Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2007Rebuilding a scratching post
One of the cats (Amber) had just about torn the small scratching post to shreds. Thursday I bought 65 feet of sisal and Saturday I rewound the post. It looks like brand new but so far it hasn't been used. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') One of the cats (Amber) had just about torn the small scratching post to shreds. Thursday I bought 65 feet of sisal and Saturday I rewound the post. It looks like brand new but so far it hasn't been used. ---MIKE--- Cats often prefer sisal that has been "used." Give them some time, and they will gradually start to use it again -- and you will probably find that it will get more use once it gets a little "shredded."

I used a staple to fasten it at the bottom. Then I wound it as tight as possible and used another staple at the top. I also put a dab of epoxy on the staple at the top so the sisal wouldn't slip. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') > One of the cats (Amber) had just about torn the small scratching post to > shreds.

It looks like brand new but so far it hasn't been used. Try spraying it with liquid catnip. (I found some at Christmastime that comes in a non-aerosol spray bottle.) |
