Turf Shelving for Catios

Why Cats Love Turf

Cats are creatures of comfort and curiosity—and turf shelving speaks to both. From a feline behavior perspective, turf shelving offers a unique blend of sensory satisfaction and instinctual stimulation that traditional wood or wire surfaces simply can’t provide.

A Soft, Familiar Texture

Cats are drawn to grassy textures because they resemble the natural outdoor environments their wild ancestors thrived in. Artificial turf mimics this feeling, providing a soft, springy surface that’s perfect for lounging, rolling, and sunbathing. Whether it’s a midday nap or a sunrise stretch, turf shelves give your cat a luxurious patch of “grass” to call their own.

Scratching, Kneading & Scenting Behavior

Felines use kneading and scratching not only to stretch but to mark territory and relieve stress. Turf provides just enough resistance to allow for this natural behavior without damaging the surface—or your furniture. You may even notice your cat rubbing their face on the turf, marking it as part of their territory. It becomes theirs, which is the ultimate feline compliment.
