Cat Scratching Posts & Cat Towers

What is the best design for cat scratching posts?

At Somerzby, we stock a range of high-quality scratchers, designed to keep your cat happy and your furniture safe. Whether your cat prefers compact scratchers or multi-level trees and towers, we have the perfect solution to suit every unique need.

Multi-Level Towers for Climbing Fun

Multi-level towers and cat trees are ideal for larger and more active breeds. These structures provide ample space for climbing, jumping, and perching, mimicking a cat’s natural environment. 

They help maintain muscle tone, encourage exercise, and prevent boredom by offering different levels for exploration and rest. Large cats need sturdy, spacious platforms to support their size, and multi-level trees provide the perfect balance of stability and adventure. 

With built-in scratchers, hiding spots, and lounging areas, these towers keep energetic felines engaged while also giving them a secure place to relax. Our Felix cat scratcher was designed with these features in mind, for your feline to enjoy.

Durable Single Platform Scratchers

At Somerzby, our cat scratching posts and trees are made from high-quality durable materials to ensure long-lasting use. Sisal rope-wrapped posts offer the perfect texture for scratching, helping cats keep their claws healthy, while protecting the upright from damage. Sturdy bases are crucial as they provide stability to the vertical upright used to support the platform. 

The Kitty scratching post is designed with a thick base, and dense vertical sisal roped pole to endure your kitten’s sharp claws and remain stable when relaxing on the platform at the top.

Designs with Hiding Spots and Play Features

Our trees and towers are designed with built-in hiding spots and interactive play features to keep your cat entertained. These cozy spaces provide a sense of security, perfect for cats that love to curl up and relax. Many posts, trees, and towers also include dangling toys, tunnels, and platforms, encouraging play and exploration while supporting natural instincts.

Our Pixie provides a perfectly built-in hiding hole for your feline to curl up in, a dangling toy and a complete wall of sisal for scratching.

Consider Your Cat’s Size and Breed

When purchasing a scratching post, it is important to consider your cat’s breed, as different breeds vary in size and activity levels. Larger breeds, such as Maine Coons and Ragdolls, require sturdy, tall posts that provide adequate support and allow for full-body stretching.

Smaller or less active breeds on the other hand may prefer compact scratchers, as they require less effort. Additionally, senior cats or those with mobility issues benefit from lower or angled scratchers that reduce strain on their joints.

Consider Different Scratching Surfaces

Cats have unique preferences when it comes to scratching surfaces, so choosing the right material is important. 

Sisal rope is one of the most popular options due to its rough texture, which effectively satisfies a cat’s natural scratching instinct while being durable. Carpeted scratchers provide a softer surface that mimics home flooring, making it an ideal choice for cats that prefer a gentler feel. 

Cardboard scratchers are lightweight, replaceable, and great for shredding, while wooden posts offer a sturdy and natural alternative. Understanding your cat’s preferences helps you choose a scratcher that best suits your cat’s needs, keeping them engaged and satisfied

Posts, Trees, and Towers – What’s Best for Your Cat?

Choosing between posts, trees, and towers depends on your kitty’s habits, activity level and available space. Simple scratching posts are ideal for compact spaces and cats that prefer vertical scratching.

Cat trees combine scratching surfaces with climbing opportunities, making them perfect for cats that love climbing and lounging, while larger trees and towers offer the ultimate play experience with multiple platforms, hiding spots, and scratching surfaces, ideal for playful cats.
