Scratching Posts
My cats share a scratching post that is going on 6 years. They have enjoyed
it for years but they have had the expected effect on the carpeting. If anybody knows of sites showing on how to recover in carpet or replacing / wrapping the uprights in rope/cord would they post them. Sites that offer cat tree/condos would also be looked at. Certainly they could use something taller, after all the current height is only 2+ feet which was great for them as kittens for play and scratching but now it looks a bit strange when they scratch and stretch now although they seem to enjoy semi-horizontal stretching.

Do you have a Petco? Our petco here has very nice, inexpensive cat trees.
I'm really suprised at the durability and attractiveness of it. It is usually Green duck or North American Pet. Really, more expensive than doing it yourself but quick easy, durable and not anywhere as expensive as most premade cat furniture. Karen "Larry Osborne" wrote in message ...

taller, after all the current height is only 2+ feet which was great for them as kittens for play and scratching but now it looks a bit strange when they scratch and stretch now although they seem to enjoy semi-horizontal stretching. Larry Osborne They have scratchy tee-pees that are semihorizontal. Below is one. I have one that looks just like a tee-pee with solid sides. I have to put a weight on the bottom to keep it from tipping over. I also wedged it under the armoir. I have another scratchy tree next to the couch. I just put one end of the couch on the base of the scratchy tree to keep it from going over http://www.catmancatfurniture.com/page8.htm
