Do cats need a scratch pad?

Cats do need a scratch pad or a sturdy scratching post where they can sharpen their claws and stretch. Cat scratch pads come in a range of sizes, shapes and materials, and Chewy carries them in lots of shapes, sizes, colors and fun designs. Look for cat scratch boards in wavy or inclined shapes to add an element interest your cat will surely enjoy. You can also find enclosed house-style cat scratch boxes that double as hiding places and cat scratching boards.

How often should you replace cat scratch pads?

You should replace cat scratch pads that are made of corrugated cardboard roughly every 3-4 months. Replace the pad once the material is no longer firm and satisfying for your cat to scratch. If you notice your cat is using the scratching pad less, it may be a sign that it is time to replace the scratch board.

How do I get my cat to use a scratch board?

You can usually get your cat to use a scratch board simply by putting it out, although sprinkling catnip on it may be necessary if your cat doesn't immediately notice it. You can also try making scratching noises on the board yourself, putting your cat on the board, especially when you notice her scratching elsewhere, and dangling toys over it to get her playful and clawing. Moving the scratching board closer to places where your cat likes to scratch may also help her learn to use her new scratching surface.
