The simplest cat scratching post


Hello dear friends!
Today we will make not the simple, but the simplest scratching post from what remains after the repair.

It all started with the fact that we had a cat and it required various items, for example, a claw-tip. It is known that it costs an unpleasant 500-1000 rubles, although this is just a tightly wound rope around the board.

But even we will not do this, because in the factory conditions a special machine is engaged in this, and you will have to “pull through it one after another with“ terrible power ”and this is somehow sad. In fact, we need material that claws can easily cling to.

For this, an ordinary carpet is suitable, which may have remained after the repair.

But first things first.

We will need:
1. Materials
- plywood
- carpet
- fasteners

2. Tools
- screwdriver
- hacksaw
- drills and pitas

1 step
We find a suitable section of the wall. It is desirable that the claw point has at least two faces, so that the cat has the opportunity to grasp.

I chose a section of the wall with a u-shaped protrusion.
To calculate the height of the claw point, you need to put it next to the wall of the cat and mark it at the level of his head - this will be the lower limit.
Next, raise the cat by the front legs, so that it is fully extended and touches the lower legs of the floor. (+ 10 cm. Reserve for growth, if you still have a kitten)

Now, having learned all the sizes, mark the sides of the claw points on plywood and carpet and cut everything out.


2 step
Then we fasten the carpet to the plywood for short screws, taking into account the bending.
The heads of the screws will not be visible, and it will be very difficult to find them by touch.

3 step
We attach the scallop to the wall and fix it. You can like me, just on the screws and dowels to the wall, you can make a hanger and hang it all depends on your preferences.


That's it! The simplest claw-claw is ready, it looks, in my opinion, not very bad, and now "you can give His Majesty the cat for use."

My cat "Fedor" liked it!

Good luck

Nothing in the bottles, but in the corner of the bank ripens ...
What's in the bottle? scratch smile
Quote: Khatul Madan
... I had a cat that sharpened its claws only on the legs of one old stool, and discarded the legs like a wire brush on a grinder. ...

One to one, it sharpens in one place - there is a fence on the balcony where the wife “hides all kinds of nonsense”, so the cat mutilated the planed rail - (I was not too lazy to take and measure the bar smile ) furrows up to 6 mm deep.
Once upon a time, my grandmother spilled Valerian on a chair. The chair was coated with dermontin ... Not even dermontin, but “dyed fabric,” remember these were? ... The cat licked hard for several days. They drove. Then again licked. Rubbed his tongue to the fabric .....
What would a cat sharpen claws on a claw-tip you need several times with him
- and his paws were “sharpened” and showed with his nails, but this mixture of mei-kun and the Briton stubbornly ignores all the teachers, and in general any attempts to command him. I have the impression that I live with him, and not me.
The valerian of their wilderness! You can smear the withers with alcohol tincture, but in the morning they will ask you to pour them at least with beer. heat
need to be placed next to the cat wall
Kota - to the wall! Curious, what does the cat do with its hind legs in the last photo? xaxa A thing, of course, useful, but mine sharpen wherever they want, infections!

In order for the cat to sharpen its claws on the claw-tip, it is necessary to sharpen it several times with it (to take its paws) so that it catches a couple of times then it smells under its claws and it only grinds there.
You just need to interest the cat using natural stimulants. When we bought paper claws, then a bag was attached to them, the same one. Even if you didn’t use the bag, the place where he was lying was very interesting for the cat, and the claw-point too.
It is unlikely that he will grind there that he will like more at the moment. I had a cat that sharpened its claws only on the legs of one old stool, and discarded the legs like a wire brush on a grinder. And the current cat is tearing something that is closer to her right now, and it doesn’t matter that almost every room has a claw point.
He will figure it out.
- My son made for a cat. A cat, an infection where only the claws were not sharpened, but not on the claws.
He will figure it out. I have done similarly, only starting from the floor: they like to tear their claws, lying on the floor. )))
"You can give His Majesty the cat for use."

The only thing left is to explain to the cat what exactly it is necessary to sharpen the claws here.
