Seasonal Scratchers, Posts & Cat Furniture
Scratchers wear out, so replacing one in October is easy to justify. Petco carries Halloween cat scratchers and furniture in pumpkin shapes, coffin designs and spooky prints, including cardboard pads, sisal posts and small scratching lounges.
Getting your cat to use a new scratcher
Place the scratcher near where your cat already scratches or beside a favorite sleeping spot rather than tucking it out of the way. Cats have individual preferences for vertical posts versus flat cardboard pads, so if one style isn't getting used, try the other. A sprinkle of catnip on a new scratcher usually speeds up adoption.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Place it where your cat already scratches or near where they sleep, since location matters more than the scratcher itself. Try catnip on the surface to draw interest. If a vertical post isn't used, a flat cardboard pad may suit your cat better, as preferences vary.
-
Replace cardboard scratchers once the surface is heavily shredded and no longer offers resistance, which is often every few months for an enthusiastic scratcher. Sisal posts last considerably longer but should be replaced when the rope is frayed through or loose.
-
It depends on your cat. Cardboard pads are inexpensive and appeal to cats who scratch horizontally, while sisal posts last longer and suit cats who stretch upward to scratch. Many households provide both so cats can choose.
