My neighbor said I was over-engineering my cat's scratching post until his cat tore up his couch last week.

I built a six foot tall post with a heavy plywood base and sisal rope wrapped twice over, and he laughed saying a cardboard box works just fine, but now his couch has these long pulls in the fabric and he's texting me asking for the rope supplier I used - has anyone else had a DIY project prove someone wrong like that?

You seeing that rope splinter anywhere on your floor? Good. My cat shreds cardboard in two days flat, sisal holds up for years. People act like cats are simple until they lose a sofa.

Man, I once spent three hours building a custom cat tree only to watch my cat nap in the Amazon box it came in.
