Buying the Best Scratching Post For Your Cat

Buying the best scratching for your post is easy, as long as you know some tips.

You may be wondering… Who sells quality posts? What is the price range? Where is the best store? How big should it be?

There are plenty of scratching posts in stock in every pet supply store and even some commercial retail stores.

However, there are some “tricks of the trade,” you might call them, to know about before going out and buying just any scratching post. We want to keep our feline friends as happy as we can right?

A cat-friendly post should be:

* As high as your cat can reach, about 25-35″ tall (63.5-88.9 cm)
* Should be wrapped in sisal rope (not carpet)
* Resting on a very sturdy and strong base (make sure the post can stand up to your cat’s wrath)
* This is extra, but it can also have some sort of perch on top (your cat will enjoy surveying his/her kingdom)

This little checklist is helpful to ensure that your cat will spend many months enjoying their new toy.
