Top 7 Tips for Cat Scratching Post Importance

Scratching satisfies innate territorial marking behaviors. Posts offer approved outlets without damaging your home.

Instincts

Scratching sheds old layers from claws so newer, sharper ones emerge. Keeps them healthy as they grow.   

Claws  

Stretching front and back legs on vertical posts extends muscles and joints. Supports flexibility.  

Stretch  

 Scratching serves as stress relief and sensory soothing after naps or high energy play. Calms cats.

Destress  

Attractive, sturdy posts spark scratching instinct cues. Various materials like sisal rope or cardboard suit preferences.  

Entice  

Put favored posts near furniture to divert scratching. Saves your sofas, chairs and curtains. Praise or treat when kitty scratches good posts.   

Deter   

Check posts routinely for wear, tear or instability. Add new cat scratchers so textures compel renewed curiosity.
