Having a cat and keeping your furniture scratch free might seem a daunting prospect. But getting a good scratching post will save your furniture. Here, Cool Stuff for Cats lists some of the best cat scratching posts that we have found.

We look for scratching posts that are durable and hard wearing. They should be sturdy and allow our cats to get a full body stretch. The more our cats use scratching posts then the less they will use our furniture, curtains or walls for sharpening their claws.
