Finding a reliable brand of entertaining toys for your feline friend can be a challenge. You want high-quality and durable supplies that your cat will find amusing and engaging. Petlinks cat toys can be a great option for pet parents looking for a wide selection of wands, plush animals, scratchers and catnip to help their felines get regular exercise.
Playing together can be a great way for cats and their parents to bond while getting quality mental and physical stimulation. Teaser wands made by Petlinks are made from natural and pet-safe materials so that you can focus on fun with your pet instead of worrying about the quality of your cat toy. And if you’ve ever been jealous watching dog parents playing at the park, Petlinks cat toys like Feather Flippers or launchers can make for a terrific game of fetch with your kitty. Of course, a simple plush toy can often be enough to help kick off playtime with you and your cat, and many of the plush toys made by Petlinks make enticing sounds—from crinkling to realistic bird sounds—to attract your pet’s attention further.
Some cats need exercise and play most when you’re not at home to help keep them from getting lethargic. Electronic toys for cats can be a great option when you’re away from home or for times when you’re a little too busy to play. At Petco, we carry numerous Petlinks motion toys—like electronic wands, spinner toys, roller toys and the Petlinks Mystery Motion toy—that can help keep your feline engaged and entertained for long periods.
Petlinks also offers solutions for the most basic, instinctive feline form of play—scratching. Often scratching is how cats express emotions, mark their territory and maintain their nails, but most pet parents know how frustrating the effect can be on household furniture. A Petlinks cat scratcher can help give your couch a break and let your kitty release some pent-up energy at the same time. You can choose from fun shapes like a traditional scratching post, scratch ramps, door hangers, curls or mats. Or check out the Petlinks Dream Curl—a uniquely shaped, multi-surface scratcher that offers different styles of interaction to help entertain your feline. A Petlinks cat scratcher can help frustrated pet parents reduce the damage commonly associated with restless feline friends.
While many of them may look average, many of these Petlinks cat toys and scratchers come with their unique blend of catnip to help encourage exercise in your feline. HappyNip is a combination of catnip and silvervine that can be more potent and purer than other varieties—like their more standard Pure Bliss organic catnip that lacks the silvervine. You can find these proprietary blends on toys, scratchers and even paper bag caverns, as well as in traditional shredded and spray forms. All of Petlinks’ catnip has been inspected to ensure that it doesn’t contain chemicals or pesticides.

It may be that they don't like the scratching post. Cats can be picking about a lot of things, and scratching post is one of those things. Some cats like a vertical one where they can stretch out their spine fully, it should be solid and not wobbly, and some do seem to like ones that have carpet covering on it. I'd also recommend one that has levels for them to sleep on, so they can claim it as their own. The furniture they scratch one, such as your bed and sofa, they also sleep on, so they should have a scratching post that allows them to sleep on it, thus claiming it as theirs. To entice them to use it, I would try dangling a toy over it to get them interested in, and praise them and give them treats when they use it. To keep them from scratching your bed and sofa, you can get Soft Paws. These are caps that you can glue onto your cat's nails to prevent them from scratching on things. You can get them online or in pet stores, and they come in a variety of colors.

Hello, actually the more variety you give her, the more chances you will have to get her to use one or more of the scratching posts. Different substrates, sizes & dimensions are necessary. I have curved, upright & horizontal ones made of carpet, jute & sisal. Keep her nails trimmed ( just take off the sharp point ) or put on glue-on nail caps & your furniture & sanity will be preserved. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

This can be a tough problem - I can sympathize! There are a few things you can do to help. First, make sure that you are providing really good, attractive scratching posts in the areas that your cat wants to scratch - many of the small, carpet-covered ones in pet stores aren't very good. A good scratching post should be at least 3-4 feet tall so that the cat can stretch all the way out when scratching. It should also be heavy and solid - if the post feels flimsy or tips over when the cat scratches, he won't want to use it. Finally, most cats prefer rough coverings like sisal rope or something similar rather than carpet. I would try to get several really good scratching posts and ideally also a few cat trees/climbing structures so that you can have at least one in every room where Pepper spends time. To help discourage scratching on furniture and door faces, you can use double-sided scotch tape over these areas - the tape sticks to their paws when they try to scratch, so they normally c

She may prefer horizontal carpeted surfaces. You can attach carpet samples to a box or other horizontal surface, put a little catnip on there, and see if she will start scratching that surface. You can try something like Bitter Apple spray on the area where she is currently scratching to see if she will avoid that area. Also, make sure she is getting plenty of exercise inside, since she may be used to more activity when she lived outside.
