🐾 Why Design Matters (Even for Cats)

Cats scratch by instinct:

• • 🔸 They mark the territory
  • 🔸 They exercise
  • 🔸 They release stress
    A well-designed cat scratching post is not an optional extra: it is a ethological need . The difference? Today you can satisfy it in style.

✨ 5 Characteristics of a Chic Scratching Post

1. Premium Materials

• • Solid wood (no chipboard)
  • Natural sisal (durable and biodegradable)
  • Tech fabrics (scratch-resistant and washable)
    Example: Oak models with marble effect base.

1. Designer Shapes

• ▶️ Vertical sculptures : asymmetrical columns for modern spaces
• 🔷 Modular geometries : modular cubes for small spaces
• 🌿 Organic designs : structures that imitate tree trunks

1. Integrated Functions

• • Hanging kennels
  • Tunnel for hiding places
  • "Path" shelves for walls

🏠 How to Integrate It into Home Decor: 3 Golden Rules

1. The "Focal Point" Rule
   Place it where the cat already likes to be (not in a dark corner!). Pro-tip:
2. "Place it next to a bookcase or sofa: it will become part of the composition"

2. Coordinate Fabrics and Textures

• If you have a linen pouf, choose a cat tree with raw linen details
• In homes with warm floors, combine woods of similar shades

3. Strategic Lighting
Point spotlights at sculptural models: they create shadow plays and attract the cat!

❌ Mistakes to Avoid

• Getting the height wrong : It should be 1.5x the length of the cat when lying down
• Ignore stability : Heavy base ≥ 30% of total height
• Toxic materials : No vinyl glues (look for OEKO-TEX® certificates)

💡 3 Tips to Make Your Cat Fall in Love with Their New Scratching Post

• Get familiar with the smell : Rub it with a blanket used by the cat
• Activate pheromones : Catnip spray or Feliway®
• Create a Path : Place snacks on shelves to encourage exploration.
