A scratching post is a must-have for any cat owner. Not only does it allow them to sharpen their claws without damaging your furniture, it also provides them with a place to rest, sleep, and hide in enclosed areas.
The scratching post is made of cardboard , which cats love to scratch and sleep on because of its texture. Its rectangular shape makes it very easy for cats to use, as they can simply jump on it and sharpen their claws, just like they do outside on fallen logs.
It contains catnip , which stimulates receptors in cats' noses and encourages them to play, relaxes and calms them.
The scratcher is usable on both sides.
Usage advice
Some cats start using a scratching post spontaneously, while others unfortunately do not, especially if they are not used to it from a young age. There are several ways to encourage your cat to use a scratching post.
Cats are curious animals that love to explore and imitate their owners' behavior. One way is to scratch on the scratching post while the cat is looking at you, and the cat will then copy this behavior. For greater success, sprinkle or spray the scratching post with catnip, which acts on the receptors in the cat's nose and has a stimulating function.
The position of the scratching post should be strategic. We need to find a spot that suits the cat best, or where it already likes to hang out. It is also useful to move it to a new location from time to time to rekindle its interest.
