I just wanted to thank all of you who helped me by giving me advice on scratch posts. I got a cat tower with 2 steps for her to sit/lay on, a large, heavy base, 2 tassles haning from the top, a little ball inside 3 wooden "sticks" (so she can move it but not get it out) and the main post is a scratch post. It is tall enough that she can stretch out and scratch (for now). They dont seem to make very tall ones at the pet stores around here. Have any of you noiced that? If they are really tall the posts are carpeted and she doesnt like to scratch the carpet.
