Cats love to scratch. They scratch your carpet, your doors, and they’ve probably scratched you a time or two in their lifetime. But while that scratching might be annoying at times, it’s actually healthy for your favorite felines. 

Scratching is an important practice that helps cats maintain the health of their nails, stretch their muscles, mark their territory, and let out their emotions, according to the Animal Humane Society. However, that doesn’t mean you want them using you or your furniture as a go-to scratching post. 

If you want to give your cat something durable to scratch, there are plenty of cat scratching accessories to choose from. But some options out there are factory-made and may contain toxins that are potentially harmful. If you want a safe and healthy cat scratching accessory for your cat, here are our top cat scratching accessories made from 100% toxin-free, natural fibers.

2. Sisal Remnants

Typically, cat scratching posts are tall and narrow. But what if you want to create a more advanced or unique scratching area for your cat? This is where sisal remnants can be a big help. As pieces of 100% natural sisal fibers, these remnants are perfect for creating your own scratching posts, ramps, beams, or replacing worn out sisal.

For example, we’ve seen people wrap large wooden beams with their sisal remnants to create fun ramps and posts for their cats to use and reach new heights. In addition, you can adhere your sisal remnants onto unused shelves that your cat likes to use as a perch so they can entertain themselves while lying around.

3. Sisal Cat Scratch Board

Posts, ramps, and perches are great scratching areas for around your home. But what if you want a cat scratching accessory that you can freely move and take with you while traveling? Sisal cat scratching boards are portable, allowing you to take them with you wherever you go. Plus, they can help keep your cat from pulling at your carpet or area rugs if you place them on top of or near your floor coverings. 

If it’s a struggle to keep your cat occupied with a scratching board, they can also come with fun toy attachments like a mouse. That way your cat can playfully swat at mice while scratching to keep their bodies healthy.

If your doors have endured plenty of scratches over the years, a door knob hanging scratching pad is ideal for prevent scratches on your doors. They’re painless to install, too—just hang them on the door knobs that seem to get the most attention from your cat. Or, if you don’t want to buy several pads, just carry one pad room to room depending on where your cat is lounging that day.
