How Do You Make Cat Scratching Posts?
Cats love to scratch. Scratching is instinctive and part of their natural behavior. Cats scratch to mark their territory, to keep their claws sharp, and just because it feels good. And they tend to scratch where ever it pleases them – sofas, chairs, doors and woodwork. Since you can’t stop a cat from scratching, provide cat scratching posts for them to use. Save your furniture and woodwork with cat scratching posts that are inexpensive and easy to make. Constructed from recycled pine and cedar boards, this scratching post features a top compartment to fill with catnip. When one corner or side gets torn and shredded, simply turn the post around to expose a fresh edge. After the wood is worn out, the cat scratching posts are easy and inexpensive to replace. Build several for different areas of your home and let your kitty scratch away!
