Cat Scratching posts

She looks so forlorn in the shelter’s cage, so you decide to take her home. A happier person you could not be!

She’s affectionate, sweet and best of all, she’s litter-trained! You cannot help the feeling of wanting to take her back at the week’s end!

Thanks to your precious little kitty, the front corner of your once beautiful chintz love seat is now reduced to shreds.

Wait! Don’t take her back! 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 to establish their territory. It is their territorial instinct that prompts them to scratch and leave a mark.

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! 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 keeps herself in shape, and at the same time satisfies the urge to scratch. 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!

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. The soft pretty looking posts, just forget about them! They will not gain her interest al all.

Sisal material and not sisal rope is perfect for satisfying the cats’ need to shred. Cats cannot resist the urge to shred things! Your kitty needs to get a healthy stretch while she scratches, so make sure that the cat scratch post is at least 28″ high.

The post should not move during one of her heavy duty scratching sessions, so it is imperative that it is sturdy! 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!
