Felicity Interacting with Natural Scratch

One of my many kind customers recently sent this photo of her cat Felicity interacting with Natural Scratch.  One of Felicity's paws is in the Mouse Hole, which is located just below the top of the post.  I advise people to put treats and catnip in the hole to encourage their felines to interact with Natural Scratch. 

Once a cat is interacting with the post, it's just a matter of time before scratching, which can be reinforced with praise and kitty treats, will occur.  

The Mouse Hole and Antenna--the stretchy string toy above Felicity's ear--and the training booklet are among the reasons I often refer to Natural Scratch as a "system."  It's much more than a scratching post, and everything about it is designed to help you redirect your cat's clawing to an approved target.
