With the improvement of people's quality of life, in order to eliminate loneliness and entertainment to meet their spiritual needs, more and more people choose to keep pet cats, and even regard pet cats as an important member of the family. As cats belong to the cat family, their claws grow faster, so they need to rub their claws to exfoliate the aging keratin on their claws. In order to prevent furniture, electrical appliances and other household items from being damaged by pet cats' claws, many cat scratching toys or scratching posts for pet cats' claws have appeared on the market.
A pet cat scratching post includes a base and a shaft fixed on the base. A number of cardboards are sleeved on the shaft. The shaft is also provided with a pressing member for tightly fitting the cardboard along the axial direction of the shaft. The pressing member is connected to the shaft, and all the cardboard is tightly pressed by the pressing member. A claw grinding body is formed below, and the claw grinding body has at least one claw grinding surface for cats to scratch.
Generally speaking, the materials for the cat scratching post mainly include the following types, sisal fabric and rope, carpet, cardboard and wood. Hemp rope is the most common scratch board material, which can greatly satisfy the cat's satisfaction when scratching. But beware of buying low-priced cat scratchers made of hemp rope. Cardboard cat scratcher that have been impregnated with chemical raw materials will cause substantial damage to the cat's health.
No matter which material you choose, don't choose products that are too cheap. When choosing, you can smell the smell of chemical dyes. The color of the twine is slightly yellow, which can be regarded as an undyed cat scratching board, but the owner needs to be carefully distinguished.
Cats like to scratch furniture and sofas. The surface covering materials of the four scratching posts are corrugated paper, sofa fabric, carpet fabric, and hemp rope. The density of the corrugated scratching post is 4 layers of corrugated paper in a height of 1cm. The carpet fiber is 10mm long. The sofa fabric is 2mm thick, and a 10mm thick sponge layer is placed between the fabric and the wooden pillars to imitate the texture of the sofa. The hemp rope used in the cat scratching post is 10mm thick.
Cats have different preferences for different materials of scratching posts! Whether in terms of the length of claw grinding or the frequency of grinding claws, cats prefer corrugated paper scratching posts and hemp rope scratching posts. This may be because corrugated paper has a texture and smell similar to wood. Wood is the most commonly used claw grinding tool for cats in the natural environment. In terms of contact time, cats prefer scratching posts made of sofa materials.
As the cat sharpens its claws, its scratching skills are gradually improving. If the scratch board used for daily practice is equal to its body length, it will lose its meaning. So it is recommended to choose a long vertical scratching post.
