Why do cats need a scratcher?
Scratching is part of a cat’s natural behavior, not a bad habit. It helps them:
-
Sharpen claws & remove dead layers
-
Stretch muscles & maintain flexibility
-
Mark territory with scent glands
-
Relieve stress or boredom
👉 Without a proper scratcher, cats often turn to sofas, carpets, or wooden furniture — that’s why providing one is a must for every cat household.
Types of cat scratchers
Choosing the right one depends on your cat’s personality and your home space.
Here are the most common styles:
| Type | Description | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Vertical post | Upright cylinder covered with sisal rope | Cats that like to stretch tall |
| Horizontal board | Flat scratch pad made of corrugated cardboard | Kittens or cats that scratch while lying |
| Inclined scratcher | Tilted cardboard ramp or wood board | Active, playful cats |
| Cat tree with scratchers | Multi-level tower combining bed & post | Multi-cat homes |
| Wall-mounted scratcher | Saves space, blends with furniture | Small apartments |
Pro tip: Mix at least two types to keep your cat interested and prevent boredom.
Material matters: what’s best?
-
Sisal rope or fabric: Strong, durable, satisfying texture.
-
Corrugated cardboard: Lightweight, inexpensive, replaceable.
-
Natural wood or bamboo: Eco-friendly and stable base.
-
Carpet fabric: Soft surface but less durable over time.
For export-standard products, THグローバルベトナム uses eco-safe materials such as bamboo, natural sisal fiber, and recycled cardboard — ensuring safety for pets and sustainability for the planet.
How to place your cat scratcher
-
Near favorite spots: Cats scratch after sleeping or eating.
-
By furniture corners: Redirects scratching away from sofas.
-
Stable surface: Avoid wobbling; cats hate unstable scratchers.
-
Visible location: Cats prefer open areas where they feel safe.
💡 If your cat ignores the scratcher, sprinkle catnip powder or rub with your cat’s paw scent to attract attention.
Maintenance and hygiene
-
Remove shredded pieces weekly.
-
Replace cardboard pads every 2–3 months.
-
Clean wood/bamboo parts with a damp cloth (avoid soaking).
-
Rotate position occasionally to keep the experience new.
Keeping the scratcher clean helps prevent bacteria buildup and extends product lifespan.
