Ok. @BF_2's friend:

Only three? Pfft. Cats are particular about how, where, and what they scratch. Get a scratching mat on the floor, a tall scratching post, and an S-shaped one. Sisal material tends to be the best, but not for all cats. Figure out which kinds your cat likes, then put one or two in every room. If it scratches a specific piece of furniture, wrap a sisal mat around the area that gets scratched.

Then check all the pictures on your phone. If 95% of them aren't of your cat, then cats are probably not for you, and you should get a goldfish or something instead.

That's good information, but now look online and notice that there are very limited choices available commercially. I recently had to buy a scratching post for my sister -- who knew what her cats preferred -- and I wasted hours looking for one.

You cannot be serious about that statement.
