  • Prevents Destructive Behaviour: Providing your cat with a dedicated cat scratcher helps protect your sofas, carpets, and curtains from unwanted clawing.

How to Choose the Best Cat Scratcher

When deciding on a cat scratcher, consider the space available and your cat’s habits. Cats that love to stretch upwards will appreciate tall scratching posts, while more relaxed cats might prefer flat, cushioned surfaces. If your cat is particularly active, consider a multi-level scratching tower that offers both scratching posts and climbing platforms. Additionally, look for materials that are durable and attractive to cats, such as sisal or corrugated cardboard.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cat Scratchers

Why does my cat need a scratcher?

Scratching is a natural behaviour for cats. It helps them maintain healthy claws, stretch their muscles, and mark their territory. A cat scratcher provides a designated spot for this behaviour, reducing the likelihood of your cat damaging your furniture.

What material is best for a cat scratcher?

Many cats prefer sisal due to its rough texture, which provides resistance when they scratch. Cardboard is also a popular choice, as it is lightweight and satisfying for cats to shred. It’s important to observe your cat’s preference and choose a scratcher made from durable, cat-friendly materials.

How do I stop my cat from scratching the furniture?

Providing your cat with a cat scratcher is the best way to prevent furniture scratching. Place the scratcher near the area they usually scratch, and encourage them to use it with toys or catnip. Over time, they’ll likely prefer the scratcher over your furniture.

What’s the difference between a vertical and a horizontal cat scratcher?

A vertical scratcher allows your cat to stretch their full body while scratching, which is great for cats that enjoy climbing or standing up. A horizontal scratcher is ideal for cats that prefer to scratch flat surfaces or lounge while they scratch. Some cats may enjoy both types, so it’s useful to offer a variety.

Can I train my kitten to use a scratcher?

Yes, you can train a kitten to use a cat scratcher by introducing it early and placing it in areas where the kitten naturally likes to scratch. Use toys, treats, or catnip to encourage them to use the scratcher, and always offer praise when they do so.

Are multi-level cat scratchers good for all cats?

Multi-level cat scratchers are great for active cats, providing scratching posts, climbing opportunities, and resting spots all in one. They may be particularly useful for young or playful cats, though older cats or those less active may prefer simpler, lower-level scratchers.

How often should I replace a cat scratcher?

The lifespan of a cat scratcher depends on how often your cat uses it and the material it’s made from. If the scratcher starts to look worn down or your cat loses interest, it’s time for a replacement. Regularly check for signs of wear and tear to ensure your cat is still getting good use out of it.
