Saki, my sister’s kitty, got a new scratching post, just like the one Andy has.
She doesn’t know what to think of it.
My sister writes: “Saki’s cactus scratching post came Saturday. If I ever have to put it together again, I won’t follow the directions. I will put the large post on before the two smaller ones. I had a heck of a time putting that one on because it was heavy for me. Saki was afraid of it and wouldn’t go near it! I finally put treats on the base and she ate them, but I don’t think she has scratched it yet! That’s my strange kitty girl! I think she will eventually realize it won’t attack her and will use it. In the meantime, it’s a nice decoration for my minimalist living room!”

I know how that goes. I get Andy a really nice cat tree for his birthday, and this still is his favorite place to sleep!
