I bought Poppy The Ultimate Cat Scratching Post but he ignores it. I bought him the cardboard in a box scratcher and he barely touches it. I bought him carpeted cat trees and he scratches them like crazy.
He has tried to scratch at my couch but I covered it with a blanket. He has tried to scracth one of my accent chairs and I had to cover it with a blanket and even staple the blanket to the bottom of it because he was getting under the blanket and scratching it. He sometimes scratches at my new berber carpet.
I've come to the conclusion that he likes the softer textures, like carpet. Maybe his paw pads are a little sensitive.
So, I have decided to cover The Ultimate Cat Scratching Post with berber carpet and I might get a few more (smaller) carpeted cat trees. Hopefully that works cuz I really want to uncover my furniture. I hate having blankets over them.
He's 7 months old now. Is that still too young to introduce catnip? Like rubbing it on the scratching posts and cat trees.
