Wooden scratching posts

long_b · 2007-11-03 12:58:44

I'm looking to get in wooden scratching posts for our cattery. We need them to be all wood, not the kind with the sisal rope wrapped around cardboard. Does anyone know where I might buy these, or even know anyone who might be willing to make them ? Thanks !

According to our cats, any old chair leg will do

If i were you I'd make them myself. Some cheap square posts, some MDF as a base and a sturdy screw ..done

Just make one yourself as mentioned above, save you a whole lot of money too. We made ones just wooden, others with rope and one or two with some carpet tacked around the post. Easy peasy.

Agreed .. our cats devoutly ignore anything resembling a 'proper' cat scratching post and much prefer garden furniture or the outside of my shed. I reckon just pieces of 2x4 about 18" long nailed or screwed to a wall would do the trick quite nicely.
