how do you make a cat scratch post?
i recently had carpets added in my house and we were given spare carpets. i have two cats and i thought that since they tear up the couch and quite possibly will tear up the carpets, i thought i would make a scratching post for them. i wanted to make one with little pom poms hanging down. so if you have any ideas on how to make it... it would be great.
All it is is carpet stapled or glued to a wood substrate. You can actually glue or staple and completely cover any item that the cat might find interesting. Give them some cat nip, maybe rub it in the carpet on the item you made. They will notice it very quickly.

Here are two suggestions from halfway point schoolers we know: plates that change color in a microwave so you have knowledge of how hot they are, and sofas with cat scratching posts built into the corners. (Why contest it? They're going to claw there anyway.) and more »
