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 Sammy scratching post has sisal-covered posts that allow cats to stretch out and scratch and sharpen their claws. At the bottom is a closed cube-shaped house covered in soft plush that offers a comfortable bed for resting.
The top platform with a ball further encourages your cat's play and its instinct to climb and jump. It is also a great place to rest, as cats like to lie in high places.
Usage advice
Some cats start using a scratching post spontaneously, but others unfortunately don't, especially if they haven't been used to it since they were little. 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 watching 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.
