We want our furniture to be scratch and tear-free. We also want our cats happy. Is that possible, knowing how cats love to scratch and their favorite victims are wooden furniture legs and upholstery? By getting your cat scratcher early on, you will train him to do his habit in the right places. By stretching and clawing against a cat scratcher he gets to exercise and maintain healthy claws. Give him all the scratching posts that he need. Set up a few pieces around the house and outdoors.
It is important to know your cat’s scratching habits. Some cats claw at the carpet while lying on the floor. Others prefer to position themselves upright; the walls and upholstery becomes their target. They also have material preferences. Some cats prefer hard surfaces like wood; others will scrape and claw at fabric and other soft material such as cardboard. Observe your cat’s preferences. This will help you decide on the kind of cat scratcher to buy.
