Sisal Cat Scratching Post
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. Your loveseat is the best available option!
Cats have a territorial instinct that prompts them to place their mark and establish their territory.
They inform other cats that they are coming into marked territory, by leaving a distinctive scent on the surface they scratch from the sweat glands in their paws.
Even if you don’t have any other cats, your kitty doesn’t know when one might show up! Cats also scratch simply because it feels good!
By purchasing a cat scratching post, you solve two problems:
Number one:
Your kitty doesn’t scratch your furniture anymore, and
Number two:
She can satisfy her urge to scratch and keep herself in shape at the same time. By stretching, pulling and working the muscles of her front quarters, she’ll get the workout that she needs each time she attacks the scratching post!
Actually, she’ll prefer her cat scratch post to your loveseat, as long as you purchase one made of rough sisal material or something similar. The soft pretty looking posts, just forget about them! They will not gain her interest al all.
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! If the post topples on her, she will be frightened of it, and not come near it ever again!
Now that you know the reasons why kitty scratches, don’t hesitate another minute! You both need a cat scratch post, not to mention your beautiful chintz love seat!
