I bought 5 different scratching posts. 3 next to my couch and in front of places she used to scratch, 2 next to where she sits in the living room. She even likes to scratch one my suitcase in the bedroom, which I'm perfectly fine with it. I even brought it to the living room next to the couch.

She doesn't like any of that. Catnip doesn't have any effects on her either. I tried to pursue her with laser to shift her attention to other posts. She would scratch them for a bit then she walks away. :D

I love my cat and I'm not complaining in a bad way. I'm just trying to figure her out. That's all.

Edit: those are the posts I bought from Amazon

Protip: Start cheap. Cats enjoy making you spend money on them, only to bat whatever you bought under the couch, and never touch it again.


You're definitely going to want a scratching post. a.) cats are going to scratch because it releases endorphins and keeps their claws nice and strong and pretty, and it's another way of territory marking b.) If you don't give them something to scratch, they will scratch what you didn't give them to scratch, i.e. your bed frame, your couch, your table legs, your couch cushions, your own legs, your Aunt Phillis, etc. Point is, I've never had a cat that didn't use a scratching post. You may have to show it to them a few times to get them used to it, but get something with a toy attached to the top, (like the one in the link below) and as soon as they start playing with it, and get their claws stuck in that glorious scratching post, they will fall in love with it.

This also takes care of your bed desire. If she/he doesn't like the bed (or the scratching post), then hey, you've still got a scratching post, (or a bed). My bet is, that once they start playing with that little toy on top, they will pass right out in that bed. (Also has some really great reviews.)

As for the cat tree, personally, I've always wanted one, but I've never had room for one. Try out something small like the thing I linked above, and see how they like it, and how they interact with it. If they like it, then you may want to spend some more coin on a big cat tree. If they never even look at it, then you might want to consider saving the money.


Hope this helps.

Congrats on the new kitty!

Stuff I can think of:

1. Interact with your cat a lot to get it socialized.
   
   
2. Get a nice comfy bed, some toys, and a litter box. The. rule of thumb with litter boxes is to have one more box than cat. So, one cat and two boxes.
   
   
3. Clean the litter boxes at least once a day.
   
   
4. Find a good vet and emergency vet in your area.
   
   
5. Get a scratching post if you value your furniture. I had one of [these](TRIXIE Pet Products Baza Cat Tree https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0027IVL6K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zxw6AbS76SMKJ) and my cat loved it.
   
   
6. Don't cheap out on food. Nutrition is important.
   
   
7. Consider pet insurance.
   
   I'm sure there's more stuff but that's all I can think of right now.

Here is the link to the cat tree in case you want to check it out.

My kitties love their hammock! They are always fighting over who gets to use it. All my furbabies here :)

Ask me about my wiener
Do you have a cat? If so, the thing you should be adding to your wishlist is this adorable cat tree.
(if you don't have a cat I would still like to hear about any other pets you have or have had)
