Cats like to scratch furniture and curtains at a certain stage. In order to prevent items in your home from being scratched, you might as well prepare a cat scratching post to help them sharpen their nails and stretch their muscles. Preparing a cat scratching board at home can avoid the inconvenience of trimming nails for cats living indoors for a long time, and meet the needs of cats. But in the face of more and more types and specifications of cat scratchers on the market, how to choose the right one?
At present, the types of cat scratchers on the market include corrugated paper, hemp rope, linen and so on. Hemp rope scratchers mostly use natural sisal white-brown rope. Some scratchers have a smell similar to cat grass, which will attract cats more.
Faced with scratchers of different heights and widths, it is difficult for inexperienced owners to know what size scratcher to choose for cats. In fact, all choices are based on the cat's native living environment.
1. Scratching Posts
Scratching posts for cats is the most popular type, which is what most people can think of. The base of cat scratching posts is very wide, usually more than 12 inches square. The pillars are covered with sisal, a plant fiber very similar to rope. Sisal can be glued to a pillar or wrapped by a rope. When the scraping column wrapped by the rope is loose, it is easy to replace.
We prefer the scraping column with rope wrap, because if it is loosened, you can replace it. Alternative sisal is inexpensive and easy to use, but changing the fabric is not an easy task. Some carpet coverings are durable for scratching, but the cat's claws may catch some fibers, which is not good for pets.
2. Scratching Towers
Scratching towers are large versions of scraping columns. These scrapers are large enough to double as resting platforms. These cat perch towers are perfect for users with a few cats. They are often fixed on the wall to increase stability. It uses sisal scraper material or sisal rope. The resting platform is carpeted and may have hanging toys. The cat scratch tower is more expensive than the scraping column.
3. Vertical scraper
The vertical cat scraper is hung on the wall like a sign, and cardboard is used as the scraping material. These cardboards are recyclable and biodegradable. The price is very affordable. The only disadvantage is that the service life is not as long as cat scratching posts wrapped in sisal.
4. Flat scraper
The horizontal scratching pad is placed flat on the floor. Like the vertical scraper, the low-cost cardboard scraper material is recyclable and biodegradable. You can place these scratchers wherever you can in your home.
The round cat scratcher is more suitable for cats than the square cylinder scratcher. Cats in their native environment need to hunt and grind their claws every day. The best practice objects are tree stumps and tree trunks, all of which are cylindrical in shape. Returning to life, they are naturally more receptive to the cylindrical shape that is close to the shape of a tree stump.
