Cat Scratcher/Lounger

[happylabs]

No matter which style you have, you must regularly rub catnip on it to entice them to it!

I have several in different rooms. Different cats seem to prefer different textures - sisal, carpet, cardboard, upright, slanted, the list goes on and on.

And to stop them using the furniture, get a squirt bottle, mix equal amounts of white vinegar and water, spray that on the furniture. This repels them, they don't like the odor, and it is mild enough we don't smell it at all. But sure to rub in catnip at the same time you spray!!!!

I don't have to put catnip on the cardboard one for Mama. She religiously scratches it every time she comes into the living room. I tried putting catnip on the Emery Cat. They apparently just do not like the feel of it.

I doubt the vinegar would deter Buddy. He has been doing this for 6 years. Conveniently he only scratches the back of one of my chairs in the living room which you cannot see. where he does it and I just keep pushing the stuffing back in.

Hmmmm...that is an interesting question. I think I will check when I go home.

This looks great and some of my cats would probably love it. Both Ziggy and Sky still love to scratch my carpet so they like to scratch horitzontally. I'll have to check this out. I just realized that it's made out of cardboard. My problem is that Alani loves to shred cardboard. I guess I'd have to try a very cheap one first to see if it could stand up to the Alani test.
