Cat Scratching posts

She looks so forlorn in the shelter’s cage, so you decide to take her home. You couldn’t be happier!

Apart from being litter trained, she is sweet and affectionate! But by week’s end, you can’t help feeling tempted to take her back!

The front corner of your once beautiful chintz love seat has been reduced to shreds, all thanks to your precious kitty.

Wait! Taking her back is not the answer! A solution is at hand. What you need to buy, right away, is a good cat scratch post. Searching for and finding a strong and stable to scratch comes naturally to a cat when she is placed in a new surrounding. Herr next best available option is your love seat!

Cats have a territorial instinct that prompts them to place their mark and establish their territory.

Since their paws have scent glands that leave a distinctive scent, cats scratch surfaces in your home to let other cats know that they’re wandering into marked territory.

Not knowing when another cat would turn up, your kitty would do it even if you don’t have any other cats! It also feels good, so cats scratch for that good feeling!

By purchasing a cat scratching post, you solve two problems:

Number one:
Your kitty doesn’t scratch your furniture anymore, and

Number two:
She keeps herself in shape, and at the same time satisfies the urge to scratch. Every time she attacks the scratching post, she gets the workout she needs, with the stretching, pulling and working of the muscles of her front quarters!

Purchase a cat scratch post with a rough surface, like sisal material or something similar and she would actually prefer that scratch post to your love seat. Forget the soft, pretty posts! She’ll show no interest in them whatsoever.

Cats have a need to shred and sisal material (not sisal rope) is perfect for them. Cats cannot resist the urge to shred things! Make sure that your cat scratch post is at least 28” high so that your kitty can get a healthful stretch.

It is imperative that the post is sturdy and won’t move during a heavy duty scratching session! A frightened kitty won’t return to a post that toppled on her!

Do not hesitate another minute, now that you know the reason why kitty scratches! You both need a cat scratch post, not to mention your beautiful chintz love seat!
