What Is The Best Cat Scratching Post?

Well, in truth there is no single scratching post that would be considered the best one of all. You need to take into account a number of things when choosing or making a scratching post.

For example, how many cats will be using it … how big is the room you are going to keep it in … do you need sleeping places on the scratching post. So many things to consider.

The best scratching post will be the one that works best for your cat (cats). It should be one that they will actually use and one that they love to lounge around on. Having their own place to scratch and play will stop them from attacking your lovely furniture with their little claws.

In this page I will go over some of the options for really good and unique cat trees and also provide some links so you can go have a look at different options.

Best Medium Sized Cat Trees

A medium sized cat tree should be able to accommodate your cat when he wants to have a rest as well as when he wants to play, run, climb and scratch.

The scratching posts should be tall enough so that your cat can stretch his body out to it’s full length. this gives the best muscle stretching – which is something cats love and need.

Also think of if your cat would like to have a little enclosed box on his tree, or a hammock to snooze in (Tip: my cats seriously love a good hammock).
