Scratching Posts

Cats scratch to keep their claws sharp, but also to remove the outer, dead layer of the claw. Once this layer is shed, a new, sharp claw emerges. In addition, scratching allows cats to stretch their bodies and release excess energy. A scratching post is not only effective, but also provides lots of fun for cats!

A scratching post for your cat

At Vetsend, you’ll find a wide range of scratching posts and scratch boards to help your cat maintain their claws. There are many types available made of rope, wood, natural materials, tree trunk styles, or even simple cardboard. They also come in different sizes: tall scratching posts, small ones, and ones designed for kittens. You can make a scratch board more attractive by sprinkling some catnip on it, helping to clearly show your feline where it’s allowed to scratch. To ensure your cat can scratch and climb safely, it’s wise to choose a sturdy scratching post.
