Top 5 Factors You Must Know About Cat House & Scratcher
Your furry pet has been ignoring
the cat house & scratcher that
you just bought. It’s probably because you forgot to keep in mind some pointers
that may have made your cat fall in love with the cat house & scratcher
- Why do you
need it
Buying a cat house serves many
purposes. You will always know where to find your elusive pet and there will be
less fur to clean from your furniture. The scratching post on the other hand
keeps your pet away from mischief and is a good way for it to stretch its body
and burn all those calories from tuna!
2.
Height
Cats want their scratching post
to be tall enough to allow them to fully extend their body while scratching. It
helps them to stretch their back and shoulder muscles to maintain flexibility.
Most cats do not like to crouch down to scratch, as it doesn’t give them the
full benefit of stretching. 31 inches is an ideal height for a scratching post.
3.
Material
The scratching post must be of a
material that shreds under their claws and if the post makes a sound while they
are scratching it, cats seem to find it satisfying. Sisal and corrugated
cardboard are some good options for scratching post material. The material of
the cat house &
scratcher should be durable enough
so that it isn’t spoiled easily with persistent clawing and scratching.
4.
Buy
a combo
You can buy a treehouse and
scratching post combo that takes up less space and offers both resting and
playing options to your cat. Cats like to sit atop platforms to survey their
surroundings and to plan their next move!
5.
TreeHouse
Consider buying a treehouse that
comes with dangling toys that keep your cat entertained and busy. Most
treehouses also come with a scratching post.
