Thanks Franny-Froo for this week’s Tightarse Tuesday. “Got a dead scratching post? Pull off the old sisal rope, slip on some gardening gloves and get wrappy with a new roll o’ rope from your local hardware store.”

I’d imagine you can secure the ends with a row of nails (all the way around, I’m told, to really secure the rope) and rub catnip into the new rope to re-spark puss’s interest.
