    Do the large wild cats scratch trees like domestic cats scratch scratch posts?

    Question #84656. Asked by star_gazer. (Aug 17 07 3:21 PM)


    zbeckabee

    		In the wild, cats scratch around their immediate environment to signal their presence to other cats and to claim the area in question. The marking takes two forms: visual and olfactory. The visual is in the form of clawing marks and is so obvious that even we humans can recognize it. The olfactory mark is subtler, involving the release of pheromones.
