In short : Your scratching post tips over because the base is too small, the floor is too slick, or both. Start with a non-slip pad and some extra weight in the base — that fixes most wobbling in under fifteen minutes. If your cat launches off the top, add a wall strap so the … Read more

In short : Your arthritic senior cat needs a tree that’s lower, wider, and softer than what you’d pick for a younger cat. Short gaps between levels, generous platforms, and a ramp or shallow steps beat tall posts and big leaps every time. Stability and warmth matter more than height, so look for padding and … Read more
