I purchased a $50 huge cardboard horizontal scratcher for my 2 kitties, and will they use it? No. They will stand on it, they will lay on it but they will not use it to scratch on.
They also seem to have some aversion to sisal. I bought them a tall cat tree with sisal posts. They grab the sisal to climb up, but they don't seem to want to scratch on the sisal.
They love the vertical carpeted scratching post or--and I hate this one--the horizontal living room 8x10 rug in my living room which I don't want them to scratch at all. I come home with all kinds of fuzz they have pulled up from the carpet rug and...well, am not happy.
Yes, I understand there are vertical and horizontal scratchers now, and assume my 2 are vertical scratchers.
But--and here is my question--is sisal too rough for the paws of some cats????
