[Video] #4 –How to Make a DIY Self-Scratcher for Cats in 2 Min

How to make a DIY Cats Scratcher only 2 min

Cats are meticulous groomers. Unlike most other animals, they make sure that their body remains clean and their fur coat remains quite shiny. Yes, the diet helps and so does cleaning the cat in a while, but they do know how to take care of themselves.

However, cats do scratch themselves quite regularly and depending from one cat to another, the frequency changes. The problem is if they are scratching themselves against any surface or object that can cause them harm.

Also, there can be cat fur hairs attached to various places within the house and that can become health issue for the entire family. A much smarter way to tackle the issue is to create a self-scratcher for the cat.

What is a cat scratcher?

You are probably confused, what this self-scratcher is. Well, it is simply something that will allow your cat to scratch themselves with without really causing any harm to their fur and thereby controlling the places where the cats will be scratching themselves.

Why does your cat need a scratcher?

There is no way you can entirely stop your cat from scratching. Having designated areas simply reduces the chance of your cat fur from ending up all across the home. It also ensures that your cat does not harm himself/herself while scratching. The process is really simple and you can check it below.
