You’ve received that leather seat you’ve wanted for months, but little kitty won’t let it rest. Each time you look away, all she wants is to rip it up. You can’t help but keep on reprimanding her “bad cat.” The good news is you can resolve this problem in a jiffy. Get your kitty a cat scratching board. Here are the best materials for a board to keep your kitty busy.
Sisal Fabric or Rope
Sisal fabric is among the best materials for a cat scratching board. Despite being ripped, it doesn’t tear because it’s durable. It only shreds in a way that satisfies your cat, keeping her away from your valuables. The good thing about sisal fabric, it doesn’t entangle your cats’ claws, and therefore it’s fun for your cat to use.
Cardboard
Cardboard is a great option to consider as a cat scratching post. It’s cheap and readily available. That it is steady makes it a great cat scratcher. To optimize its effectiveness, you can place it vertically so your cat can enjoy it as the shredded pieces fall off. Since it can make a mess, place it in an area that is easy to clean.
Wood
When it comes to cat scratchers, you can never go wrong with a piece of wood. Cats enjoy the ripping sound that is produced during scratching. Unlike other materials, wood is long-lasting and does not make a mess. Just place a block of wood strategically against a wall or on the floor, and your cat will thank you eternally.
Finding a cat scratcher is easy and cheap. Furthermore, these materials are durable, and you only need to replace them occasionally. Enjoy the company of your furry friend without yelling every time she ruins something you like. Which material would you consider for your scratchy kitty cat? Leave a comment and let us know.
