Hanging Cat Scratcher

Today we will be talking about hanging cat scratchers. Although it may annoy you, it is natural for your cat or kitten to want to scratch things. This is how cats sharpen and trim their nails. A cat's claws are on of its most important features, or at least this was the case when they lived in the wild. Cats use their claws for climbing, hunting and defending themselves. It is instinct that drives them to keep their claws sharp as razors, this is why, it seems that your cat is constantly scratching. For new cat owners, one of the first things that they will want to do is by several cat scratchers. There is very good reason for this, without these scratching posts, your cat may very well decide to use your furniture as their own personal nail file. It may surprise you, but those little claws can do big damage to finished wood and other furnishings. If you want to keep your cat happy and avoid having to spend thousands on new furniture every year, I would recommend that you pick up a few scratching posts as soon as possible. When shopping for cat scratchers, their seems to be quite a variety to choose from. They come in many shapes and sizes. One of the most effective scratching posts that I have come across is the hanging cat scratcher. The reason why, I personally, believe that they work so well is that they are positioned in a way that mimics what your cat would be scratching in the wild. Hanging cat scratchers are hung on a wall, low enough so that your cat can reach. For the most part, cats like to scratch objects that are positioned vertically. Perhaps this is because one of the most convenient things to scratch in the outdoors would be a tree. Although, this type of scratching post is still fairly new, you can still find a great deal of them, especially if you are shopping online. I find that shopping online for my cat supplies is much easier and provides me with much more of a selection as well as a way to easily compare prices. This also holds true with hanging cat scratchers. I have recently purchased three of these unique scratching posts and my cats seem to love them. There are even cat scratchers that can be built right into cat furniture. I was having trouble getting my kitties to use the scratchers that I had previously bought. It seems that it is true that cats really do prefer a hanging cat scratcher to any other type. I have placed them in several places around my house and this keeps my pets away from valuable furniture. I have one of these hanging in the bathroom, near their litter box, one in the living room along side my couch and one in the kitchen. As I said before, the hanging cat scratcher works great and my cats love it. If you don't already have one, I highly recommend trying one out.

Have any of you tried these scratchers out yet? If so, how do you like them. Do your cats prefer hanging cat scratchers or regular, old fashioned scratching posts. Please, feel free to share your experiences with these unique, new cat scratchers.
