Cat Scratchers & Scratching Posts

Cat Scratchers & Scratching Posts for Happy, Healthy Cats 

Scratching is a natural behavior for cats, and providing a dedicated cat scratcher helps satisfy this instinct while protecting your furniture. At PetSmart, we offer a wide selection of cat scratchers, including cat scratching posts, scratch pads, and cat towers that keep your feline entertained while promoting healthy scratching habits. Whether your cat loves to stretch and scratch on a tall cat post or prefers lounging on a cat condo with built-in scratch surfaces, you’ll find the perfect solution to keep their claws active and your home scratch-free. 

Choosing the Best Cat Scratcher for Your Feline 

A cat’s scratching needs vary based on their size, personality, and activity level. Some prefer a vertical cat scratching post, which allows them to stretch and exercise their muscles. Others enjoy a horizontal cat scratch pad, ideal for cats that love to knead or lie down while they scratch. For kittens, a kitten scratching post is essential to help them develop good scratching habits early on. If your cat loves to climb and perch, a multi-level cat tower or cat tree tower with built-in scratching areas offers both entertainment and exercise. 
Cat scratch poles and posts come in different materials, including durable sisal rope, carpeted surfaces, and corrugated cardboard. Each texture provides a unique scratching experience, helping cats naturally shed old claw layers while keeping their nails strong and healthy. Whether you choose a freestanding scratch post for a kitten or a full-sized cat condo with multiple scratch surfaces, PetSmart has the ideal option to match your pet’s needs. 
Shop online for same-day delivery, curbside pickup, or set up Autoship to keep your cat’s scratchers fresh and exciting. 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

Are cat scratchers good for cats?  Yes! Cat scratchers are essential for maintaining claw health, relieving stress, and satisfying a cat’s natural urge to scratch. They also help prevent furniture damage by redirecting scratching behavior. 
What attracts cats to scratching posts?  Cats are naturally drawn to scratching posts made of materials like sisal rope, carpet, or cardboard. Adding catnip or placing the scratcher in a favorite spot can encourage use. 
Do scratching posts hurt cats?  Not at all! Scratching posts are designed to help cats maintain their claws by shedding dead layers, preventing overgrowth, and promoting natural behaviors. 
Why do cats like scratch pads?  Scratch pads offer a satisfying texture that allows cats to stretch, dig their claws in, and mark their territory. Many cats prefer horizontal scratch pads for a more relaxed scratching experience. 
Do scratch pads trim cat nails?  Scratching helps wear down the outer layers of a cat’s claws, keeping them sharp and healthy. However, regular nail trimming may still be needed for some cats.
