Do you have holes in your couch? Are your doors marred? If you answered yes than it is probably time you invested in a proper place for your cat to scratch. You see scratching is an instinctual behavior which trims claws and leaves behind cat scent to establish territory. Generally assembled from posts covered in carpet or sisal they are structurally sound while also being very inviting to your furry feline friend. Now new scratching products are on the market that are sleek and modern and eco-friendly. Made from double wall corrugated cardboard they are available in many shapes from cocoons to footballs, wedges of cheese and even just a wavy strip that can be on the floor or attached to the wall. These are great alternatives to your furniture, but you first have to deter her from scratching where you do not want her to and then show her where she can. Use unpleasant tap and sprays to make your furniture and doorways less inviting. Then provide her with her own scratching post, furniture or boards as an alternative. Pay attention to where she scratches to get one of the right materials. If kitty likes to scratch wooden legs and doorframes try a post made of wood like cedar. If she can't resist soft things like a sofa choose a carpeted cat tree or perch. Sisal, a tough marine grade rope, is also a feline favorite on posts or trees. So set your kitty up right and shop at Simply Cat Supplies for the scratching posts or other cat furniture that you need. She is your cat. We are here to help.
