Cat Scratchers
She looks so forlorn in the shelter’s cage, so you decide to take her home. You couldn’t be happier!
She’s affectionate, sweet and best of all, she’s litter-trained! But by week’s end, you can’t help feeling tempted to take her back!
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! There is a solution. What you need to buy, right away, is a good cat scratch post. After all, she’s doing what comes naturally to her, looking for a strong and stable surface to scratch. Your loveseat is the best available option!
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.
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 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! 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! Your kitty needs to get a healthy stretch while she scratches, so make sure that the cat scratch post is at least 28″ high.
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!
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!
