Cats need to scratch to care for their paws and claws, stretch their muscles, mark their territory, and work out their anxiety. This scratch post allows cats to get a full stretch in. Its design allows your kitty to tone his muscles and mark his territory without clawing your walls or pricey curtains. The scratching post is covered in a fibrous woven sisal that won't snag your cats nails, like some carpet-covered scratch posts do. It is a great cardboard cat scratcher because of its incline. Watch your cat roll around and scratch on a fun window cat perch. Help them satisfy that need with a scratching post.
