Dear Dr. Schelling,

Is one scratching post enough for my cat?

-Marco in New York

Dear Marco,

You can never have too many scratching posts. Most cats appreciate being able to scratch on a variety of different materials, and on a mix of upright posts and flat or inclined scratching pads. As a result, they scratch more, which exercises their bodies, reduces stress, and provides multiple other benefits. If you place various types of scratching furniture in your cat's favorite locations, you'll have a happy scratcher. To learn more about multiple scratching surfaces read my article on THE BENEFITS OF MULTIPLE SCRATCHING SURFACES.
