Shires Equine Scratcher

Product Information

Honestly I worry about one of them getting their lip caught in the carabiner; having had one of them bite me before, I know they are capable of causing harm. You may have to experiment with different types of cat scratchers and posts to see which ones your cat likes best. In an outdoor setting, claw marks let approaching cats know they're entering an area where another cat is residing. So if you can set up a sturdy self-scratching area (the edge of a barn, a designated post, a big tree) this can help prevent your fences and gates being destroyed by itchy butts, heads and necks.

Materials like jute and sisal are popular with cats, but carpet and corrugated cardboard are perennial favorites, as well. Over the 3 years that I have had them they have not broken, ripped, or shrunk from cold winter temperatures in ANY way! Cats use scratching to condition claws, and it's also an effective way for cats to stretch their backs, shoulders and muscles. Stiff brushes like this are perfect to screw into the top of a post or rail for horses to itch the underside of their jaw.

The PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge is a stylish addition to your home that blends in with the rest of your furnishings. To make a long story short, they offered to send us two Equine Scratchers that we could install and try out.
