    I used to think that all cats loved vertical scratching posts. Then I started fostering and found out that cats are just like people...they have their own likes and dislikes.

    Most of my fosters prefer the wicker furniture, especially the laundry hamper. This does not bother me as it doesn't really show the marks and well, the hamper is easy to replace.

    Most of them hated the cardboard, but a few loved it.

    Most of them hated the sisal rope, but a few used it.

    One cat ripped the carpeting constantly and ignored all scratching posts.

    But they all needed something.
