Have you ever spent a ton of money (or time) on a cat scratcher only to have your felines poo poo the new item? Major bummer. Don’t fret though, it’s all about figuring out what your kitty’s preferred material to rip up is.
Look around the house and take note of what your cat particularly enjoys shredding—the couch, cardboard boxes, wooden bookcases, etc. From there you’ll know what they like sinking their nails into and can buy or make the appropriate alternative.
If your cat likes fabric, I recommend getting them something made of either sisal rope or carpeting. If they like chewing or scratching moving boxes or packaging, throw down on a lounger made of sandwiched cardboard. But if you notice your cat particularly likes to dig into wooden furniture, consider buying a cat post made of lumber to satiate their needs.
