What Is The Best Door Frame Cat Scratcher?
To cut straight to the point, the best scratching mat that you could put on your door frame is the ‘Wall Mounted Scratching Post’ by 4CLAWS.


It is a simple, durable, and inexpensive scratch post that works well for both cats and kittens. It does what it is designed to do, and it does it well! It’s also far cheaper than most other door frame scratchers, making it a solid value for the price.
Here are a few of the features that I like about it.
Easy to Install
Hooks are mounted on a wall so you can simply tape your cat’s post to the wall and your cat can use it immediately. The post comes ready to install and does not need any additional tools.
Sturdy Construction
It can be used on any smooth surface, such as a door frame, wall, or ceiling.
Safe for Cats
Our post is made of high-quality steel and the hooks are made of rubber.
What Causes Cats to Scratch?
Part of the reason why cat owners have a hard time keeping their cats’ nails trimmed is that they don’t know why their cats are scratching the door frame in the first place.


Here are some reasons why your cats are scratching your door frame or other furniture.
Maintenance of the claws:
Cat claws are quite long and pointed, therefore, they need to be trimmed from time to time.
One way that cats do this is by scratching.
Scratching removes the outer sheath of the claw and the new claw grows from beneath.
Marking her territory:
Cats are very territorial. They will scratch at the door to your bedroom if you aren’t getting up when they want food. In the wild, they will scratch trees or the sides of caves to mark their territory. They also scratch to leave their scent behind.
A protective mechanism:
Scratching also relieves stress. When your cat scratches, they are releasing built-up energy. This is a natural way to release stress.
What’s the best way to keep my cats from clawing the door frames?
There are a few things that you can do to prevent your cat from scratching up your doorways.


Provide a variety of scratching posts for your cat:
It’s not nice to block off all of your cat’s options for scratching since it’s a natural behavior for them. However, you can create an ideal environment for your cat by providing lots of posts. Choose a decent scratch post that is tall and sturdy and that has a rough texture.
This will ensure that your cat can stretch, exercise, and scratch to its heart’s content.
Demotivate him from scratching:
If you have had a cat for a long time and he is an established or mature cat, you will probably have a hard time trying to stop him from scratching. This is because he has been doing it for a long time. And changing his scratching post or place will not be easy.
One way to demotivate your cat to scratch on a surface is by using a spray that creates an unpleasant smell on a surface. This spray reacts to the saliva of the cat and thus makes the surface unpleasant for the cat to scratch. This spray is definitely not harmful to the cat and to you.
Try using water or making a “hissing” noise:
When you see them ripping your furniture apart, try spraying water on them. A hissing noise usually works. If you do this at the right time, you can stop the cat from scratching. Do this every time you see them scratch at the sofa or chair and they will soon stop.
Nail care:
As cats need to get rid of the outer layer of their claw, they will scratch at something to get rid of that layer.
You can take matters into your own hands by taking care of their claws yourself.
However, this is only recommended if you know how to properly care for your cat’s claws and prevent further damage.
