Did you know? Cats have scent glands in their paws, and scratching surfaces helps them mark their territory! 🐱🖐️

Providing scratching posts not only saves your furniture but keeps your kitty's claws healthy and their instincts satisfied.😸💕

Along with posts, try offering horizontal scratch pads and wall-mounted scratchers to diversify their scratching experience. You can even place them near your cat's favorite spots to ensure they're always within reach.🐈

Support your cat's natural instincts by offering a variety of scratching options! 🌿🐾
