For
the last couple of days I have been watching the rescue cats to
determine their individual scratching needs. I found that they all
scratch different. One of the kittens likes to lie on their back and
scratch under the sofa, then the other one likes to sit in front of
the sofa and scratch, the smallest kitten likes to scratch with paws
stretch to an object above her head like the wood trim that goes
around the doorways or my drapes. All of the kittens claws have
been clipped so they have not damaged anything, but my observation
was needed to determine their scratching habits.
Once
I figured out my kittens scratching needs, I knew that a single sisal
post was not going to entertain them and a cat that lies on back will
not use the upright scratching post. I needed to shop
at PETCO.com and choose the right scratching
post or
tree for the cats.
I have also found quality cat trees and scratching posts at Petsmart.com and Bizrate.com and overstock.com If shopping online pick out a tree with many stars and read the reviews.

TIPS
- Getting the right scratching post is a way to provide the cats with entertainment for hours, tons of fun for the felines. They can scratch according to their needs and play in the carpet covered cubes.
- Know that cat trees can be expensive but I think they are worth it because once you set up the tree the cat goes to the tree without hesitation. It is their special place where they can climb, scratch and sleep.
- If you buy a less expensive cat tree that is not sturdy, then I would recommend that you attach it to your wall and to the floor so that it is permanent. Make the cat tree a permanent structure that does not move around and your cat will be safe and happy.
- Buy a quality tree that will not fall over and may hurt your cat, especially if they are older and cannot move fast.
