Which scratching post texture gets a chunky-looking British Shorthair interested without overdoing the toy chaos?

I’ve been through this with my own British Shorthair, who’s built like a small barrel and has zero interest in anything that requires effort. The texture that actually works without turning your living room into a cat circus is plain sisal rope-tightly wound, coarse, but not the scratchy plastic kind. My guy ignored the fancy cardboard and carpet ones completely until I got a simple vertical post wrapped in natural sisal. He’s lazy, so I made sure it’s sturdy enough to lean on without wobbling, and now he uses it daily for a quick scratch without knocking over half the house. Don’t bother with dangling toys or feathers on the post-he just stares at them like I’m offending his dignity. Keep it basic, and he’ll actually use it.
