cats are not as eager to enjoy the gifts we bring home to them as
we might like. With our own cat, who enjoys high perches, we actually
had to show him that the Lotus is easily accessed by jumping from
shelf to shelf – he simply did not know this new piece of
furniture was meant for him! Using favorite treats, we lured him
from shelf to shelf till he reached the top. Other ideas for encouraging
include spraying or sprinkling the unit with Catnip. Try placing
the unit near a favorite window or other favorite spot in your house.

Usually cats don’t know they are meant to scratch the sisal instead of your Oriental rug. If your cat is attracted to the smell of catnip, try sprinkling catnip on the sisal. Also, we found that if owners scratched items in front of their cat, the cat will mimic. Use this method to scratch the sisal. You can also remove the sisal units and place them in areas your cat usually scratches. Once the cat realizes the sisal is for him, he will scratch away. Another method is to get the cat’s personal scent on the sisal. Carefully rub her paws on the sisal, or wipe her paws several times with a damp paper towel and then rub the towel on the sisal. This technique is also useful for nervous cats who are spraying – rub their body with some towels, then rub the towels on surfaces in the areas that cause him to spray. If cats smell their own scent, they tend not to mark again.
