Why is sisal a better material than cardboard for a cat scratcher?
Sisal is a natural fiber that is extracted from the Agave plant, making it a more durable and long-lasting material compared to cardboard. It's also a rougher material, which helps to naturally file down a cat's nails as they scratch, promoting healthy nail growth and preventing them from becoming too long or sharp. Additionally, sisal sheds less than cardboard, which means you can say goodbye to the daily vacuuming of cardboard bits.Β
