I would get Feliway diffusers plugged in. It is likely territory marking and it could simply be due to stress. What changes have happened that may have caused him stress? We brought in a special needs cat that is onery due to having FHS. Our senior male started urine marking things when we...

Congratulations on getting her caught. I let 2 ferals come into the garage to use heated houses all winter. It's been chilly and raining a lot lately so I've left the garage door up a bit during the day now. Raccoons come in and make a terrible mess, so after dusk the cat flap and garage door...

I have found a carpet store that will give me the small bound carpet samples they give you to take home to check for color. I will use some of those on the carpet side and some on the backing side and take back what I bought at HD if I can find the receipt as I find I'm allergic to something on...

@foxden Thanks!

I am on android. I do not want to quote anything. By tapping reply, I expected a notation to which msg I was responding to would be added so that it would be easier to follow the discussion.

To PushPurrCatPaws Thank you. I'm looking for fabric vs rope.

To all: is it normal for this site for the default to be set to quote the entire post? This time I just deleted it all, but assume there is a better way. To tinydestroyer, post: 4754152: Thank you for trying all those searches. I found that supplier also, but the backing and $ it would take...

Really, I haven't seen that used. Let us know how it goes.

I don't know that I've seen cats scratch rubber, and I'm afraid it would shed particulate they might eat which would not be a good thing.

I have not read good things about trying to use burlap, but I like your idea about ordering the samples. Thanks!

Hello! Thank you for your reply. I found the same person in AU! Yesterday I chatted with one US based site that imported fabric from Belgium but the minimum purchase was too big. I don't know why this is so difficult. The manufacturers using sisal frabric certainly don't weave it. I found...

Thank you for your response. Looking for jute brings up burlap which isn't woven very tightly and is sometimes a synthetic. It did, however, introduce me to some new sites to search for sisal. When I see 10lbs listed in regard to sisal I assume that implies the tightness of the weave. If...

I'm a volunteer at a non profit (501c(3)) cat shelter . We typically place about 250 cats a year and have room for about 200 cats spread across several rooms. Our cat trees get a lot of use! They currently need to be refurbished. I would like to use sisal fabric to replace areas of the...

This is the cat tree our senior uses. I can't find a link right now.

Neither our senior, nor our younger cats use this tree when we thought it would be great. The problem is that the levels aren't offset enough and are too steep. Our senior is especially large - long and tall.
