Refresh cat scratching post
My cat Sammy loves his cat tree hot and heartfelt. Of course, he often uses it as well. Especially the scratching trunks in the lower area. Unfortunately, two of them were so "tattered" that I decided to wrap the trunks with new sisal.
I removed the two trunks concerned with the Allen key and removed the broken rope and plush that had been wrapped around the trunks.
In the run-up, I ordered 25 m sisal in 10 mm thickness from a large internet retailer, which was also delivered the next day.
I then tied the new rope to the lower end of the two trunks first with a small nail, so that it does not slip away and then wrapped the trunks very tightly with the sisal. Make sure that there are no gaps between the individual rows of cables.
At the upper end I then cut the rope accordingly and fixed with the electric stapler in the inner part of the trunk in several places. Never attach the clips to the trunk - risk of injury to the cat!
I then mounted the two cat tree trunks on the cat tree again and my cat was very happy about the newly wrapped trunks. Has tested it extensively.
I assume that the thicker rope will definitely last a while longer than the old material.
The renewal of the cat tree trunks was a cheaper alternative to buying a new scratching post because the inner tubes were undamaged.
If other strains show signs of wear, I will definitely renew them with the same method.
The rope I used up to 2 m. It cost me just under 22, - Euro.
