Natural Scratch cedar posts are 32" tall and 4" x 4" wide. They are made from Northern Wisconsin, rough-sawn, solid white cedar and offer coarse but soft textures cats like to dig their claws into.
The rough-side-up, white cedar, X-style base is equivalent to a solid 32" x 32" square—large enough to provide a stable foundation for aggressive clawing by all cats, even large Maine Coons. (Wobbly posts are a feline turn-off!) Soft, but rough surfaces invite clawing vertically and horizontally.
Features such as the bungee-cord Antenna and 1.5"-diameter Mouse Hole help people interest their cats in Natural Scratch and get them clawing where they should. The free, easy-to-read-and-use booklet Training Your Cat To Claw Natural Scratch teaches customers how to train cats to claw Natural Scratch exclusively and includes tips on how to discourage inappropriate scratching. Many cats take to Natural Scratch immediately; others will need more coaxing. The behavior modification training method accompanying Natural Scratch works with every cat.
Solid cedar materials last many years; over time, cats whittle Natural Scratch into a sculpture. Guaranteed.
