Scratchers

Scratching is a normal feline behavior used for stretching, claw maintenance and scent marking. Bigeeo cat scratchers include vertical, horizontal, wall-mounted and floor designs made for different spaces and scratching preferences. Some cats reach upward, while others scratch flat surfaces or alternate between both.

Watch the surfaces your cat already chooses before deciding on orientation and material. A scratcher should remain stable during use and be long enough for a comfortable stretch. Place it close to a favorite resting area or beside a surface your cat currently scratches. Reward investigation and use; avoid forcing paws onto the surface. In multi-cat homes, several scratchers in different locations can reduce competition and give each cat easier access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose a vertical or horizontal scratcher?

Match the orientation to your cat’s current behavior. Cats that reach up may prefer vertical designs, while floor scratchers suit cats that scratch flat surfaces.

Where should a scratcher be placed?

Try a location near a sleeping area, doorway or existing scratching spot, and make sure the product is stable during use.

How many scratchers does a multi-cat home need?

Provide multiple scratching locations so cats do not have to compete for one resource and can choose different surfaces or orientations.
