Cat scratching post that lasts and lasts

One of the best things about Natural Scratch is that it lasts and lasts and keeps looking better with use. Sometimes cats scratch the post so frequently it begins to look like a beaver chewed on it. As I've mentioned many times to customers, cats whittle a sculpture over time.

Since Natural Scratch sales began back in the nineties, I've only had one customer who reported her cats had clawed it to a point where the top was threatening to topple down. Many other customers have ordered new posts short of that, but only after five or six years of daily clawing.

'Course I need to add that many posts--even Natural Scratch--will last forever because the cat or cats won't scratch them. This is why training is key..and the reason Natural Scratch comes with an easy-to-follow training guide.

Claws are another wonder of a wonderful creature

Cats are wonderful creatures with many fascinating characteristics, from their unusual vocalizations--meows and purrs--to their astonishing curiosity and penetrating eyes.

Their claws fit well the overall picture of an animal beautifully adapted to its habitat.

With domestication, however, claws have become a little inconvenient due their destructive power. But it is fairly easy to train a cat to claw an approved scratching post and to leave fine things in the home alone.

It's also a fun process for the cat and its human trainer. Find out more at naturalscrath.com.

Scratching post guarantee

Natural Scratch is guaranteed to work or you can ship it back for a refund. Very few are returned, and I believe the reason is Natural Scratch does the job for most people and cats.

It's not an automatic solution but when customers follow the easy-to-read, step-by-step instructions in the training guide, success is all but a certainty. I can say this with confidence for two reasons: 1. Years of experience; and 2. an understanding of animal behavior and, in particular, what attracts and motivates cats.

The white cedar used for the post is a great material for scratching and cats often understand this on their own and need little human involvement to begin clawing it. In addition, Natural Scratch is both rock solid and tall enough to satisfy the desire of many cats to stretch out.

Scratching solution

Natural Scratch has helped many people train their cats to scratch it exclusively and to leave other fine things in the home alone. It doesn’t happen in one day with some cats but it does with others. As I often mention to customers who contact me, the behavior cats exhibit when they encounter Natural Scratch falls neatly under a Bell Curve.

Some cats take to it immediately; others need the extra patient attention of a loving human companion. But, all can be trained.

Most cats are somewhere under the center of the Bell Curve and will take to the post fairly rapidly when owners follow the techniques that are in the training booklet. Have a look today at naturalscratch.com

Treats and training

It's amazing how susceptible cats are to food rewards. Once you identify a treat or snack your cat craves, you can train her or him to do a wide range of things.

What is key though is the "snack your cat craves" part.

Just like most humans, most cats are nuts for certain kinds of food. It can range from the many varieties of kitty treats that are available in stores to common household items such as crackers and chips.

Find the right treat and your cat companion will soon be trained to claw Natural Scratch or to do a long list of other things that will make her or him a more pleasing housemate.
