Plush monster vs. scratching paradise

What should a scratching post actually be able to do? We'll show you and help you choose the right cat tree for your cat. It's actually quite simple - and a cat tree doesn't really need many features - but the few that it does need are essential.

Summarized pictorially

A scratching post must meet the following requirements:

• Removable and washable crib
• Well-fixed sisal carpet as an additional scratching and climbing opportunity
• Removable and washable crib
• Removable and washable hammocks
• Long sisal trunk for comfortable stretching, with a minimum diameter of 12 cm, made of solid wood or very thick cardboard
• Sturdy and treated solid wood base, easy to clean

How many times have you had to replace your scratching posts at home because the sisal was worn through and the trunks were wearing out? Or «plush parts» were no longer nice because every now and then a little mishap happened when your cats didn't like their lunch and unfortunately they weren't removable/washable? That's over now! If you take a look at this checklist, you will look at cat trees with completely different eyes in future - because very few brands have these few points. ?
