SmartyKat Scratch Scroll Sisal & Carpet Curled Cat Scratcher for Indoor Cats & Kittens, Features Feather Toy for Play, Looped Carpet Material, Gray

My "nephew" Pete was climbing and scratching my sisters front porch decorative tree, and I said I know what he needs! His "cousins" have 1 and love it! Pete lives outside, but stays on the porch except to do his "business". He doesn't go climb trees etc even tho he has free range! My 2 cats are inside, so they have a standing scratching post and then one like this. And they only want the one like this one! They play on it as well. Climbing under it etc. Pete instantly knew what his board was for, and has left the decorative tree alone :) Don't worry about Pete being outside. They rescued him on a deserted stretch of a highway as a kitten, was going to rehome him since they don't do inside animals, but Pete claimed them as his own, and they loved him right back!! He has a nice house and enjoys rocking in the porch rocking chair, and in the cold weather, he has a heating pad in his house and if it goes off, he knocks at the front door and someone gets up to turn it on (even at night) . Yes, he actually knocks at the door to get them to turn his heating pad turned on :) Now pete has his own board. This board is well made. Seems a little pricey, but Petes happiness and saving my sisters tree was worth every penny!!
