Rope Cat Scratching Post
How can I get my cat to scratch the rope onher scratching post/perch?
We have one of those perches that is covered in carpeting except for the almost vertical support post, which is covered in sisel rope. Unfortunately, our cat only claws at the carpeted part, and never the rope. (Thankfully, she never claws the furniture.) I've tried putting catnip in the rope and playing with toys around the rope, but she just doesn't seem interested. Won't go for those cardboard scratching posts either.
There is an old saying:
You can lead a kitty to water...wait, Wrong saying.
You can buy a kitty anything and show it to them, and they're going to do whatever the hell they want to anyway.
Serious answer. If you've tried catnip and toys, you've done all you can do.
Your kitty prefers the carpet and that is that.
