She looks so forlorn in the shelter’s cage, so you decide to take her home. A happier person you could not be!
Apart from being litter trained, she is sweet and affectionate! 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! Taking her back is not the answer! There is a solution. What you need to buy, right away, is a good cat scratch post. Searching for and finding a strong and stable to scratch comes naturally to a cat when she is placed in a new surrounding. Herr next best available option is your love seat!
Cats have to establish their territory. It is their territorial instinct that prompts them to scratch and leave a mark.
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! 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. By stretching, pulling and working the muscles of her front quarters, she’ll get the workout that she needs each time she attacks the scratching post!
Purchase a cat scratch post with a rough surface, like sisal material or something similar and she would actually prefer that scratch post to your love seat. The soft pretty looking posts, just forget about them! She’ll show no interest in them whatsoever.
Sisal material and not sisal rope is perfect for satisfying the cats’ need to shred. It’s actually irresistible! Make sure that your cat scratch post is at least 28” high so that your kitty can get a healthful stretch.
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!
Now that you know the reasons why kitty scratches, don’t hesitate another minute! You both need a cat scratch post, not to mention your beautiful chintz love seat!
