Question I don't know the answer to: am I supposed to replace Ollie's scratching post when the sisal gets worn? Like if it's not really nubby anymore?

How do I not know this?

Chubbins scratching post is hilariously unused but of course Ollie won't touch it.

Effing nubby. -- nm - Qale Sep 30, 17:56
is he still using it? -- nm - mafic Sep 30, 17:24 8
- Oliver is a girl kitty!!! She uses it all the time. -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 17:30 7
  - I feel I should have known this. I think I replaced my last one when there were like sisal strands hanging off it and the cats were like "maybe sofa?" -- nm - mafic Sep 30, 17:33 6
    - Yeah sorry but you can't have nice things when you have cats. Or babies. -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 17:35 5
      - M brought a rug back from a layover in Istanbul a couple years ago and cats were like "for us? you shouldn't have." - mafic Sep 30, 17:37 4
        
        I read somewhere that if you spray rugs with lemon oil/bergamot oil/tea tree oil/rosemary oil that cats won't scratch them. Ha ha ha ha - amanda Sep 30, 17:48 3
        
        Murphy's Oil Soap? - Reagen Sep 30, 17:55 1
        
        Hmmm. We will try. -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 18:07
        
        I mean Hamachi does hate lemon, but she's not really the problem. -- nm - mafic Sep 30, 17:53
I replace them once they're good and shredded. -- nm - Krusty Sep 30, 16:53 3
- It's so crazy that in decades of cat ownership I've never had one destroyed before. Good kitty. Right? -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 17:12 2
  - Definitely a good kitty for using the post over your couch or something else you like. :-) - Krusty Sep 30, 17:15 1
    - Their little couches are corrugated cardboard. That's what chubbins uses (well, those and my bedroom rug). -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 17:31
Clarifying. Yes the scratching post is notnub. -- nm - amanda Sep 30, 16:52
