Please do.My de clawed Norwegian Forest Cat attacks one of the communal scratching posts when I sprinkle fresh catnip just like the other five.
I would get one of those corrugated cardboard scratching posts.I just got through checking with my six and three fosters.I get a 36 paws up for the post I just recommended.
I’m in animal rescue and like you,do not believe in de clawing. Oh,mine likes to work her front paws into my chest and stomach so she has two scratching posts.Thank you for taking her in.
Yes. They still have the instinct to scratch.
I have one cat that’s declawed. She kneads and tries to scratch. She uses the scratching posts we have.
no, but you shouldnt declaw cats, they need to make that stretching position when they scratch on things, plus its just unnatural.
Yes. Cats will love them even though they are declawed. THey like to THINK they still have claws lol
Yes kats still sould have a scratching post, cuz its in their nature.
I agree with the other answerers. My one declawed cat uses the scratching posts. Her paws just slides on it though but she loves it just the same…
Yes you should get her a scrating post…you may have her front claws declawed but her back arent…i suggest gettin her a scrating post and buying something called cat nip…it will encourge her to want to scratch her nails. cats LOVE cat nip the first time you give itto her she will go crazy on it!! she will nibble eat chew and just play with it
You don’t need one. My cat is declawed (not my choice) and she still goes through the motions of clawing but she just does that on our couch and since she is declawed it doesn’t cause any damage.
