There is unfortunately currently no where to learn about which type of cat scratching post makes a cat happiest. The best method is to buy a selection of cat scratching posts for your own cat and see which one that it likes the best. Another alternative is to read online reviews to see which other cats liked the best, however, that doesn't guarantee that it will apply to your own cat as well.
You can try rubbing some catnip on the scratching post to see if that entices your cat to use it. You could also try placing it in the way of where your cat is now scratching to try to redirect him/her. However, not all cats like scratching posts and if your cat doesn't want to use it, he/she won't and there isn't much you can do about it.
Provide the cat with appropriate scratching posts or pads made of rough material like sisal or cardboard. Encourage them to use these by placing treats or catnip on them. Use positive reinforcement when they use the scratching post and redirect them gently if they scratch the carpet.
Provide alternative scratching surfaces like scratching posts, pads, or boards. Use deterrents like double-sided tape or citrus sprays on furniture. Regularly trim your cat's nails or use soft nail caps to reduce damage. Additionally, provide enrichment and playtime to keep your cat mentally and physically stimulated.
