Hello everyone. While I figured out how to prevent Isabelle from scratching the carpet in front of the door separating the upstairs and downstairs by placing a doormat there as she scratches on that instead, Katrina has been using the carpet for scratching. This is Katrina's first time with carpet, and it is anywhere, not just one spot. I could not bring any of the cats scratching posts here from my place yet, but my mom is letting me borrow extra cat furniture from her cat. So, a tall sisal post and a carpet covered round tallish cat furniture with 2 cubby holes, but it seems to be worn as Katrina has tried scratching on it and her nails do not catch. There are also multiple cardboard scratchers laying on the floor.
I bought a Dream Curl scratcher, which is mostly a carpet material, and a scratch and relax mat, which has a small portion carpet like materiel.

Katrina is not using any of these. What are some suggestions for inexpensive carpet scratchers that your cats have liked? Many posts are short, which is why I am hesitant to buy a cat scratching post.
I'm also looking into buying carpet samples to try. The samples seem to be $1 for a 8x8 inch piece. My mom is looking to see if she has information on the type of carpet it might be. If she finds it, I will look for a similar style. Although, the patches are small, so is there an easy way to attach multiple pieces? Any inexpensive rugs that can be recommended that may work, too? Thanks for any help!
