Our beautiful Birman Gemma has two scratching posts – a biggish one in the house and a smaller, lighter one in the caravan. The caravan scratching post was badly in need of repair, as it had been scratched down to the bone, so to speak. Or in this case, down to the cardboard cylinder. It was looking rather sad and sorry indeed.
Oh dear, there’s a hole
Robin decided to take it down to the Menz Shed and hopefully repair it. The cylinder was unbolted from the base, and both pieces recovered with carpet. Bang, bang with the nail gun, and it was soon completed. Thank you Derek for saving us some carpet scraps, just what we needed. Now it looks as good as new, and ready to go back into the caravan for our next trip away.
As good as new
This particular scratching post is rather light and could easily be pulled over by a cat focused on the job of sharpening her claws. But Gemma has worked out how to make good use of it without tipping it over – what a clever cat!

What a good job they did. As good as new! Joey has four scratching poles in various rooms of our house.. They have rope around the poles and are getting very close to needing replacing. We might see if we have any carpet scraps we can use. Thanks for the inspiration.
