Tonight was our deadline before we decided our found cat was "officially" adopted. We've always been dog people and have to admit we could not be more in love with her. Anyway, tomorrow I will be buying her everything her little heart could desire, and of course need a scratching post. I was wondering if since so far she has only scratched and kneaded at our carpet and nothing upright, should I buy her a flat scratching pad, instead of a high post? Will she probably want both? First cat, I apologize if this is elementary!
