Testing a Cat Scratch Post
Every cat scratch post should be tested to make sure they are sturdy and strong. A cat scratch post is typically made up of plywood or metal frame and a strong base. You need a cat scratch post that is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the cat, especially since cats like to jump and pounce on things. However, if they see that something is not likely to hold their weight, they might be wary of the post and start avoiding it, rendering your new purchase useless. You can test your cat scratch post by pushing on it using your own weight. You can secure the post by nailing it to the floor or using weights around the post to keep it
