Why do cats need scratching posts?

Scratching is a natural behavior that helps cats stretch, mark territory, relieve stress, and keep their claws healthy. Scratching posts provide an appropriate outlet to satisfy this instinct.

What is the best type of scratching post for a cat?

The best scratching post is one that matches your cat's preferences. Tall, sturdy sisal posts are popular, but some cats prefer cardboard or carpeted surfaces. Offering multiple types can help you find their favorite.

What materials do cats prefer for scratching?

Many cats love sisal rope or fabric for its rough, fibrous texture. Others prefer corrugated cardboard, wood, or carpet. Each cat is different, so it may take some experimenting.

How tall should a cat scratching post be?

Ideally, a scratching post should be at least 30 inches tall to allow a full-body vertical stretch. Taller is often better, as long as it's stable enough to support your cat's weight.

How do I get my cat to use a scratching post?

Place the post in an area your cat already frequents and encourage use with catnip, treats, or play. Praise them when they use it, and gently redirect if they scratch elsewhere.

Where should I place a scratching post?

Put scratching posts near furniture your cat tends to scratch, close to their favorite napping spots, or in high-traffic areas where they like to hang out. Multiple posts throughout the home can help.

Are cardboard scratching posts good for cats?

Yes! Cardboard scratchers are inexpensive, lightweight, and loved by many cats. They're especially appealing for cats who enjoy a softer, shreddable texture.
