Care for your kitties!

Why Your Cat Scratches Everything (and Why That’s a Good Thing!)

Let’s face it — if you live with a cat, you’ve probably sacrificed a few sofas, curtains, or table legs to the mysterious forces of feline destruction. But before you wage war on those little claws, take a deep breath… because scratching isn’t just a habit — it’s a way of life for cats.

So, why do cats scratch?

Because they’re evil villains plotting to ruin your interiors?

Nope. They’re actually doing some really important stuff:

1. Claw Care is Self-Care

Scratching helps cats shed the outer layer of their claws. Think of it like your kitty’s version of a manicure — sharp, clean, and totally essential.

2. Marking Their Territory (With Style)

Cats have scent glands in their paws. When they scratch, they leave behind their scent. It's their way of saying, “This couch? Mine.” “That corner? Also mine.” Your cat is basically decorating the house in Eau de Meow.

3. Stress Relief is Real

Scratching helps cats relieve anxiety, boredom, or pent-up energy. Ever see your cat go wild after a nap? That zoom-scratch combo is pure feline therapy.

4. It’s In Their Nature

Scratching is instinctive. Declawing or punishing them for it isn’t just unfair — it’s confusing and harmful. Cats don’t scratch out of spite. They scratch because it’s who they are. Like breathing, purring, or pretending not to hear you when you call.

The Solution? Give Them Something Better to Scratch!

This is where CoziKat comes in (cue cute jingle). Our scratchers and loungers are made for real cats, the ones who love to scratch, nap, and rule the world from their cardboard throne. Designed with love (and tested by rescue cats!), they’re furniture-safe, vet-approved, and 100% guilt-free.

When you give your cat a proper place to scratch, you’re not just saving your sofa — you’re saying:

"Hey buddy, I get you. Scratch away."

So go ahead, let them claw because a scratched post is a happy cat. And a happy cat? That’s the real reward.
