Keeping your furry friends clean and properly groomed is critical to ensuring they are as healthy and happy as they can be. Besides getting the best possible shampoo and clippers to groom your cat, it's recommended that they independently keep their nails trimmed and neat. Cardboard cat scratchers are a great, simple solution to maintaining healthy nails while promoting positive scratching habits to leave your furniture in the best possible condition.
A lovely modern option is the Amznova Scratching Pad. Its slim design can match well inside contemporary homes and will help incentivize your cat to leave your precious furniture alone. If you're looking for a larger model, the PetFusion Jumbo Scratcher Lounge is capable of accomodating a couple of your furry friends while creating a more pleasing look inside your home compared to other flashy designs.
If your pets enjoy stretching while scratching, the GoPets Premium Scratcher and the Petmate Scratch 'n Play are great angeled options that feature fun, colorful designs, and catnip to help entice your felines to its cardboard construction.
The cardboard used in any of these models will eventually come loose as your cat scratches the material off. It is possible for your pet to eat the scraps, especially if they have feline pica, the urge to eat uncommon items. Large consumption of paper and other loose material can possibly cause health complications in the future. If your cat is susceptible to eating uncommon items, it's recommended to look into scratching posts that are made of a different material, such as carpet, that will not produce loose material as easily over time.
