Your items will not be ruined due to scratching. Anyone who owns a kitty knows that they will find somewhere to satisfy their scratching urge. By providing them with their own special place, your items stay in better condition.

Taller on an a post. This is the material for scratching wrapped around a pole. Kitty will spend many hours keeping his or her nails trimmed on this type. Your clothing, carpeting and furniture will stay in tact longer if your home has one of these inside.

Of course physical health is also important and these items are helpful for that as well. A lazy pet will lose muscle and strength. Allowing your feline to play on these, helps to keep it in good physical health.
