Petlinks wave scratcher is a must. We have 2 furballs and they are always at the scratcher. I have all types of scratchers thought out the house. This one they hide on each other and pounce on each other. Its one of the better scratches on the market. It makes no mess so your not cleaning up cardboard .

Tried and tested, the wave scratching post is a favourite at our home! I think we currently have 2-3. I have yet to meet a cat who doesn't like this - it offers a horizontal scratching surface that really appeals to cats.

It’s a necessary accessory – but also a removable toy with a spring under it. If you have kittens in the house, this is a perfect first scratcher – they love playing on, under, over it. Three litters of foster kittens in our home can attest to it - plus our own 3 cats. They are sturdy last quite long (until claws rip the natural scratching surface to shreds). The interesting thing is that both cats and kittens like sleeping on it too. Rated 5 Paws – great for home use (try rubbing a bit of catnip on it), effective, and long lasting

There are other cheaper brands, but I don't know how durable they are.
