Kitty Scratch Posts
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.
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! 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 can satisfy her urge to scratch and keep herself in shape at the same time. 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!
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. Forget the soft, pretty posts! They will not gain her interest al all.
Sisal material and not sisal rope is perfect for satisfying the cats’ need to shred. It’s actually irresistible! 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!
