Ideas for decorating a scratching post?!

SillyMangoX

Hi folks, I got an absolutely maaassive scratching post today, the thing is taller than me! It takes up a considerable bit of space in the sitting room so we decided we would incorporate it into out decorating My mam suggested wrapping it in tinsel but Dude is a chewer and the last thing I need is to be bringing him to the vet for an emergency 'tinsel-ectomy' :P I really have no other ideas of what to do though, so if anyone has any suggestions/ decorates their own cat furniture any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I have a new cat tree too, I'm planning on a bit of tinsel, but my daughter wanted to put fairy lights on it!
Will be interesting what ideas you get on here, might inspire us too.

Can you put up a picture or a link to give an idea of size/scale etc?

Here's a pic! See I don't think I could use anything stringy or with wires cos Dude just loves to chew things like that!

how about fastening (securely!) cheapy baubles - play toys and decoration

Cheap wrapping paper but be prepared you'l probably, no definitely, have to replace it every few days! I like the baubles idea too, you could probably sew them in so they go flying off every few minutes!

We've decided to be minimalistic (and safe!) and just hang the cats stockings off the scratching post so not too much damage can be done

That thing is amazing. Cat heaven!
