"I have an itch to scratch!"
Scratching has many functions for cats; it's not just about keeping their nails healthy, it's also about marking territory, releasing stress and even stretching a little.
Cats have to scratch, so if you don't provide them with a scratching surface, they'll end up doing it on your favorite sofa or on the carpet.
Make sure that this doesn't happen, and put together these DIY scrapers with materials you probably already have at home!
