Somewhere in my lolpic collection, I have one of a kitten trying to pounce on a sibling's tail. The captions read as follows:One kitten digging in the orchid garden. Other kitten creeps up behind him, jumps over his tail, and lands on his head.
That looks like a very contented cat.
he was adopted by a woman who has an entire room set up for him, and she's willing to spend whatever time he needs to be rehabilitated. It was a yay! ending for him, about as best he could hope for

But there's no hemp rope on Bohol. 
But for some inexplicable reason, their scratching doesn't seem to be damaging the fabric. 
Do you have cardboard? There are plenty of DIY videos for that.There are no scratching posts on my island of Bohol.
I thought maybe a DIY.
Maybe canvas? No, my kittens don't like canvas.
They do like my sofa and armchairs.
Nail a 14" long, 8" diameter "log" to a 12" square of plywood and stand it up in a convenient place. They will find it.There are no scratching posts on my island of Bohol.

You can also wrap the log (of any kind of wood) in carpet. A rougher surface is usually more attractive to a cat than a smooth one though. We have often used big 12-14" wide 24" tall logs stood on end for our cats too. We usually put them on the patio or porch. No base is needed since they are heavy and stable.I have so much cardboard, it's coming out my ears (which is very painful).
Okay, so on a 12"-square base, nail an upright 14"-high log which is 8" in diameter. --I think extending one side of the base out an additional 18" is more better because then both vertical and horizontal cats could use it.
Both these proposed solutions are very doable. Thanks.
