The instinct to scratch is hard-wired into cats. Cats scratch to mark territory, promote healthy nail growth, tone muscles, and to help alleviate stress. Figuring out your cat's preferred scratching surface can feel like guesswork. Our scratchers come in a variety of surfaces and angles to please the most finicky cats and meet their need to scratch. SmartyKat Scratch 'N Spin Scratching Post provides a carpet scratch surface with enough resistance for cats to really dig in for a satisfying scratch session, helping to redirect your cat’s scratching away from furnishings. This post scratcher is topped with two feathery ribbon wands that spin freely with each swat of the paw, attracting your cat to scratch and play! Wands are replaceable for longer lasting fun. SmartyKat toys, beds and scratchers are designed to meet the needs of your cat: Exercise, Hunt, Stimulation, Interaction, Scratch and Comfort without forgetting about FUN! Kids and pets often share the same space in the home and will have access to each other’s toys. That is why we design products to meet child safety standards; ensuring kids in the home are safe, whether they are two-footed or four-pawed! We utilize recycled and sustainable materials wherever possible. Please read all packaging instructions, warnings and cautions upon receipt. Packaging may contain small parts, discard after opening.
