Cat Scratcher

How Can I Make a Cat Scratcher?

Creating a cat scratcher can be a fantastic way to give your cat a designated spot to mark their territory with their scent and pheromones. Here’s a simple guide to help you make a DIY cat scratcher at home:

Things You Will Need:

• Corrugated cardboard
• Scissors
• Non-toxic glue stick
• Rubberbands

How To:

• Cut strips from your cardboard and begin coiling them together.
• Create a cardboard spiral or square, use the glue stick and rubber bands to hold your cat scratcher together securely.
• Keep going until you create your desired shape, disc or square shape where your cat can stretch.

Tips:

• Make sure the scratcher is stable so it won’t tip over when your cat uses it.
• Regularly check the scratcher for wear and tear, replace worn cardboard when needed.
• Encourage your cat to use the scratcher by placing it near their favourite spots and by rewarding them with treats when they use it.

By providing a homemade cat scratcher, you’re not only giving your cat a place to mark their territory but also helping to keep your furniture safe from scratches. Enjoy watching your cat engage with their new scratcher!
