I have come across "Spielmöbel für Katzen" (cat furniture)but what is Spielmöbel on its own? Is it just furniture and how can you include the "Spiel" part?

I can't afford furniture for my five cats, one dog, 3 parrots and 10 canaries. They have to make do with the bare necessities.

: sadly, they do even make little armchairs, sheepskin beds that attach to radiators etc., and little houses with platforms to sleep and play on!!

I have seen different types of furniture made for cats ... it is not what we "humans" would understand as furniture (couches, sofas, talbles etc...) more like the stuff you find on the following page:
