Scratching isn’t bad behaviour — it’s instinct. Cats scratch to maintain claw health, stretch, relieve stress, and mark territory. That’s why every home should have at least one dedicated scratch zone. If you're just getting started, check out our cat scratching blog or browse the full scratchers range.
FAQs About Cat Scratchers
What type of scratcher is best for my cat?
If your cat loves to stretch upward, go for a tall post or tower like the Smartcat Ultimate. For cats who scratch while lying down, choose a horizontal or angled scratcher.
How many scratchers should I have?
Ideally, one scratcher per cat — placed in different high-traffic areas around your home. Variety helps prevent boredom and misdirected scratching.
Do cats outgrow scratching?
No. Scratching is a lifelong behaviour. Even senior cats benefit from scratchers to keep their muscles and claws healthy.
How do I get my cat to use their scratcher?
Use catnip or place the scratcher near their favourite nap spot or scratching area. Redirect scratching from furniture by rewarding use of the new scratcher.
What if my cat scratches furniture anyway?
Try training aids like Sticky Paws or use scent deterrents. Consistency is key — reward correct behaviour and block access to old scratching zones.
