Scratching is healthy for kitties because it helps them exercise, stretch, relieve stress and boredom and mark their territory. With the Sofa-Scratcher Furniture Protector Cat Scratching Post, you can allow your feline friend to fulfill her scratching instincts while keeping your furniture protected. Simply attach the low-profile base to the contoured, sisal-covered scratch panel, slide it under the leg of your sofa to keep it in place, and watch your cat scratch away to her heart’s content!
