It’s important to consider your specific cat when choosing a scratch post. There are small scratch posts for kittens and large towers with multiple posts and platforms for larger breeds and indoor cats. They come in all shapes and sizes, so you will find something to suit the space you have available and the breed of your cat. If your cat is a vertical scratcher as most are, then a scratch post or tower is an essential accessory for your home. Add a Play Circuit, a Food Tree and perhaps the Wellness Centre and your cat will have a whale of a time hunting, chasing and lounging. What we love most is that it can be incorporated into a playground circuit along with some of the other Catit Senses products. The scratcher itself is an oval shape and a great size for any age and breed of feline. The larger size measures 16.53” in diameter making it great for breeds such as Ragdolls and Maine Coons.Ĭatit Senses 2.0 Oval Scratcher - This is part of the brilliant interactive Senses range by Catit. We also love the fact that it comes in two sizes, so you can choose the small for a little kitten and the large for adults. It offers both scratching and lounging capabilities all in one novel design. The large size makes it ideal for all ages and breeds, and it will last a long time before it needs replacing.Ĭatit Pirates Barrel Scratcher - This is a super fun choice!

You can then encourage them to scratch this and divert their attention away from your soft furnishings. If you don’t want your furniture or carpets to be ruined, then a scratch post is a must-have for every cat owner. They also scratch to mark their territory as a sign to other cats, and can scratch when anxious too. There are a number of reasons that your cat scratches, the main one being to keep their claws in tip top condition. Scratching is something that every cat loves to do.
