class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Scratching helps remove the outer layer from a cat&#8217;s nails: it&#8217;s good grooming behavior. Cats scratch to stretch their claws, feet, and bodies. This releases feel-good hormones that help keep your cat healthy. Cats scratch to release stress or excitement or blow off steam.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_does_it_mean_when_a_cat_uses_a_scratching_post\"><\/span>What does it mean when a cat uses a scratching post?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Scratching is a normal, instinctive cat behavior. Cats have a need to scratch. They do it to express emotions, like excitement or stress, to mark objects with their scent (they have scent glands in their paws), to remove the dead part of their nails and, often, just to get a good stretch.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_scratching_posts_FILE_cats_nails\"><\/span>Do scratching posts FILE cat&#8217;s nails?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Yes. <\/b><b>The urge to scratch is ingrained in every cat, and they&#8217;ll do it whether you want them to or not.
