There are three elements to consider when choosing a scratching post: Size, features, and material.

The right size scratching post depends more on the space where you plan to put it than your cat’s size. Cat’s love being up high, and most cat trees and scratchers are designed to with sturdy bases that support a cat’s weight as they climb.

Cat trees and scratchers come in many shapes and sizes with a lot of different features. Compartments they can hide in, elements to play with, beds to sleep on, and, of course, poles to scratch on. Consider what your cat is likely to interact with and enjoy.
