Scratching Posts & Pads

Regardless of the design, colour or size of the cat scratching post or activity centre you decide to purchase all the scratch posts we supply use catnip, a natural herbal attractant that is part of the mint family, that cat's love to roll in, sniff and lick if planted in your garden, to encourage and stimulate them to use the cat scratching post rather than clawing your home furniture.

Practical cat scratching post advice

Scratching is a territorial and instinctive behaviour, cats like rough surfaces then can shred, consequently supplying your cat with a suitable cat scratching post, such as sisal scratch post will encourage them to use the post rather than your furnishings! We suggest you choose a scratching post that is suitable for your cats age and energy levels as older cats like to relax more than kittens.

A scratching post should be tall enough for your cat or kitten to stretch out and claw on, working the muscles of your cat and keeping them in shape. The cat scratching post should also ideally be secure so that it doesn't topple over, so we advise purchasing a heavy or large cat post if you have a large cat such as a main coon!

Scratching allows a cat to mark their territory, so a cat scratch post should be placed in a room in your house that is used by all the family, not hidden away out of view. Place the post where your cat likes to scratch, near a sofa, chair or curtains, you may need a few scratch posts to cover your cat's favourite scratching places.

We also suggest you place a scratch post where you cat likes to sleep, as many cats like to stretch themselves out and scratch in the morning or in the middle of the night.

You can also encourage your cat to scratch the post by feeding and playing with them by the scratching post, rubbing home grown cat nip into the post, rewarding your cat with a treat for using the it and attach toys around it to make scratching the post more enjoyable and capture their interest!
