Scratching!

Have you ever seen a cat scratch a scratch post? WHY!?

This has been the savior of our couch. Without this scratch post positioned exactly where it is our fragile, fabric couch would go to the cats!

Maxine gets more use of the couch, but it provides a specific function for the cats - they love to run up and down it, making bank shots to the moon!

But I will give a prize to the best guess as to why cats need to scratch! (and it will be a good prize!)
