Kitty Scratching Post
She looks so forlorn in the shelter’s cage, so you decide to take her home. You couldn’t be happier!
Apart from being litter trained, she is sweet and affectionate! You cannot help the feeling of wanting to take her back at the week’s end!
The front corner of your once beautiful chintz love seat has been reduced to shreds, all thanks to your precious kitty.
Wait! Don’t take her back! A solution is at hand. 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.
Not knowing when another cat would turn up, your kitty would do it even if you don’t have any other cats! 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 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. 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. 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! 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 need your love seat, and you need your kitty, so the both of you need a cat scratch post!
