Cat Scratcher

Scratching is not a behavioral problem — it’s just what cats do, and redirecting it is easier when the scratcher is in the right spot. Cardboard scratchers are low cost and get replaced regularly. Sisal posts last longer and handle cats that put real effort into it. A post needs to be tall enough for a full stretch, otherwise most cats will ignore it. Cat scratchers at Nixa Hardware & Seed Co come in both materials and orientations, horizontal and vertical, for cats with strong opinions about both.
