Cat scratching materials

Cats need to scratch something to keep their claws sharp. Targets ranging from door frames to the ends of couches will do if nothing else is available--in my experience, cats aren't terribly fussy.

Outside, they typically scratch trees and this is why white cedar, the wood Natural Scratch is made of, works well.

Other scratching-post materials also work but the key to getting a cat to claw any post is training, especially if he or she is already clawing a surface that should be off limits.

Natural Scratch comes with a training guide that teaches owners a simple method that works very well with all cats. It does require patience and consistency. Please visit naturalscratch.com to learn more.
