Your cat will love a good scratchpad and no doubt go to town on it, so you\u2019re going to want it to last more than one scratching session. Some cardboards are more sturdy than others, while some can easily flake away. Search for strength and see if the pad is double-sided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How often should I change out a scratching pad?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This varies depending on how many cats you have and the durability of the cardboard.\u00a0 If your cat is unable to latch its claws into the cardboard, it\u2019s time for a new pad.\u00a0 If claws easily sliding across the cardboard surface, that also means it\u2019s time to switch out that scratcher for a new one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kitty City Cat Scratcher There are two things cats absolutely love: laying down and scratching whatever they can sink their claws into.
