Novice cat owners always have many questions. For example, how should the cat scratching post be replaced? Does it need to be changed regularly like cat litter? Let me talk about it below!
How often does it take to replace a cat scratching post?
My answer is, if it’s not worn out, there’s no need to replace it! Because every cat likes scratching posts differently. Some cats like the scratching post very much and will scratch it seven or eight times a day. After three months, the scratching post will become deflated, and the scratching post needs to be replaced with a new one.
If the cat doesn’t like the scratching post very much, you can wait until the scratching board is worn out before replacing it. This way you can save some money and it won’t be too wasteful.
Because the cat claw board is made of corrugated paper, which means it is made from big trees, it is more environmentally friendly to replace it less often.
How can you be sure that a cat scratching post is broken?
Some owners may have just started raising cats and are not sure whether the scratching post is broken. They always think that the scratching post is useless if the cat scratches out a large piece of paper.
In fact, the real situation is not like this. If there are paper scraps on the surface of the cat scratching board, the owner only needs to clean it with his hands and sweep the paper scraps away. The cat scratching post below is still good.
As long as the cat scratching post is not completely soft to the touch, it can continue to be used. No need to change too frequently!
How to save money by raising a cat?
There are many toys for cats on the Internet, such as cat tunnels, cat swings, etc. In fact, there are some toys that we owners can make by ourselves. Like the cat tunnel.
Because online shopping is now convenient, we buy a lot of things every day. Some merchants use paper boxes to deliver goods, and owners can use the paper boxes to make toys for cats.
The simplest thing is to cut a hole on both sides of a square cardboard box that is suitable for the cat’s body, so that the cat can shuttle and play in the hole.
Owners who have raised cats should know that cats especially like to get into some hidden corners to play. Therefore, the owner’s carton can be easily processed and turned into a natural toy for the cat.
It doesn’t cost any money and is not troublesome. How easy? This way, the owner can practice his craftsmanship. If he wants the cardboard box to be more distinctive, he can also draw the appearance of his own cat on the outside and sign the cat’s name, which is the best of both worlds!
