My cat loves scratching raw wood so this was perfect. Would recommend
Well what's to say, my cat seems horrified from it she wont even go near it. I feel like i need to put rope around it and then maybe she will go near it. I should've just bought one with rope... now i will have to spend more money 💰
Hi Christine:
Sorry to hear you kitty is not liking her post. Did you follow all the tips for use you received? If not that's an issue.
Tips for use:
Kitties have scent glands in their paws. Getting your kitty’s scent on the tree is the key to successful lifetime use.
• Liquid spray on cat nip.
• Get involved. Place your tree close to where they’ve been scratching, not stuffed in a corner.
• Participate in making it a play toy, a new game encouraging your kitty to climb up the tree to the top. Red laser pointers are excellent for this.
• A toy tied to a string on the end of long pole or fishing pole taunting your kitty to jump up on the tree.
• Rubbing a toy of theirs, a blanket or bedding to get their scent on the tree.
• Take the unattached tree outside and roll it around on the grass. (If your grass is chemical free) outdoor smells smells are the best.
Getting their own scent on the tree is most important for years of healthy scratching.
Kind Regards,
Shoo-Kitty
Getting ready to order another one! After years of using a particle board in our garage, our cat lost his favorite place to scratch when we moved. He doesn't like cardboard or sisal - he had started to use the door frames! This is the answer for him.
For me, it took months for the cats to notice it as a viable scratching post, then when it's new they can't get their claws into it so it's not good for scratching. But once it gets worn and they can get their claws into it, they noticed it as the best surface to scratch in the entire house. No more couch etc. I still think although you should keep a softer scratching post for when the cats just want to dig their claws into something. This wood post is when they actually want to grind down and turnover new claws
My woods-rescue kitty gave up her freedom a year ago when I moved into an apartment. She grew up with squirrels and loves to climb. Now she has an opportunity to do so thanks to this sturdy cat post. While she rarely uses it for scratching (she might if it had natural bark still on it but that would be too messy for many people I suppose), she uses it daily for climbing (to get treats at the top, of course!) Glad I purchased it for her health and happiness.
