Cats love to scratch.They scratch for many reasons: to remove the dead outer layer of their claws, to mark their territory by leaving both a visual mark and a scent (they have scent glands on their paws), and to stretch their bodies and flex. It is an important part of their nature and they will need to scratch! A scratch post will most certainly prevent your sofa, curtains – and even your wallpaper – from a life of certain shredding! Nowadays cat scratching posts are not just a simple tube on a stand, but fun play jungles or ‘activity centres’ where they can scratch galore and leave the rest of your house free from their pesky paws! Here are 3 of the best, most exciting scratch posts out there to keep claws away from carpets and t provide a playground for fun and health:
