Cat Scratching Posts & Toys — Protect Furniture, Satisfy Instincts

Scratching isn’t “naughty” — it’s how cats stretch, sharpen, de-stress and scent-mark. This collection is curated by Canine & Co to give your cat better places to scratch, climb and lounge, with sturdy builds and engaging textures that win their attention (and save your sofa).

What you’ll find

• Vertical posts & trees: Stable bases, tall scratch zones and perch tops for lookout naps.
• Horizontal & incline boards: Floor-friendly options for cats who prefer low, forward stretches.
• Cardboard lounges: Corrugated curves for scratch + snooze in one spot; many with reversible inserts.
• Wall & corner scratchers: Space-saving panels that protect high-traffic edges.
• Interactive toys: Track balls, danglers and teaser add-ons that pair play with healthy claw use.

Pick by cat style

• Climbers: Choose multi-level trees with sisal-wrapped poles and secure wall tethers.
• Loungers: Go for cardboard lounges or wide, low ramps.
• Kittens & seniors: Lower platforms, soft landings and mixed textures for easy access.
• Multi-cat homes: Provide one post per cat + one extra to reduce competition.
• Small spaces: Corner or wall-mounted panels; slim posts with heavy bases.

Placement & training tips

• Place scratchers where your cat already scratches: near sofas, doorways and nap spots.
• Make it inviting: add catnip/silvervine; play a wand toy over the surface; reward immediately.
• Protect furniture while training with temporary guards and redirect to the post.
• Wobble = no interest. Tighten hardware and ensure a solid, non-slip base.

Materials that work

• Sisal rope & fabric: Durable, satisfying bite and pull.
• Corrugated cardboard: Irresistible texture; flip/replace inserts to extend life.
• Carpet & wood: Mix textures to keep engagement high.
