If you are a fan of Jackson Galaxy on Animal Planet’s My Cat from Hell, then you may be familiar with the terms he uses in references to cats: bush dweller vs. tree dweller. This is a distinction made between felines who enjoy being hidden or those who like to be up high.

The cat veterinarians at Naperville Animal Hospital thought it would be fun to explore the questions of whether your cat is a bush dweller or tree dweller. Let’s explore!
