Thread: Scratching post

Oh dizdesigns thats a new one kitten thats going to be an inside car....luv it...someone who can be as bad as me,I very often look back on posts & cringe at spelling etc.... but all good fun......
Like all breeds they differ,some don't bother about furniture at all & others can be a nightmare.....one very good reason for upending babe from the start & get it used to having its nails clipped,mine get done monthly {got into that habit with the show cats} if for any reason I leave them a couple of weeks longer they have talons,not good for playtime as well as furniture....
There are lots of scratching posts out there & in the past I have had what seemed like good hard wearing ones but they have never lasted as long as I would have liked,with a few cats in our house & very often all flying at the tree together we splashed out on a Tigga Tower,brilliant,pricey but was designed by a maine coon owner so knows exactly what is wanted & what it has to contend with,you can start off with the besics & as you can afford it build it up,the beds are easy to keep clean & wash forever,the original ones that were on the tree are out in the cats pen now still as good as new as is the whole tower,just trying to work out how long it has been here but at the moment can't,just know it was more than worth the money spent & wish we had gone for it a lot sooner...... Whatever you buy steer clear of the ones that have toys attached by elastic in fact steer clear of elastic toys altogether unless you are in the same room,have seen an adult MC nearly strangled by it......
Oh boy my posts always seem to give out doom & gloom but a lot of it comes from having worked at a vets for 40 years you see these freak things & try to avoid with your own but having said that have had some scarey times with mine too,oh boy....xxx
