Hello there. This is Don Purrleone from the Cat Scratch Company. I want to take a minute to talk to you about a problem that many residents of Whisker City are experiencing. Some on a daily basis.
Scratching.
Are you feeling bored? Are you tired of destroying all the furniture in your house? Do you find yourself mindlessly scratching the arms of your couch or the surface of your dining room table? Is your monthly furniture bill through the roof?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, now may be the time to buy a scratch pad for cats. Scratching is instinctive, but destroying your home doesn't have to be. We've helped cats far and wide discover a better way to scratch without paying high prices. There is a better way!
Why Do Cats Scratch Furniture?
Cats can scratch for several reasons. First, they scratch to mark territory, as their paws have scent glands that leave a slight odor. Second, they scratch to stretch and engage their muscles. Scratching can also help remove dead parts of their nails, or allow cats to express emotions like stress or happiness.
Let us tell you a tail of Mary. Mary was a calico cat who was at the end of her rope. Literally. She had a scratching rope dangling from her ceiling, but she was nearing the end of it and had no replacement ready to go.
Mary was also stressed at work. Since she works at a high-octane office in the heart of Whisker City, Mary didn't have many ways to relax. Catnip is outlawed in the city, so she can't get a free hit to relax and unwind.
That's when it started.
It was innocent enough. A few scratches on the bedpost. Wood is perfect for scratching because it's strong enough and thick enough to let cats dig their claws in deep.
Since Mary lived alone, she didn't mind seeing the evidence of her scratching. There was no one around to impress, and what's the harm if her bedpost gets a little torn up?
After a few days, her entire bed frame was practically in tatters. She knew she had a problem when her mattress came crashing down onto the floor in the middle of the night. And yet, she didn't do anything about it. No replacement rope, not even a cat scratcher to keep her occupied.
Do Cats Get Bored?
Yes, as with most animals, cats can get bored when left alone for long stretches. Indoor cats are especially prone to boredom, particularly if they live in a small area, like an apartment or condo. Toys and scratching posts can help alleviate boredom when you're away.
According to Mary, the problem started in the bedroom but quickly took over the rest of her apartment. She'd come home from a long, stressful day and start scratching. It didn't matter where, and most of the time, she didn't even realize she was doing it. One time, she was making pasta, and realized she scratched the bejeezus out of her stirring spoon, forcing her to switch to a metal one instead.
One day, she put food on the dining room table, only for it to collapse in a pile of toothpicks. It was then that Mary realized she had a problem with no solution.
Sure, some cat nip would help her relax and alleviate her stress after a hard day at work, but the goons at the mayor's office are total squares, forbidding cats like Mary from getting the relief they need.
So, they scratch instead. We've seen it a million times, and every time, we know just what to do.

How to Keep Cats From Scratching Furniture
The best way to prevent cats from scratching furniture is to use a scratching post or scratch pad. As long as the post is sturdy, won't wobble, and is covered in a rope called sisal, cats will prefer it to other options like wooden furniture or upholstery.
It wasn't until Mary replaced and re-destroyed her new bedroom set that she called our office. She was practically in tears, begging us to mail her the latest scratch pad model. The Cat Scratcher 3000, with the optional cat toy upgrade. It's currently available for purchase wherever you get your cat toys and supplies.
"Sure thing, Ms. M, we can ship that out to you as soon as possible," our operator told her. We only hire the best customer service agents, and everyone you speak to will be friendly, reliable, and easy-going. You won't be talking to a machine, and we won't give you the runaround.
"Would you like overnight shipping on that, Ms. M?"
"Yes, please! Whatever it costs, just send it to me!" She replied. Imagine her pleasant surprise when we told her that shipping was free because her order was high enough to qualify. The sigh of relief practically came in through the phone line!
Mary was also so excited that we could ship overnight to her address and install the cat scratcher in her home. This kind of high-quality service is available to all our customers, not just those desperately needing a constructive way to scratch.
