My cat has an unusual scratching preference: he likes to scratch on the piping that runs around the edge of the seats of upholstered chairs. The position is that he's standing up with his front legs parallel to the floor, and he scratches sort of horizontally and down, on the edge of the seat.
I've tried several different types of scratchers but nothing will dissuade him from the chair habit. I have a large cat tree near his favorite chair-victim with sisal wrapped and carpeted poles, and a couple of horizontal cardboard scratchers as well as a wall-mounted curved cat shelf. He scratches one of the sisal poles (that I wrapped with extra thick rope to mimic the upholstery piping) and ignores everything else.
I'm looking for a cat scratcher that requires minimal floor space and has that same size & shape as the chair edge. I haven't seen anything that might suit. Does anyone have a recommendation for something that might work?
