Cat Sctraching Post for the floor

sugarmuffin

Hi everyone, any ideas where I can buy a HEAVY DUTY scratching thing that sits flat on the floor (not a stand up one, and not an activity centre). My cat is very heavy handed and shreds the carpet ones within days so I need a hessian one. Can't find one anywhere! Thanks, Vanessa.

i would have thought coconut mat would be ideal

however if there like my cats they will deliberately ignore everything you buy them and go for the leather sofa ....

Don't know if the pets at home one is any good to you, It's corrigated cardboard in a shallow cardboard box, cost a fiver and I didn't think it would last very long but it has, the cardboard is very tightly packed so takes a lot to scratch a bit off. It lies flat on the floor and the only scratching post my cat will use!

Just found this one - will try it seeing as it's only a fiver! let's see how long it takes before he destroys it! ....
