It’s no secret that cats like to sharpen their claws. The trouble is finding something that your cat actually likes to scratch so he’ll leave your furniture alone! Here are some of the best scratching surfaces for cats.

Many cats love scratching carpet, which is why cat trees that are covered in carpeting are so popular! You can also purchase single scratching posts that are covered in carpet.

If carpet really isn’t your cat’s thing, try a natural material, like twine. For some cats, it feels a bit more like they’re out in nature sharpening their claws on a tree.

Corrugated cardboard and emery boards are also popular with cats. Felines love tearing them to shreds! They’re also a good option for cats that like to sharpen their claws horizontally instead of vertically.
