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!
Love the cactus!
So does Andy! It was an instant hit with him, though his Sattle3 cousin, Saki, does like hers.
Thanks for sharing Saki with us Cousin Andy ! We hope you both get to enjoy your new furniture !
Andy definitely does! I hope Saki finds out how wonderful this scratcher is.
wavez two ewe saki cuzin oh andy ~~~~ ewe iz one gorgeouz gal…we wood knot noe what ta make oh that either….bet de box it came in waz mor fun 🙂
I’m sure the box was! Andy enjoye3d the box his scratcher came in.
It looks like a cactus with it’s arms, maybe that’s what scares Saki?
You never know with cats, but that could be.
That looks like a very nice scratching post for Saki, complete with cactus arms! Maybe some Feliway sprayed on it might help her get over the fear of it?
That probably would help. Andy has the exact same one, and he uses it all the time. It seems to be his way of sharpening his claws, of course, and tell me it’s time for kitty food!
My cats love their Scratching Posts but it is falling apart and I will need to get a new one, soon.
This particular scratching post is heavy duty and well-used by Andy. I guess he “mrows” it is a good value if the kitty uses it!
We call assembly instructions “destructions”
LOL! Exactly! I think that’s one reason I oftentimes ignore them, with peril.
that is super cool… I would like to have one too… it’s a nice thing.. but I’m afraid the boys would use it not for scratching … :PO))))
LOL! You know they would! But at least they would use it.
