Cat Tree Furniture

Cats scratch.  You’re never going to change that.

The solution is to teach them where to scratch.

Sisal Scraching Pad Attaches to Back

That is not as hard as you may think.  You have to start with a good cat scratching post or cat tree and a good measure of patience.  The scratching post or cat tree has to be sturdy and made of a material the cat will enjoy digging its’ claws into.  The most popular scratching medium are sisal rope, sisal carpet and regular carpet of a commercial grade .

Once you have the post or tree in place you need to encourage your cat to use it.  The best way to approach this is by teasing the cat with a cat toy, or perhaps a bit of catnip, and then piling on the praise when the cat digs in its claws.  Simply by repeating these steps you will be able to modify your cats’ behavior and have it scratch only in the approved place.  Cats are creatures of habit, so as soon as your cat knows where scratching is permissible, and as long as you keep a good scratching medium in place, you should not experience any problems with your cat scratching drapes or furniture.

You can Google any number of terms relevant to why cats scratch and read articles to your hearts content.  But we all know its an inherent feline behavior that you can’t stop, your only hope is to direct the activity to an approved area and acceptable surface.

Cat scratching posts and cat trees are the ideal objects for your cat(s) to use to satisfy their need to scratch.  The scratching surface needs to be tall enough for your cat to stand on its hind legs and reach its front paws up as high as it can, digging its claws into the surface and pulling down.  This allows your cat to shed the outer layer on each claw keeping it sharp;  it also satisfies the need for your cat to mark its territory;  and we are told by the experts that for the cat it really feels good to stretch and pull.

Add optional scratcher

We offer a 24″ tall by 4″ wide sisal scratching pad that attaches to the back of many of our cat trees.  We can add this option to any tree that does not have leaves encircling the trunk.  So the pad will fit on the large and small Sunflower, the large and small Black Eyed Susan, the Purple Passion and the Tropical Flower.

To extend the life of the sisal scratching pad we’ve made it reversible.  As your cat scratches one area of the pad to smithereens you can easily detach the pad without any tools, turn it around, stick it back on and give your cat a brand new scratching surface.  Replacement pads can also be ordered greatly extending the life of the cat tree while protecting your furniture and drapes.

Start directing your cats’ scratching activity today – order one of our trees with the optional sisal scratching pad.
