In addition, it can exercise and stretch its muscles, especially when the cat wakes up, friction is also a way to mark the territory. There are many complex scratching posts on the market, Including branches shaped covered with leaves, pagoda shapes, and tubular shapes. Some are quite expensive. If the scratching post is not thick enough, the cat will be reluctant to use it. It can also be replaced by round logs of appropriate size. The soft and moist skin prevents the claws from breaking.
