Cat Scratcher

Scratching is a normal behavior and one that cats are highly motivated to display. It’s not realistic to try to prevent a cat from scratching. Instead, try redirecting their habit to scratch acceptable objects such as a PetFusion Jumbo Cat Scratcher Lounge or a PetFusion Cat Scratching Flip Pad.

Another great alternative to treat your cat to is the Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge. Made from recycled corrugated cardboard, non-toxic corn starch glue, and premium satin cardboard siding, it gives your cat a practical and enjoyable means to unleash all of its scratching desires.

Catnip encourages your cat to enjoy themselves as well as move and play more. These benefits are particularly useful in helping overweight cats get the exercise they need to trim down.

If you’re after a high-quality batch to give to your cat, FAT CAT® Zoom Around the Room® high-test organic catnip is it. This 100% Organic Grown In USA product contains only the leaf and the flower. Comes in a zip-sealed plastic bag for ultimate freshness.
