromise. How far do you go to ‘catify’ the home, to use a Jackson Galaxy made up word?
