Scratching posts - a must if you have an indoor cat!

Scratching posts and cat trees are fun for the cat to scratch and climb on. Cats usually like to get up to high places and look out over the surroundings - a cat tree allows this in a fun way. The cat gets some exercise by climbing, and some scratching furniture has places for the cat to sit or lie on. Cat scratching furniture comes in all sorts of models and materials, but usually sisal and seaweed are on the climbing surfaces. Scratching boards can be in cardboard, which also is nice for the cat to scratch on. When looking for a scratching post for the cat, you can think about how big a cat you have and how much space you have at home. On this page you can find lower scratching posts for kittens and smaller cats, and XL scratching posts that are extra tall so that the cat can really stretch out and scratch.

A popular type of cat scratching furniture is a cat tree. Cat trees are available with many variations, but often it is a plate at the bottom with two or more scratching posts. The scratching posts can end in another plate and then several posts that continue up. Some climbing trees have several different boards where the cat can climb or sleep, and some have hammocks and tunnels. Some climbing trees even have built-in toys! Then it hangs for example a small mouse or a ball in a string that the cat can climb up to and hit with the paw. It is common for the posts to be clad in sisal - which is nice for the cat to scratch on and which is easy to climb on - and the tiles are textile clad with plush or faux fur.
