Sisal rope has a wide variety of uses, and fairly recently it has been found to be an ideal material for scratching posts. Sisal seems to have just the right consistency for this use – a combination of sturdiness while still having the ability stretch a little bit. This seems to be what cats like.

If you have a problem with your cat scratching your furniture like it’s their own scratching post, then you have a few options: One is to have your cat declawed, but many are reluctant to do that. The second is to try and dissuade your cat from scratching your furniture by using a water bottle that squirts out water. After a period of time this may work but it’s not %100 guaranteed. The third option is to buy a sisal fabric scratching post like the brand PurrFect Post, which apparently cats seem to favor over other fabric posts and furniture. Personally, I would go with option three, but that’s just me.
