Solutions for Kenyan cats not using scratching posts

1. Prepare a scratching post and place it in a place where they often move.

2. It is best to prepare more than one cat scratching post, because one should be placed (next to) where you sleep.

3. A grab board that is easy to fall down is useless. It is better to fix it on the wall.

4. The best size of the cat scratching board is about 15-20 cm wide and 30-40 cm long.

5. The cat scratching post should either be placed flat on the ground, or placed vertically on the wall.

6. The vertical cat scratching board should be about 30 cm from the ground. It can be adjusted according to the growth and size of the cat.

7. The material of the cat scratching board is preferably softwood, such as pine, cedar, and redwood. It is best to wrap hemp rope around the outside.

8. When the cat starts to use it regularly, you can’t move the scratching post to the place you want until it is used regularly.

9. If your cat really doesn’t like using scratching posts, you can try using wood instead of scratching posts.

10. Place a fluffy toy on the top of the scratching board and hang it with a rope, because the shaking toys can attract cats to play, so the cat will slowly fall in love with the scratching board.

11. Moving the cat’s claws to the furniture it likes to scratch can reduce the risk of the cat scratching the furniture.

12. Making the edges of the cat scratching post velvet can increase the cat’s desire to scratch.
