A great scratch post can make a huge difference in your relationship with your cat.
Cats are somewhat complex pets, because, while they don't seem to need the attention dogs do, cats have very specific needs.
Your pet will only be happy if he or she has an adequate place to scratch, rub, and play.
Some pet toys even provide beds, which give cats a special space to rest in.
The best pet scratchers are a combination of durable rope and carpet.
You also want to make sure the post is large enough to stay in place while your pet claws it or that your pet is able to climb on it to keep it from moving.
Nothing is more disappointing than giving your cat a toy he or she cannot use.
Another major consideration should be how much space you have in your home.
Homes with multiple cats will need a post that can accommodate all of their pets and may opt for a larger scratch post or a cat gym.
These types of toys provide places for pets to rest, claw and play and keep them off of more valuable home furnishings like couches and chairs.
Proper pet furniture also saves home carpets.
When animals have a space of their own, they will rarely compete with humans for sofas or chairs.
Instead, your cat will happily be found lounging on or scratching his or her toy; provided it is adequate for his for needs.
If you have a large cat, you will likely want a cat post which can either be anchored, or is shaped in such a way that your cat can climb on top of it.
Many people opt for cardboard scratchers.
Unfortunately, these are not the best solution, since they wear out quickly and constantly need to be replaced.
The best scratching devices for your pet are ones he or she can use for at least a few years.
While outside, cats typically sharpen their claws on trees and tree bark.
Only rough rope is tough enough to withstand scratching and adequately maintain your pet's claws.
When you give your animal a durable piece of furniture, he or she will be comforted when he is able to detect his scent again and again.
Disposable pet furniture cannot do this.
The right scratch post will make a big difference in your home.
Not only will it comfort your pet, it will save your couches and chairs and keep your cat from competing with you for space on your furniture.
Your cat will draw comfort from his toy, and be content when he or she is able to maintain his claws and scratch to his hearts content without causing trouble.
