Cats scratch for many reasons: These include marking of territory, exercising and of course because it feels good! When your cat scratches your furniture it leaves behind scent markers which mark your cat’s territory. Your cat will mark highly visible parts of the house. By providing a safe place to scratch such as one of our scratchers you will save the furniture.
Scratching post are essentially a waste of money UNLESS properly designed and built. Our handmade scratchers have been built to a careful design which is ergonomically designed for the average housecat. For a scratcher to be of any use the post must be at least 28 inches high. Any shorter and your cat cannot stretch out. Some rival products made in the UAE do not take this vital measurement into account! Try it yourself. Measure the length from your cats paw tips to its hips and then imagine it scratching a post that is 15 inches tall!!
To be fully effective the scratcher should be placed in a prominent position in a room that the cat uses often. Placing it next to the litter is not desirable, but having your scratcher in the living room is ideal!
All our scratchers have been rigorously tested to ensure they are safe and fun for your cat. See our Testers page for more information.
