Frequently Asked Questions
Why do cats need a scratching post?
Scratching keeps claws healthy, stretches muscles and leaves scent marks. A post gives your cat an approved place to do it instead of your furniture.
Where should I place a cat tree?
Place it near a window or in a room where the family spends time. Cats like to scratch near sleeping spots and entrances.
How do I encourage my cat to use a scratching post?
Rub catnip on it, place treats on the platforms and play with toys around it. Praise your cat when they use it.
Single post or multi-level tree?
A single scratcher suits small spaces, while a multi-level tree adds climbing, lookouts and nests for active or multi-cat homes.

Cat Trees and Scratching Posts: Climb, Scratch, Play and Rest
Scratching is a completely natural and healthy behaviour for cats. It removes the outer layer of the claws, stretches the muscles of the back, shoulders and legs, and leaves scent marks that tell other cats ‘this is my territory’. If your cat does not have an appropriate place to scratch, it will choose your sofa, carpet or doorframes instead. Cat trees and scratching posts give your cat the outlet it needs, while adding climbing, lookout and resting spaces that make your home more cat-friendly.
Multi-Level and Two-Level Cat Trees
Our Cat Multi Level Nest Tree and Scratch Post and Cat Two Level Nest Tree and Scratch Post combine scratching posts with cosy nests and perches. Cats can climb, scratch, nap and watch the room from above, which is especially valuable for indoor cats and multi-cat homes where vertical space helps reduce tension.
Igloo Nests with Scratching Posts
For cats that love to hide, the Cat Igloo Giraffe Nest and Scratch Post and the Cat Igloo Bed with String Cat Toy pair an enclosed den with scratching surfaces and play, all in a compact footprint.
Interactive Scratchers and Scratch Toys
If space is limited, our interactive scratchers are an ideal choice. The Interactive Wooden Cat Scratching and Play Toy, Interactive Cardboard Cat Scratcher and Toy, Cat Scratching Toy, Cat Scratcher and Interactive Spring Ball Toy, Interactive Spring Cat Toy, Interactive Cat Play Toy with Sound and Touch-Sensitive Interactive Cat Toys combine scratching with movement and sound to keep cats engaged.
How to Choose a Cat Tree or Scratching Post
- Space: multi-level trees suit larger rooms; compact scratchers suit flats.
- Stability: the post should not wobble when your cat stretches and scratches.
- Height: your cat should be able to stretch fully when scratching.
- Features: nests, igloos and hanging toys add value for cats that like to rest and play in the same place.
- Number: offer at least one scratcher per cat, plus one extra, in different rooms.
How to Encourage Your Cat to Use It
- Place the scratcher near where your cat sleeps or next to the furniture it currently scratches.
- Rub a little catnip on the post or place treats on the platforms.
- Use wand toys to lure your cat up and around the tree.
- Praise and reward your cat every time it uses the scratcher.
- Never force your cat’s paws onto the post; let it discover it naturally.
