This scratching post allows cats to stretch, exercise and tone their back and shoulder muscles. Cats love Cozy Pet cat trees; the tall fun Posts keep their claws in top condition, which helps protect your home furnishings! The tubes are wrapped with fabric ropes for your pets to scratch and play with. The sturdy base prevents any swaying so it is safe on any flat surface, preventing you from worrying about injury to your cat; the stylish cat tree will blend in with your decor. Cats love to climb and are always on the lookout for the perfect safe and secure spot to sit and wait for the opportunity to pounce. Playtime keeps things interesting, preventing boredom whilst helping to relieve stress and frustration (and it provides the perfect opportunity for your cat to practice their natural hunting skills). Cats also naturally scratch objects in their environment, which is important for their claw maintenance (scratching removes the dead outer layer of claws, helping to keep them clean and sharp) and also for marking their territory.
