I apologize if this is a stupid question in advance.
I have 2 pet cockatiels and I know that if they are up too high, they do get an attitude that they are dominant over you - that they are the flock leader. I was wondering if this also applies to cats.
We got this scratching post/stand for Batman (7 months old) that actually goes all the way our 7 foot ceilings - it has the base and then 3 perches he can sit on and a rubber thing that does stick to the ceiling so it can't topple over. I got it so he could have some vertical climbing space. If he's on the top perch, he's basically slightly above our head level!
He likes to get on that top perch, wait for us to walk by, then smack us in the head.
I thought this was cute at first, but I am wondering if it's going to give him an attitude?
Before we had this huge post, he would hide behind something, wait for us to walk by, then smack us in the leg. 90% of the time his claws are not out and he's probably just playing, but I want to make sure this isn't an issue.
Here is the post - this was taken the 1st day and he wasn't quite comfortable with it. Now he is usually on that higher perch. It is quite safe in case anyone is wondering.
Let me know if this tall stand is a bad idea or if he's just having fun.
