Invest in a Scratching Post and Learn to Maintain It
Cats naturally need to scratch, which can often lead to damaged furniture like couches and pillows. Investing in a scratching post can help satisfy this urge in a productive way. Additionally, knowing how to maintain the post is crucial. When the post wears out, you can extend its life by rewrapping it with twine, allowing your cat to continue using it without damaging your home furnishings.
The twine has a similar texture to the fabric typically found on scratching posts, so it’s an effective material for repairs. By wrapping the worn-down post with twine, your cat will be encouraged to continue using the post rather than turning to your furniture, keeping their scratching habits appropriately directed.
