RV Tech Tips cat scratching solution.
We like to bring along our cat whenever we travel by RV. But, as cat owners know, kitties have a way of ruining the furniture without a proper outlet for their scratching urges — which makes a scratching post a necessity.
To save space — and the furniture — I wrapped a length of rope around the dinette’s table leg for our cat to scratch. It works like a charm, and it lasts for years! Now, we don’t have to lug along a bulky scratching post.

Thanks for both the original tip from Eve and the modification from Malcolm! I usually take along an inclined cardboard scratcher, but it does take up space and is “one more thing” that I have to load/unload each time.

I love this idea! I can’t wait to try it and my cat, Surreal, thanks you.

This is absolutely brilliant! We have a very narrow leg on our table (it folds down so you can lower the table to make it into a bed), So I will get a small tube, a sono-tube or sewer pipe and slip it over the leg.
Thank you so much for the great idea.
