Smart Cat The Ultimate Scratching Post

Product Information

The FUKUMARU is another scratching post with a difference. This one is shaped like a triangle which not only means that it can be placed in a host of positions, it also allows your cat to play in and around it, and when one side of the carpeted scratcher has been worn away, you can simply turn it over to extend its life further. The Ruby Road Wall Mounted Cat Scratching Post is a modestly sized cat scratching pad that can be laid flat on the floor or mounted to the wall. Because it can be wall mounted, it is suitable for cats of all sizes, although it is quite narrow which means that your cat may end up clawing the wall next to it.

SmartCat Ultimate Sisal Scratching Post - 83.5cm Height

Russell Hartstein, CDBC, CPDT-KA, canine executive officer, Fun Paw Care, phone interview, March 16, 2018 Kittens start scratching from a young age, and if you don’t have a post or a cat tree in place by this time, your little ball of fur is likely to turn its attention to chair legs or your legs as somewhere to sharpen its claws. That doesn’t mean you have to spend a small fortune and fill your room with a giant cat tree, though. In theory, the SmartyKat – Scratch Up Cardboard sounded great because it allows you to increase the height of an 18-inch cardboard pad to the height of a doorknob. However, after placing it on several doorknobs, it was simply too high to use and moved around frequently when we tried to entice the cats to use the pad. We love the height for vertical scratching posts because it gives cats room to scratch and stretch on instinct. But you must also have sturdy and heavy bases to prevent cats from toppling the scratcher. We also prefer posts to be glued and stapled securely to prevent cats from hurting themselves. Shape & size Each scratch pad has two sides, so you can elongate the life of this scratcher by simply turning it over. Our cat testers, Jelly Bean and Marshmellow loved using this scratcher and sleeping on it during breaks. It’s a two-in-one accessory! It’s best to place this scratcher on a rug or carpeted surface to prevent it from moving during scratching.After your cat begins to scratch, praise him and give him a food treat - small kittens can be trained to climb the scratcher by showing them food treats and placing it at the top of the scratcher. If you think that scratching posts don’t offer enough entertainment, and you have a lot of spare space, a giant cat tree could be the ultimate solution. Gob: Ginger cats are known to be playful and aloof, and Gob is no different. This five-year-old kitty loves to snuggle as much as he likes to get his wiggles out by chasing or scratching vertical posts. He’s currently 12 pounds and measures 19 inches. The SmartCat Ultimate Scratching Post is both a vertical and horizontal scratching post for cats who like to scratch in both directions - reaching up high or stretched across the floor. Assembly for the SmartCat was fairly easy and fast. The post came already assembled, and you just needed to attach it to the wooden base with two screws. We liked that it also included tips on introducing your cat to the scratcher at the bottom of the base. Read more…

The SmartCat – Ultimate Scratching Post is the most durable cat scratcher stable enough for even our biggest 18-pound kitty. Another option we liked is the MECOOL – Scratching Post for its combination of sisal rope and plush fabric. Scratchable area: We favored cat scratchers with greater scratchable surface areas—the areas covered in sisal, carpet, or cardboard. You should replace your cat scratching post when it’s been physically clawed to pieces or you notice that your cat isn’t using it as much as they used to. Most last between 6 months and 2 years depending on the quality of the material and how frequently your cat uses it. Sometimes a cat can dislodge pieces that may be hazardous to them, so if you see yours looking worse for the wear, it may be best to err on the side of caution and replace it. To introduce the scratcher to your cat try using catnip as a lure (for most cats a lure is unnecessary, but fun). Rub catnip onto the sisal material and call the cat over to the scratcher.It looks attractive enough to be put in any room and it will withstand heavy abuse even from the largest cats, but the durability and good looks do come at a cost, and this is the most expensive item on the list.
