Do cats need scratching posts?

Cats do need scratching posts for proper claw grooming and enrichment. Cats have a natural instinct to scratch, so if you don't provide a designated surface for scratching, your cat will find someplace to do it. That place may be your new couch, a staircase railing, an expensive rug, or even your baseboards and walls. Providing a cat scratching post can help keep your cat happy and eliminate household destruction.

What is the best material for a cat scratching post?

The best material for a cat scratching post is usually sisal, jute, or corrugated cardboard. You can also find carpet-covered scratching posts—many cats enjoy the texture of these, too. If you prefer natural fibers, look for scratching posts covered with jute, sisal rope, or woven sisal fabric.

How long do cat scratching posts last?

Cat scratching posts last from a few months to many years. It depends on what type you get, how many cats you have, and how vigorously your kitties scratch. The longest-lasting scratching posts are usually those covered in sisal, jute, or carpet. Corrugated cardboard scratchers last for less time, but they can also be more easily replaced.
