No matter how well groomed Fluffy is or how avid a nail-clipper you are, cats’ claws need to be filed daily (if you haven’t noticed this yet, just ask your sofa and rugs). This is why every kitty castle needs some form of cat scratching post, but the Emory cat scratcher is more than just a utilitarian tool to shield your fabrics from your playful kitty’s formidable claws; it’s as chic as the fab furniture you’re protecting. Far from the throwaways you’ll find elsewhere, the cardboard cat scratcher housed in Emory’s modern pinewood frame is refillable, and you can grab refills HERE. Emory’s pads are rounded to eliminate sharp edges and its adjustable frame supports three positions to satisfy every cat from Lazy Lucy, who needs to nap on a level surface between scratches, to Brave Bella, who prefers an alpine style of scratchy climb. Average Andy will appreciate the middle-incline position (as if any cat could be called “average.”)
