What to Scratch or Not to Scratch

Cat owners know that they can’t stop their cat from scratching things in their home, but they can teach them what to scratch. Cats scratch objects in their environment to mark their territory by leaving a mark and a scent. Train your cat to use the Kitty Scratch Pole instead of your expensive floors, closet doors, and furniture. Mother Earth Products, Inc. created this product with the cat and owner in mind. This particular scratching pole is an eco-friendly alternative that is safe for your pet and does not harm the environment. The base and top are made of sustainable wood and finished in PolyWhey, a durable, non-toxic finish. The core consists of a cardboard mailing tube and cardboard discs, which can be recycled.

Our BS-24 black cylindrical rubber feet are placed on the bottom of the Kitty Scratch Pole to give it more stability and to protect your floors from any nicks or scuffs. We are excited to see our rubber bumper feet on this product, as well as other unique applications.
